Dshe looked just like a train wreck

     Gthat could've been avoided

     Din a third world country

     Bmby a long stretch of farmland

          Gwhere the waters have run high

        Emrun the topsoil down the river

        D                                Aso that next year there'll be no crops


she was as desperate as a salesman
at a company that's folding
but they haven't told the staff yet
they're bankrupt and back-ordered
and they're funneling the pensions
to the CEO's back pockets
so in one week they'll have nothing

Verse:
            Dshe was the girl from central casting
         Galways played the sweet young orphan
         Dor the hooker with the heart of gold
Bmbut she got her SAG card pulled
           Gturns tricks down on Cahuenga
   Em                                      Dshe tells herself it's research for her next
             Agreatest role

Chorus:
Gmiss your light
              Dyour eager eyes
         Bmgood luck, love
        F#or goodbye
   Ggoodbye

The last two measures of the chorus (G A Bm A) are played twice

(Guitar 2 is transcribed without a capo).

  throughout the ending.

     G           A              Bm          A||------2--2--------0--0-----|---------------------||||---3--------3--2--------2--|-----3--3-----2------||||*--------------------------|--4--------4--2--2--*||||*--------------------------|--------------------*||||---------------------------|---------------------||||---------------------------|---------------------||

Live Variations:

The way Glen plays this live now is pretty much like it is on the
demo, except without the extended ending. (and of course, without
the band). One thing that he does is he usually replaces the first
G chord in the chorus with a Gadd9 (32023x)... He also plays the
last three measures of the chorus a little more elaborately:

   F#(add4)          G(maj7)  A     G/B           A/C#|-----------------|-----2--------|---------------------------||-----------0--2--|-----0--------|----------3----------2-----||-----3-----------|--------0--2--|-------------0----------2--||--------4--------|-----------2--|-------0-------------------||-----------------|-----------0--|--0h2-----------2/4--------||--2--------------|--3-----------|---------------------------|


And, not to be excluded, the country version... It's pretty much
the same song, only played on an acoustic with an upbeat strum
pattern... here's the first two measures of the verse, the catchy
guitar part. (The first measure is also the intro).

   D                          G|-----2--------0--2--0--2--|-----3--------5--3--2--0--||-----3--3-----3--3--3--3--|-----3--------3--3--3--3--||-----2-----2--2--2--2--2--|-----0--0-----0--0--0--0--||--0--0--------0--0--0--0--|-----0-----0--0--0--0--0--||--------------------------|-----2--------------------||--------------------------|--3--3--------------------|


The rest of the song follows the same chord progression, with
lots of walking bass notes. The chorus has a nice country rhythm
to it, complete with alternating bass riffs:

   G|------------------------------------------||-----3--3-------3--3-----3--3-------3--3--||-----0--0-------0--0-----0--0-------0--0--||-----0--0-------0--0-----0--0-------0--0--||-----------0h2-----------------0h2--------||--3-------------------3-------------------|


   D|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2--||-----3--3-----3--3-----3--3-----3--3--||-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2--||--0-----------------0-----------------||-----------0-----------------4--------||--------------------------------------|


... and so on.
