FAmGC With a heart-attack on your plane
AmGAmF You were looking back on your days
FAmGC How you spent them all in a blur
AmGAmF When they asked if you were for sure
 
FAmGC Let the sugar melt down your throat
AmGAmF Cos you know it's sweet getting old
FAm GC With a lollipop and a rose
AmG AmF Let the hospital be your home
 
GAmCF Cos your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
GAmCF Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast
 
FAmGC In the liner notes at the end
AmGAmF Some familiar names in tiny print
FAmGC On the cover page of the year
AmGAmF Grainy photographs, greasy hair
 
GAmCF But it's noon o'clock and you're still asleep
GAmCF And your coffee's cold, your coffee's icy
GAmCF Cos your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
GAmCF Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast
 
F x3
C x3 Cos facts are facts (?)
FAm GC Classic Hollywood as a kid
AmGAmF With the volume up all the way
FAmGC Now you do the same and you're right
AmGAmF Things are better in black and white
 
GAmCF But there's another girl in another day
GAmCF And your favourite foods still taste the same
 
GAmCF Cos your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
GAmCF Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast
GAmCF We're the best and the brightest, turn the television on
GAmCF Have your seatbelts strapped and your helmets on!
 
G Am C F x2
