Em Bm
An eight ball
C
And two and all
Em
Is how I measure the length that I must go
Bm C Em
To outrun you standing still
Bm
A soft flight
C
And such delight
Em
A nervous gesture that dropped me to my knees
Bm C Em - Bm - C
Now I wonder where you are tonight
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
A hard fall
C
And through it all
Em
I never felt so callous
Bm
A cut sleeve
C
And to believe
Em - Bm - C
And once again I walked home alone
[Chorus]
G D C
This old world counts for nothing
G
I did all I could do
D C
Now I won't accept your blessing
Am
On this, our final night
C
Won't live to see the light
D
Of morning
[Solo]
Em - Bm - C x2
[Verse 3]
Em Bm C
So I cling to apron strings
Em
As I recall my father's dying words
Bm C Em
"Some girls are sweet, some girls are wicked"
Bm C
From this tree comes ill-bred seed
Em
An ugly cloister of flat foot bookish boys
Bm C
Who'd as soon kick you as kiss you
[Chorus]
G D C
This old world counts for nothing
G
I did all I could do
D C
Now I won't accept your blessing
Am
On this, our final night
C
Won't live to see the light
D
Of morning
[Solo]
Em - Bm - C x2
[Outro]
Em Bm
An eight ball
C
And two and all
Em
Is how I measure the length that I must go
Bm C Em
To outrun you standing still
