C G F
well here i am 
walking down the street again 
like the scene of a movie 
just me and the garbage cans 

clicking my shoes on the ground 
like an aristocrat 
and the power of conviction 
yeah, i always fall for that 

Chorus (1)
F  Am G E
F Am  C
and i know why i say goodbye 
it's always true; brown not blue 
i've got no car, got no cash 
how could it last? 

C G F
cheer up moon 
the stars will keep you company 
i'm all right now 
i just let it get a piece of me 
all gives a damn 
well i probably say "i don't" it's true 
if the truth were to be known now 
i guess i'd probably say "i do" 

Chorus (2)
F Am G E
F Am G E
i know why i always do 
i always fall for "i love you" 
it's the crack of the whip; 
the sting of the lash 
the absence of "there" 
comes on in a flash 
it's all make believe 
it's all smoke and ash 
it's all they believe 
it's not made to last 
it's trash 
it's trash
(F Am G E X2 at the end)

well, here i am (solo, C G F in the background)

Chorus (3)
F Am G E
F Am G E
i know why i always do 
i always fall for "i love you" 
it's the crack of the whip; 
the sting of the lash 
the absence of "there" 
comes on in a flash 
it's all make believe 
it's all smoke and ash 
it's all they believe 
it's not made to last 
it's trash 
it's trash
(Am C G E X2 at the end)
