[Verse 1]
G D
So long ago, I don't remember when
F# Bm A
That's when they say I lost my only friend
G D
Well since she died easy of a broken heart disease
F# Bm A
As I listened through the cemetery trees
[Fill 1]
G D F# Bm A
G D
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
F# Bm A
The long broken arm of human law
G D
Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face
F# Bm A
So I wondered why she hung around this place

[Chorus]
G D Em
Hey, come on try a little nothing is forever
A
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G D Em
But me and Cinderella we put all together
A
We can drive it home with one headlight
[Fill 3]
G D F# Bm A
[Verse 2]
G D
She said it's cold it feels like independence day
F# Bm A
And I can't break away from this parade
G D
But There's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me
F# Bm A
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
G D
And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge
F# Bm A
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
G D
We'll run until she's out of breath she ran until there's nothin' left
F# Bm A
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
[Fill 4]

Hey, come on try a little nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than in the middle

But me and Cinderella we put all together
A
We can drive it home with one headlight

G D F# Bm A
[Verse 3]
G D
Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck
F# Bm A
I turn the engine, But the engine doesn't turn
G D
Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes this place is always such a mess
F# Bm A
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
G D
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody elce
F# Bm A
Man i ain't changed, but i know I ain't the same
G D
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
F# Bm A
I think her death it must be killin' me
[Fill 5]

Hey, come on try a little nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than in the middle

But me and Cinderella we put all together
A
We can drive it home with one headlight
