 VERS:A G F G (2x)
 
 I can recall the warm 
 youth of a summer day,
 the sweetest lemonade,
 the darkest game arcade,
 and billy had a yearning
 in the corner of his mind,
 it moved him secretly,
 it moved him powerfully,
 
 F C G A
 but prescience was lacking and the present was not all,
 F C G
 and his aptitudes were carelessly wasted,
 F C G A
 and challenging life with the abandon of a fool
 F G A
 he squandered the hours of his day
 
 PLAY THE INTRO AGAIN
 
 then darkness and disorder slapped him sharply in the face,
 it hit him like a friend struck something deep within,
 he couldn't break the chain of slow decay
 that seemed to drag him just like a fatal tie toward the other side
 
 and billy was a lunatic
 just barking at the moon
 and his brain was totally wasted,
 he then exchanged his friends for a needle and a spoon
 and he through his future away
 
 E G E G
 bolt the door and throw away the key
 E G E G AGCBAG
 your dim reflection is all that you can see,
 
 so where is the justice when no one is at fault,
 and a human life is tragically wasted?
 how fragile is the flame that
 burns within us all to light each passing day?
