Portland Is Leaving Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Rocky Votolato
blahblahblah

A                   C#m
 Come along with me now 'cause there are
D                         A
Things I've been dying to tell you
A               E
The best or the worst things that you
Bm              A
Never needed to know
A                   C#m
This is the kind of comedy where no one's
D                    A
Laughing 'cause it's hard to...
A                      E
I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk with my
Bm               D
Fist in a broken mirror...

          A
There's a party near by
E      Bm
 I can hear
A               E               Bm        D
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
A                 E                Bm      Dm
Sounds too simple, but love is the only answer
C#m               Bm
Everything else is just a train-wreck

A C#m D A
A E Bm A

A             C#m             D                     A
Gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life
A                     E            Bm                A
Till the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined
A                        C#m                 D       A
You might ask me "Aren't you dead inside and so damn tired?"
A                E               Bm             D
I say i have no idea but I'm not sleeping until after the
  A          E      Bm
dying is over I can hear
A               E               Bm        D
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
A                 E                Bm      Dm
Sounds too simple, but love is the only answer
C#m                  Bm
Love's a trainwreck, you're a mistake

A C#m D A
A E Bm A
A C#m D A
A E Bm Bm
Dm Dm C#m Bm
A

Sometimes it's more convenient to play the barre chord than the open chord.
Also, at the end of the lines in the verses, he likes to play the C# (note, not chord) 
the A chord (second fret on the b string if you're playing an open A chord or sixth fret 
the g string if you're playing the barre chord.
If this doesn't make sense, disregard it.
