Walter Reed Tab

by Michael Penn


Hey! I think this is pretty close. Hope you enjoy!

                                        
I count the cases piled up high
                  
For the 1:15.
                                        
For platform and for passerby
                        
It's the same routine.
                                      
I'm ranting while I’m raving,
                                                
There's nothing here worth saving.
                                         
Tell me now, what more do you need?
                               
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
                             
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
                  
Over everything.
                                                
Well there's a few things I gotta say
                                        
And make no mistake, I'm mad…
                                                   
'Cause every good thing I've had
                  
Abandoned me.

                            
All I want to do is hide.
                        
It's graduation day
                                            
And everything I learned inside
                    
Didn't seem to pay.
                            
I've had my fill of palm trees
                           
And lighting up Grauman's Chinese.

                                          
Tell me now, what more do you need?
                  
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
                              
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
                
Over everything
                                           
And there's a few things I gotta say.
                               
Make no mistake, I'm mad.
                                         
'Cause every good thing I had
                   
Abandoned me.
                                 
A sad and lonesome me.

                             
I'm the walking wounded
                                   
And I'd say it to your face
                                 
But I can't find my place.

                                                                       
So tell me now, what more do you need?
                               
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
                              
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
                   
Over everything
                                          
And there's a few things I gotta say.
                             
Make no mistake, I'm mad
                                          
'Cause every good thing I had
                   
Abandoned me.
                                   
A sad and lonesome me.
                                   
A sad and lonesome me.
                                    
A sad and lonesome me.
