The Wonder Years - The Paris Of Nowhere Chords

[Verse 1]
               E                   B
We're building shrines to St. Nick Foles
       A
In the windows, in the living rooms
             E              B
I'm playing "Dancing with a Ghost"
       A
In the soft light of the afternoon
    C#m          B                A
I'm alone in the house where your sister died
 
               E                   B
We're building shrines to St. Nick Foles
       A
In the churches, in the alleyways
              E         B
I watched the river overflow
           A
From the Schuylkill in the pouring rain
    C#m          B                A
I'm alone in the house where your sister died
      C#m             B            A
On the block that you lived your entire life
 
[Pre-chorus]
               B            C#m             A
And I take the same train I did at nineteen
                 B             C#m               A
We danced on the benches in an empty Market East
 
[Chorus]
                  E         F#m
Throw me into the Delaware
    A
And leave me down at the bottom there
    E                B/D#
The black lung of the East Coast
    D        A
The Paris of nowhere
         E        F#m
Into the Delaware
     A
And leave me down at the bottom there
F#m
Desperate, kind, and cut-throat
    A
The Paris of nowhere
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
E B A
  (Paris of nowhere)
 
C#m B A
 
[Verse 2]
               E              B
We're planting gardens in the potholes
     A
When no one comes to fill them in
              E            B
I'll love you when nobody else will
     A
All shoulder chips and paper skin
        C#m           B        A
You're a kid swinging off of a traffic light
        C#m           B        A
You're a block party outside a junkyard fire
 
 
[Chorus]
                  E         F#m
Throw me into the Delaware
    A
And leave me down at the bottom there
    E                 B/D#
The black lung of the East Coast
    D        A
The Paris of nowhere
         E        F#m
Into the Delaware
     A
And leave me down at the bottom there
F#m
Desperate, kind, and cut-throat
    A
The Paris of nowhere
 
[Bridge]
D                       A                             E
Two feet of snow on the ground, and it's still coming down
                           F#m
(So I'm gonna dig you out, I'm gonna dig you out)
D                      A                      B
It must get lonely without Colleen and Cheryl around
                     E  B/D#
(I'm gonna dig you out, I'm gonna dig you out)
D                        A                              E
Still got the flowers we found taped to the door of our house
                        F#m
(I'm gonna dig you out, I'm gonna dig you out)
D
You were always looking out
 
[Chorus]
                  E         F#m
Throw me into the Delaware
    A
And leave me down at the bottom there
    E                B/D#
The black lung of the East Coast
    D        A
The Paris of nowhere
         E        F#m
Into the Delaware
     A
And leave me down at the bottom there
F#m
Desperate, kind, and cut-throat
    A
The Paris of nowhere
 
[Outro]
E  B/D# D A
   The Paris of nowhere
E  B/D# D A
   The Paris of nowhere
