[Verse 1](N.C.) (Continue Intro Riff)
Baby, come out
I'll meet you in the street
At the place by the old fire station
We'll get something to eat,
Like we talked about.
[Verse 2]
C Cadd11
Baby, come down
C Cadd11
It's been a while now
C Cadd11
I've got so many things I could tell you,
C F
If my stubborn mouth doesn't let me down.
[Chorus]
Em G Am G F
And I can't look at you straight-on
Em G Am G F
You're made from something different than I know
[Verse 3]
C
I try to slip the marching clock
F
But centipedes invade my thoughts
C F
Without free will I heel and I go
C
I step onto that metal plate,
F
Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains,
C
And I beg those trains to run.
[Chorus]
Em G Am G F
And I can't look at you straight-on
Em G Am G F
You're made from something different than I know
[Bridge]
Am
My eyes are on the sidewalk,
Am/B
It's gum holding your feet
Am/C
I swear under my breath
Am/B
Because I'm starving in your gravity
Em G Am G F
You're made from something different than I know
[Instrumental Solo]
C F C F
[Verse 4]
C
You linger just a little long,
F
I see your gun is drawn with the safety on
C
You can walk me back to my hotel
F
Like it was home.
C
And I smell those fools you made cordwood of
F
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here,
C
in your arms.
F
City swans,
C
Our crook'd necks long
F
City swans
[Chorus]
Em G Am G F
And I can't look at you straight-on
Em G Am G F
You're made from something different than I know
[Bridge]
Am Am/B
And it breaks my heart just like the day,
Am/C Am/B
That I looked down and I realized
F C
I'd been sailing so long I'd become the shore
F
mmmhmmm
C
City swans
F
mmmhmmm
C
Our crook'd necks long
F
City swans
[Outro]
C F

End on C
