Amanda Palmer - Massachusetts Avenue Chords

A             G                 D
Every time I walk along this street, I think of you
     A              G             D
And given it's the city's major thoroughfare, I'm screwed
 A           G             D
Taking an alternative's a little hard to do
G                  D
It's the street I live on
       E          A


  A                     G                   D
There's the crosswalk where a milk truck almost ran me down
     A             G                D
The day I finally saw you when you got back into town
   A                 G                D
I don't know if you saw me, 'cause I turned so quick around
 G            D               E           A
Hiding into traffic, clearly dying to be found


    A             G            D
Do you remember crying in the park and shutting up?
    A            G               D
Do you remember running and me trying to catch up?
    A            G               D
Do you remember loving me more than I could be loved?
    G                D                 E                A
I chased you for so long, and when I caught you, I gave up
  A               G             D
There's no other way to get to work
  A               G                  D
After all these years, it just gets worse
 A           G                D
Memories so dull and well-rehearsed


  A                G              D
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
  A                G            D
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
 A              G              D
You don't have go home in a straight line
 A                G        D
You don't have to go back home at all


  A          G                 D
There's the cemetery where I broke your heart in two
      A          G                           D
And there's the pair of stones that we had laughed was me and you
    A               G               D
I stared at them a long time, and I asked if it was true
   G               D
If I still really loved you
          E
And they answered
        A
Yes, I do


 A    G    D

(I do)

 A    G    D


 A               G                  D
People come and go, but these four lanes will never move
 A                G               D
Little peach and exes' Jeeps eventually die, too
 A           G                 D
Even if the russians came and named it something new
G                D               E          A
It would always look like Massachusetts Avenue


  A                G              D

You don't need to be alone at all
