Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Police cars round in circles

 The silence gathering

You never know what's next down here

 Close your eyes and shut your mouth

Chorus

And I know I won't last forever

 If there's nothing left in your heart for me

 Baby, baby, baby, baby

 Too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

The ambulance is singing

 To streetcars in the rain

Like barracuda waiting

 For the guns down in the hood

Chorus

But this ain't no West Side Story

 And the curtains coming down on me

 Baby, baby, baby, baby

 Too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

It's all sound and all fury

 It's all reach and no touch

 It's all life's cold bravado

All grown up and old so fast

Chorus

And I know I won't last forever

 If there's nothing left in your heart for me

 Baby, baby, baby, baby

 Too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

Too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

Na na na na -- we all walk alone
