[Verse 1]
[Am]When I was young and [G]stupid my love
[F]Left to be a rock and roll [E]star
[Am]He told me, "Ple[G]ase don't worry"
[F]Wise little smile that spoke so safe[E]ly
[Am]He booked a one [G]way ticket
[F]Out west, that's where they'd make it[E]
[Am]Six kids stuck in a [G]bedsit
[F]To sunswept poolside riches[E]

Curled up [G]in a [F]grip when we were [E]us
Fingers in a [Am]fist like you might run
I settle [G]for a [F]ghost I never [E]knew
Superpara[Am]dise I held on to
But I settle [G]for a [E]ghost[E][F][E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Where I was from in [G]NOLA no one
[F]Left to be a rock and roll [E]star
[Am]He'd stay and trea[G]t his lady
[F]Give everything to his new ba[E]by
[Am]I miss him, don'[G]t you blame me
[F]That boy went stone cold crazy[E]
[Am]Caught up in camer[G]a lust he's
[F]Chasing that pappy pipe dre[E]am

My thunder shook him down
[F]My thunder cam[E]e and shook him dow[F]n
That girl is [G]gone but I
[E]That girl is gone but I still try[F]
I think it's [G]over now
[E]The bullet hit but maybe not[F]
