Coney Island

Intro

G  C  D  Em C
Bm
  Break my soul in two looking for you
            C
But you're right here
D
  If I can't relate to you anymore
                 Em        C
Then who am I related to?
Bm
  And if this is the long haul
             C
How'd we get here so soon?
D
  Did I close my fist around something delicate?
    Em             C
Did I shatter you?
        Em                           C
And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island
                        G
Wondering where did my baby go?
                                        Bm
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
C                        D
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
         Em
Over and over
C
Lost again with no surprises
G/B
Disappointments close your eyes
    Bm                 C
And it gets colder and colder
              D
When the sun goes down
( Em  C )
Bm
  The question pounds my head
                      C
What's a lifetime of achievement
D
  If I pushed you to the edge?
                          Em       C
But you were too polite to leave me
Bm
  Do you miss the rogue
                                 C
Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
D
  Will you forgive my soul
                                      Em              C
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
       Em                                C
'Cause we were like the mall before the internet
               G
It was the one place to be
                                  Bm
The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams
C                           D
Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
         Em
Over and over
C
Lost again with no surprises
G/B
Disappointments close your eyes
    Bm                  C
And it gets colder and colder
              D
When the sun goes down
Em                         C
  Were you waiting at our old spot
In the tree line
       G
By the gold clock
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
Bm                         C
  Were you standing in the hallway
                       D
With a big cake, happy birthday
Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
        Em
The universe waits
            C
And when I got into the accident
    G
The sight that flashed before me was your face
Bm                                     D
  But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name
Em                         C
  I'm on a bench in Coney Island
                        G
Wondering where did my baby go
                                     Bm
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
C                        D
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
         Em
Over and over
C
Lost again with no surprises
G/B
Disappointments close your eyes
    Bm                  C
And it gets colder and colder
              D
When the sun goes down
              Em       C
When the sun goes down
    G
The sight that flashed before me was your face
              Bm      C
When the sun goes down
      D
But I think that I forgot to say your name
         Em   C
Over and over
G
Sorry for not making you my, making you my
Bm             C       D
  Making you my centerfold
