EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER FALLS APART

M-m, Paraphernalia
F7 Cm7/F |Bb
Never hides your broken bones
B | Bb A
And I don't know why
|E |
You want to try
A Am Em F#m |E A E7|
Mm, It's plain to see you're on your own
Dm7 Cmaj7 Em7 |Am Em
Uh, huh, I ain't blind, no
D/F |Dm/F
Some folks are crazy
Dm7 |G7 |C7
Others walk that borderline
Watch what you're doing
|Fm7 |Cadd9
Taking downs to get off to sleep
|F7 Cm7/F |Bb
And ups to start you on your way
B | Bb A |E |
After a while they'll change your style
E7 A Am Em F#m |E A E7|
M-m-m, I see it happening every day
Dm7 Cmaj7 Em7 |A E
Uh, huh spare your heart
D/F |Dm/F
Everything put together
Dm7 |G7 |C7
Sooner or later falls apart
|
There's nothing to it, nothing to it
|Fm7
You can cry
|C
You can lie
|F7 Cm7/F
For all the good it'll do you
|Bb
You can die
B |
But when it's done
Bb A |E |
And the police come, and they lay you down for dead
E7 A Am |Em F#m |E |E7 A Am Em F#m7 E|
Uh, huh, just remember what I said
