The Gaslight Anthem - The Spirit Of Jazz Chords

Intro: A, D, A, F#m, D (x2)

    A
The cool is dead, baby go on and sleep
D
Rest your weary head and lover, bury me
A
And in the morning we'll start over again
       F#m                       D
That's how they do it up on the screen
    A
See, me and my baby, we would dance all night
    D
But I don't know the steps in my baby's time
    A
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown
  F#m                               D
I heard they light them up like the blues
       F#m             D
So I'm waiting (So I'm waiting)
          F#m                D
And she's waiting (And she's waiting)
          E
For us to remember

      F#m     D         A          D
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
     F#m                D
Not another soul could love you
         A           E
Like my rotten bones do
    F#m    D           A         E
So I will wait on the edges in between
      D         E
These New York streets
                       A
Where you and I would meet

A, D, A, D, F#m

A
For twenty nine years we loved that line
    D
And I would take it easy if I had your mind
     A
But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire
     F#m                     D
And you're slow like Motown soul
    A
So what now lover with your long black hair
   D
If I cut you open, baby I can repair
    A
And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
    F#m                    D
And I'm the only one round here
         F#m             D
And I'm waiting (And I'm waiting)
           F#m                D
And she's waiting (And she's waiting)
           E
For us to recover

      F#m     D         A          D
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
     F#m                D
Not another soul could love you
         A           E
Like my rotten bones do
    F#m    D           A         E
So I will wait on the edges in between
      D         E
These New York streets
                       A
Where you and I would meet

         F#m D      A         E
And only I-I-I can heal your wounds
     F#m D      A         E
Only I-I-I can heal your wounds
          F#m      D
When you can't go on
          A       E
When you can't go on
          F#m      D
When you can't go on
     E          F#m
Any more, hold on

      F#m      D        A          E
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
     F#m                D
Not another soul could love you
         A E
Like my-
       F#m     D        A          E
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
     F#m                D
Not another soul could love you  
         A           E 
Like my rotten bones do
   F#m     D           A          E
So I will wait on the edges in between
   F#m     D           A          E
And I will wait on the edges in between
   F#m     D           A          E
And I will wait on the edges in between
      D          E
These New York streets
              F#m      E
On all these New York streets
                       A
Where you and I would meet
