I had a sugar-coated childhood
Fm
The stars were in my soul
C#
But given the opportunity
Fm
I’d start over and change it all

Think the way she does

She always said
Fm C#
"Don’t waste your life wishing everything was how it was"

I was in a moment for a moment
Then I wasn’t

I was sixteen years old in a dead guy’s boots
Fm
With my hair slicked to the side
C#
Sitting outside the Jockey Club

Crying in my 7-up
C#
I could hear Husker Du and The Smiths
Fm C#
The Sluggos, The Cramps go bup bup bup bup inside
Fm C# Fm
Paul is alive
