The Hold Steady - Entitlement Crew Chords

[Intro]
E B E A
(x2)

[Verse]
E                 B
Tequila take off, Tecate landing
E                            A
Sorry about the centerpiece, thanks for understanding
E                             B
Soft salesmen, hard branding. Campari commissions.
E                                      A
I was sitting in the kitchen trying to guess where she was living now
E                              B
Hotel room in Houston with the shades against the sunshine
E                                    A
Or maybe still in Scranton like it's 1999
E                                       B
When I saw her rolling through with the Entitlement Crew
E                                       A
I wasn't all that into it but there was nothing I could do about it

[Verse]
E                    B
Now here's a church, here's the steeple
  E                           A
I like the party favors but I hate the party people
    E                                 B
Got distracted by the chorus when the kids all sang along
E                       A
Moved to the rogue set. I always really liked that song.


[Pre-Chorus]
E                         E/Eb
You like that song too. I know that you do.
          C#m                             B
I saw you mouthing all the words when you didn't know I was watching you
A                            B
Everything is brittle and is breaking apart
     E                             A
Your sister's in Seattle and she's sleeping with the sharks
A                      B
I remember you, still, playing his part



[Chorus]
E                     A
Thanks for listening, thanks for understanding
E                   A
Can't you see how I feel I've been abandoned?
B                    E      A    B
Never got to say goodbye to you
                      E         A
Give my best to the Entitlement Crew

[Verse]
E               B
Tecate landing, tequila takeoff
E               A
Colfax cookout, Pillsbury bakeoff
         E                                B
Too many cracks in the bathroom. Too many kooks in the kitchen.
         E                       A
It would probably be easier if I knew where she was living now


[Pre-Chorus]
  E                          E/Eb
I know you probably feel the same way as I feel
         C#m                              B
Like I'm not sure we can pull off such an intricate deal
    A                           B
Now all of it's killer but it's coming up quick
         E                            A
And your brother's in Boston and he's acting like a dick
A                         B
I remember back before we knew he was sick


[Chorus]
E                     A
Thanks for listening, thanks for understanding
E                   A
Can't you see how I feel I've been abandoned?
B                    E      A    B
Never got to say goodbye to you
                      E         A
Give my best to the Entitlement Crew
E                       A
Just two systems in the dark and people dancing
E                    A
Thanks for listening thanks for understanding
B                  E        A   B
Nodding off to the American Routes
                      E         A
Give my best to the Entitlement Crew
