VERS:A G F G (2x)

I can recall the warm
youth of a summer day,
the sweetest lemonade,
the darkest game arcade,
and billy had a yearning
in the corner of his mind,
it moved him secretly,
it moved him powerfully,

      F              C               G              A
but prescience was lacking and the present was not all,
          F                C        G
and his aptitudes were carelessly wasted,
      F          C              G           A
and challenging life with the abandon of a fool
      F            G            A
he squandered the hours of his day

PLAY THE INTRO AGAIN

then darkness and disorder slapped him sharply in the face,
it hit him like a friend struck something deep within,
he couldn't break the chain of slow decay
that seemed to drag him just like a fatal tie toward the other side

and billy was a lunatic
just barking at the moon
and his brain was totally wasted,
he then exchanged his friends for a needle and a spoon
and he through his future away

E                   G                E  G
bolt the door and throw away the key
E                       G                  E  G AGCBAG
your dim reflection is all that you can see,

so where is the justice when no one is at fault,
and a human life is tragically wasted?
how fragile is the flame that
burns within us all to light each passing day?
