[Intro] D ... [Verse] D Starting up Your Chevrolet to packed crowds Back in the heyday D Backfires, like the bravado You did your best to downplay D G Your mistakes are sitting centre stage Em A Just like you made them.... D The American way
G All of your mistakes Em Are sitting centre stage A Just like you made them [Refrain] G A With only the seasons keeping time D G Who do you wanna be there by your side? Em A Burning up beacon, casting light D Em Over the empty seats night after night G Solo, a dying star Wants to dance over again A B7 Perfected steps were so big back then [Chorus] Em A (Ain't nobody singing along) Ain't nobody singing along Em A (Ain't no one remember that song)
No one remembers that song Em A Holding on to diminishing dawn [Verse] D Laying down All you do is clown around In bed with your lady D Pair of die, roll 'em on a rent a night Throw it all on layaway D G Your mistakes are sitting centre stage Em A Just like you made them... D The American way G Em All of your mistakes are sitting centre stage A Just like you made them [Refrain] G A With only the seasons keeping time D G Who do you wanna be there by your side? Em A Burning up beacon, casting light D Em Over the empty seats night after night G Solo, a dying star wants to dance over again A B7 Perfected steps were so big back then [Chorus] Em A (Ain't nobody singing along) Ain't nobody singing along Em A (Ain't no one remember that song) No one remembers that song
Em A Holding on to diminishing dawn [Instrumental] Em A Em A B7 ................. G A G A ........... [Post-Chorus] G A Solo, a dying star... G Solo, a dying star wants to dance over again A B7 Perfected steps were so big back then [Chorus] Em A (Ain't nobody singing along) No one remembers that song Em A (Ain't no one remember that song) Em A Barely holding on (holding on) to diminishing dawn [Interlude] D ........... [Bridge] D Rollercoaster, coming down Em Wonderland is hitting the ground D Letter Z, pocket size Em You're winning but you don't realise G A You arrive at the fight Em Want a piece of me? D Come get your slice of life There she is, paradise Em You could stay a while but it wouldn't suffice D Yeah you know, she's real nice m By now you've been there too many times G A You arrive at the fight Em Want a piece of me? A In spite of yourself G A Feel the pressure, but why? Em Wanna be something? A G E/G# Come get your slice of life.......... [Pre-Chorus] G A Em A ..The more you want, the more you miss, the more you wish that you had it... G A Em A ..But when it all falls down around you, will you see how it happened?....

(But when it all falls down around you, will you see how it happened?)
