60 And Punk

Ab   Eb   Bb

[Verse 1]
Ab              Eb               Bb        Ab
There's nothing funny about just slipping away
             Eb               Bb              Ab
It's nothing funny how you're spending your days
           Eb              Bb       Cm   F
But you're laughing like a kid at a carnival

Ab            Eb                     Bb     Ab
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town
             Eb             Bb       Ab
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
          Eb              Bb        Cm
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
                  F                       Ab
For something you can't remember what was about


[Chorus]
Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore


[Verse 2]
Ab        Eb               Bb         Ab
I used to watch you on the late night scene
           Eb          Bb    Ab
The timely rescue of a metal teen
    Eb                     Bb         Cm
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
                  F
And that hadn't occurred to me

Ab     Eb            Bb  Ab
When I met you I was 22
       Eb         Bb      Ab
Trying so hard to play it cool
              Eb             Bb        Cm
But there was so much that I needed to say
                 F             Ab
And nothing came out the right way


[Chorus]
Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore

Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore


[Verse 3]
Ab              Eb         Bb      Ab
There's nothing elegant in being a drunk
             Eb              Bb        Ab
It's nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
                Eb             Bb            Cm
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see
                  F
That kid that you used to be?

Ab        Eb           Bb      Ab
Broke and working in a record store
   Eb                 Bb       Ab
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
         Eb      Bb            Cm
Were you happier when you were poor?
         F                     Ab
Were you happier when you were poor?


[Chorus]
Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore

Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore
