Capo on 5th fret
               
 
 
Intro: G Em D C D E
 
          Em 
We run into a dark room 
                     D 
And we spasm to the sounds 
          C 
Of a copy Morrissey 
                 D 
Or the blues of the Deep South. 
 
                        Em 
And the drugs will only hide it 
                         D 
The feeling never really goes 
                      C 
You won't find love at the bottom 
             D 
Of a Class C hole. 
 
         Am                                    C 
And you don't know what you've got until it's gone. 
        Em                                  C 
And you don't know who to love until you're lost. 
        Em                                 D        C 
And you don't know how to feel until the moment's passed. 
   Em                          G           Em 
I wish you'd live like you're made of glass. 
 
Em D C D 
 
                        Em 
We've got work in the morning 
                  D 
But it's nearly 5am. 
                        C 
Is this really what we envisaged? 
                 D 
We won't be 21 again. 
 
                           Em 
And in the haze you see colours 
                          D 
And problems suddenly make sense. 
                         C 
But the way you've been going 
                        D 
You'll be in an early grave. 
 
         Am                                        D 
And you don't know what you've got until it's gone. 
                              G               C 
And you don't know who to love until you're lost. 
          D                               G         C 
And you don't know how to feel until the moment's passed. 
         Em                                   
I wish you'd live like you're made of glass.
