Dead End Tab

by Sam Roberts


VERSE 1:

Oh what's wrong with me
 
 Said oh what's wrong with me
 
    I know what I don't want to be

  A dead end on the family tree
      
And I just lost my virginity
                           
 To a girl who won't remember me and I

 Took her out on a shopping spree

Happiness never happened for free

 Could it be that I imagined things
 
       I'm just sad instead of heartbroken
 
    She came home but she's leaving again

   She's coming back but she won't say when

CHORUS:
      
And I don't sing songs anymore
  
I don't feel young anymore
         
And it's hard to conceal
                                    
That these tears that I cry are for real
        
Anymore

VERSE 2 (same chords):
My pop said I should be like him
My mom says I can live with them
I had to ask my little brother to lend me
Change for the bus 'til I see him again
I'm gettin’ drunk every day of the week
My ship sunk but it had no leak
A fortune teller on Bishop Street
She read my hand and the future is bleak
I'm tired of sitting upon the fence
I've got no self confidence
Why don't I have a circle of friends?
I'm so square they don't even pretend

CHORUS
      
And I don't sing songs anymore
  
I don't feel young anymore
         
And it's hard to conceal
                                        
That these tears that I cry are for real
          
Anymore

BRIDGE:
      
                       
   Don't give in, don't give in
        
You can never let them win
                           
   Don't give in, don't give in
          
But I get cold
      
Oh I get cold
      
Every night, night, night
                       
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart
         
Oh I get cold
            
Yeah, I get cold
                  
Every night, night, night
                                    
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart
                           
Oh no

VERSE 3 (same chords):

Oh what's wrong with me
      
 Said oh Lord what's wrong with me
 
    I know what I don't wanna be

   A dead end on the family tree
        
And the train for my salvation
    
Is de-   parting from the station
        
She don't feel like conversation
                  
So I'm talking to myself
         
I got nobody  else
                 
I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes
              
Down from the shelf

CHORUS:
      
And I don't sing songs anymore
  
I don't feel young anymore
         
And it's hard to conceal
                                    
That these tears that I cry are for real
       
Anymore
   
Anymore
