(VERSE)
Am G C
Dreams wash down the gutter
G F E
All my hopes in vain
Am G C
Crows up on the rooftop
G F E
Laughing out my name
(CHORUS)
C F C G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
C F C G C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
(VERSE)
We danced all night as life stood by
We told another lie
Found a spot down by the roadside
There I closed my eyes

(CHORUS)
And here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
Am C
All alone, all alone
F C G
Can't find my way home
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(VERSE)
Summer has come and the heat hangs low
No escape in sight
Sirens scream and lovers moan
Just like any other night
(CHORUS)
And here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
All alone, all alone
Can't find my way home
