Quit too late you're gonna die too soon

Woman with a needle and a silver spoon

Holed up singin' the devil's tune
C D
Playin' the blues, payin' your dues
G D/F# Em
Speedin' your young life away

I never will get over what I heard about you

The first thing New Year's Day
I can't say I felt so sad
The truth is I think I'm mad
At the selfish way you left your dad
When you know what a hard luck time he's had
Sleepin' through a dream come true
You just threw all that talent away
I never will get over what I heard about you
The first thing New Year's Day

Ooooo hoooooo

Slippin' away

New Year's Day
I threw the phone against the wall
Falling apart when I got the call
I went out walkin' with the weight of it all
That's when it hit me like a waterfall
I'm playin' the blues, payin' my dues
Speedin' my young life away
I never will get over what I heard about you
The first thing New Year's Day
Ooooo hoooooo
Slippin' away
Ooooo hoooooo
New Year's Day

Quit too late, you died too soon
To the bitter end tried and true
Goodbye old friend
We'll be missing you
