BYou climb six lFonely sad Astairs to your Eapartment
After Eanother graveyard F#mshift in the Gcold dull light of F#mmorning.
BYou walked in Bbjust in time toG catch her as she's F#mleaving
But the sEchedules and the F#mconflicts kept the Groof over our Fheads.
You Esaid you were sF#mtrong and naive and
BIf you were Fscared, well, I would Eunderstand.
I don't think I would have Bhad the guts to F#mhandle it.
BAll we F#mhad were hEand-me-downs. F#m
BAnd all we F#mhad was Egood will F#m
And you Galways Asaid it would get Ebetter.
"When you're young and you're Bpoor, they hang on your F#mfailures."
And you Galways Asaid it would get Ebetter.

BWe bought our F#mfirst house at the Gadvent of the F#m90s
A ECape Cod on a F#mbusy street that we Gswore we'd fix F#meventually.
BWinter of F#m'93, Gwe got by with F#mkerosene
A Eheater in the lF#miving room, we Ghuddled around F#mshivering and me E
F#mTrying to get to Bsleep.
My Fclothes will smell of sEmoke for weeks.
Just trying to get to Bsleep.
BTo sleep,
To F#msleep...
BAll we F#mhad were hEand-me-downs. F#m
BAnd all we F#mhad was Egood will F#m
And you Galways Asaid it would get Ebetter.
"When you're young and you're Bpoor, they hang on your F#mfailures."
And you Galways Asaid it would get Ebetter.
I'm sick of seeing Bghosts. I won't be here Fforever.
My Emother wore a sundress on the day that she got married.F
EThey held the wedding in a backyard near the city.F
EI was just one then, I would never remember it
FBut I Eheard the voices and implications
GTelling me who I couldF#m never be.
BAll we Fhad were Ehand-me-downsB.
EAnd Ball we Fhad was Bgood will. F
BAll we F#mhad were hEand-me-downs. F#m
BAnd all we F#mhad was Egood will F#m
And you Galways Asaid it would get Ebetter.
"When you're young and you're Bpoor, they hang on your F#mfailures."
And you Galways Asaid it would get Bbetter.E F
