THE SONG:
[INTRO]
[RIFF1]
[RIFF2]
E F#m A
We could write our names here in the mud
B
No one's around to see them
E F#m A
We could hang our shoes here in a tree
B
No one's around to steal them
E F#m A
I could give you a star, you could give me one too
B
That way we'd be even
E F#m A
And I could sing this song way out of tune
B
And not care a bit about it
[RIFF2]
E F#m A
We could both wear cowboy hats, and pretend
B
that we could speak Italian
E F#m A
I could eat some gum, and make my breath
B(W/ RIFF3)
so minty fresh to kiss you
E F#m A
Your breath will smell like wine, I like that a lot
B
Especially when I kiss you
E F#m A
And I could hit my funny bone real hard
B
And you could call me sweatheart
F#m A E B
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
A(w/ RIFF4) B
Never thought much about individuals
But he's dead anyways
E F#m A B
Lets go down together, down together, let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together
Yeah let's go
[RIFF1]
[RIFF2]
E F#m A
We could all wear ripped up clothes and pretend
B
that we're Dead Hot Workshop
E F#m A
I could drive a long long way and not even have
B(w/ RIFF5)
the gas to make it back
E F#m A
We could chase our shadows around the lawn
B
Until we're both exhausted
E F#m A
'N I could forget the words here one more time
B
and hope that no one notices
F#m A E B
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
A (w/ RIFF4) B
Never thought much about me
E C#m
Yeah, well what's good for you is good for me
A B
And what's bad for you is bad for me
E C#m
And what's good for you is good for me
A B
And what's bad for you is bad for me
A
Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too,
so let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together, let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together let's go
E F#m A B
down together, down together, down together
Yeah let's go
[RIFF1]
[RIFF2]
[SOLO]
E F#m A
We could find a speck of dust and scribble down
B [ENDING]
our life story
