G#              D#               A#        G#
There's nothing funny about just slipping away
             D#                A#            G#
It's nothing funny how you're spending your days
            D#              A#       Cm   Fm
But you're laughing like a kid at a carnival

G#             D#                    A#    G#
I watched you stumbling around this dusty town
             D#             A#       G#
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
          D#              A#        Cm
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
                   Fm                      G#
For something you can't remember what was about

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

I used to watch you on the late night scene
The timely rescue of a metal teen
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
And that hadn't occurred to me

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

Chorus - x2

There's nothing elegant in being a drunk
It's nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see
That kid that you used to be?
Broke and working in a record store
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
Were you happier when you were poor?
Were you happier when you were poor?

Chorus - x2
