Gm                  C
Born in the year of OxyContin
 Gm                  C
Raised in the tall grass
Gm                       C                   Gm        C
Teen millionaire having nightmares from the camera flash

Gm                  C
Now I'm alone on a windswept island
Gm                       C
Caught in the complex divorce of the seasons
Gm                               C            Gm  C
Won't take the call if it's the label or the radio
Gm C Gm C
Ahh
Gm C Gm C
Ahh

Gm                    C
Arm in a cast at the museum gala
Gm                        C
Fork in my purse to take home to my mother
A#               F                          C

You need someone to take your pain for you?
                  C
Well, that's not me
             A#              F
'Cause we're all broken and sad
                              Dm
Where are the dreams that we had?
                               C
Can't find the dreams that we had
A#  Dm  C
Ah, ah, ah

I just hope the sun will show us the path
    F          C
Savior is not me
                                      A#
I just hope the sun will show us the path
  F    C
Path, path
