be heart- brok- en? On top of all the...
[ G ]
1. Looking like a born-again,
Living like a heretic,
[ Cadd2 ]
Listening to Arthur Lee records,
Making all your friends feel so guilty about their cynicism [ G ]
And the rest of their generation
[ Cadd2 ]
Not even the Government is gonna stop you now
[ D ] [ Cadd2 ]
But are you ready to be heartbroken?
[ D ] [ Cadd2]
Are you ready to be heartbroken?
[ G ]>
2. On top of all the vitamins
On account of all the seriousness
[ Cadd2 ]
You say you're so happy now
You can hardly stand
[ G ]
Lean over on the bookcase
If you really want to get straight
[ Cadd2]
Read Norman Mailer
Or get a new tailor
[ D ] [ Cadd2 ]
Are you ready to be heartbroken?
[ D ] [ Cadd2 ]
Are you ready to be heartbroken?
[ G ]
Are you ready to bleed?
[ Cadd2 ]
B. What would it take? [ Fadd9 ]
What would it take to wipe that smile off of your face?
[ Cadd2 ]
Are you ready to be?
[ G ]
Are you ready to bleed?
[Instrumental to fade]
