Lyrics: (from alkalinetrio.com)

My, my what a mess we've made

of our pretty little heads these days

It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently

Best wishes have been made for you

You never had no say it's true

You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen

And all your lonely nights in the city of lights

are much like all these crowded bars

I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

My, my what a mess was made of my head

when I heard what you'd been through that day

It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently

Letters meant to be sent have been torn

The phone lies off the hook, on the floor

All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless,

I fucked this one up long ago

And all your lonely nights in the city of lights

are much like all these crowded bars

I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

Fuck you Aurora,

You took my only friend

And although it's all my fault,

the blaming myself had to come to an end

so I say:

Fuck you Aurora,

You took my only friend

You wont catch me behind the wheel

of a Chrysler ever again

My, my what a mess we've made

of our precious little lives these days

It appears a big fucking tornado

has twisted us up recently

Best wishes have been made for you

You never had no say it's true

You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen

And all your lonely nights in the city of lights

are much like all these crowded bars

I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

Fuck you Aurora,

You took my only friend

And although it's all my fault,

the blaming myself had to come to an end

so I say:

Fuck you Aurora,

You took my only friend

You won't catch me behind the wheel

of a Chrysler ever again

Put it together: (just an example)

G Am

D C G

of a Chrysler ever again

Thoughts:

End on G, or some variation thereof.

For variety, try replacing:

Bm7 with Bm7-II (add 1st string, fifth fret), Bm or D

Am with Am7 or Am7-II (add 1st string, third fret)

...or try mixing up the strumming pattern. You know the

drill.

Enjoy! This is a great song.
