[Verse 1]
G
So the chemistry's set,
A
and I'm not the saddest cheerleader
Bm
to for-get the American word.
G
For the gang in the head
A Bm
that dwindles 'til no members when
G
The mystery's met,
A
the sky looks threatened
Bm
heading home in the dust,
G
singing 'Life Is Forgettin',
A Bm
good enough for the frivilous.
[Slide Interlude]
Bm Bm
[Chorus]
G A
There's one thing I remember is
G A
this tear on your bare shoulder,
G A
this little silver boulder,
Bm
this slowly falling star.
G
We're rolling, so what?
A Bm A
Never getting older where the moon-shocked curtains part.
G
The start of e-nough,
A Bm
a tear dropped in a vacci-nation scar.
[Bridge]
G A Bm
I'll tell ya if I'm able, that is,
Bm
I'll tell ya like it is.
G A A G
He went down like a bad card table, like
G A G
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge,
Bm
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge,
[Verse 2]
G
Swimming on a bit,
A Bm
"stop, you're treading water" as the sun assimilated the words.
G
For lighthouse fire
A Bm
burning down to ember's end.
G
The mystery met
A
sky just reddened,
Bm
heading home under dusk.
G A G
Is life just forgettin' another word for frivilous?
A G A
Little silver boulder, silence from Mars.
A G
For the heart of enough
A Bm G A
or a teardrop in a Vaccination Scar.
Bm Bm G A Bm Bm
Wherever you are, scar
