G5 A5 B5
So the chemistry's set, 
and I'm not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word. 
For the gang in the head  
that dwindles 'til no members won. 
The mystery's met the sky, looks threatened, 
heading home in the dust 
singing 'Life Is Forgetting', good enough for the frivilous. 

G5                   A5 
If there's one thing I remember is 
G5           A5 
this tear on your bare shoulder, 
G5                 A5 
this little silver boulder, 
            B5 
this slowly falling star. 
G5 
We're rolling, so what? 
A5                            G5                    A5 
Never getting older where the moon-shocked curtains part. 
G5 
The start of enough, 
  A5                    B5 
a teardropped in a Vaccination Scar. 


B5 
I'll tell ya if I'm able, that is, 

I'll tell ya like it is 
G5 A5 
It went down like a bad card table, like 
A G 
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, 
A G 
like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. 

B5 

G5 A5 B5
Swimming on a bit, 
"stop, you're treading water" as the sun assimilated the words. 
For lighthouse fire burning down to ember's end. 
The mystery met sky just reddened, 
heading home under dusk. 
G5                       A5                    G5
Is life just for getting another word for frivilous? 
A5                     G5           A5
Little silver boulder, silence from Mars.
                 G5  
For the heart of enough 
     A5                    B5 
or a teardrop, then a Vaccination Scar. 
B5 B5 G5 A5 
Wherever you are, 
scar.
