Standard (EADGBE)

She drinks her jack and coke, medicated since twelve years old and

She’s got a job as a hostess at the red robin, she hates it.

She’s always wanted to work in fashion, dresses funny to test reactions

Defines faking the red one hundred cigarette box

  she says they calm her down

I guess we take our chances

Graveyards and high school dances

I’ve got so much live to live but that’s all we’ve got

No that can’t be all we’ve got

  Emily Love is waiting for your soul

  Emily Life is watching as we go

  Emily If I can help along the road,

  Emily please let me know

  never let you go

  La la la la la laa laa la la

La la la la laa laa la la

La la la la laa laa la la laaa

She’s driving to the fairground she says

  come on have a little more faith now

  And I don’t know if I’ve got it in me

  but I think I’ll try if you think it’ll help

I guess she’s leaving California

it’s going to be different here without her

  But I say just think about the things you love about home

  like the way the sun hits your face on the coast

  I guess we take our chances

Graveyards and high school dances

I’ve got so much live to live but that’s all we’ve got

No that can’t be all we’ve got

  Emily Love is waiting for your soul

  Emily Life is watching as we go

  Emily If I can help along the road,

  Emily please let me know

  never let you go

  The movies and the magazines, the paying the rent at age eighteen

  The greatest thing you’ve ever seen

  in your whole live in your whole live

but you got so much life

  so please don’t waste your life

  Emily Love is waiting for your soul

  Emily Life is watching as we go

  Emily If I can help along the road,

  Emily please let me know

never let you go

  Emily Love is waiting for your soul

  Emily Life is watching as we go

  Emily If I can help along the road,

  Emily please let me know

lovely song, innit?
