[Intro]
Em - Am - D - G F# (x2)
[Verse]
Em Am
a small riot in a passenger van
D G
seems you traveled a long way to get laid
F#
and get the glass in your hand
E Am
a new fixture, a lease on the street
D G
how's it feel to be watched when you sit
F#
with the drunks in the cheap seats
E Am
so come early it's the first of the month
D
taking only beginners
G F#
ten below and it feels like a punch in the
E
jaw
Am
there's so many to chase
D G
if i get out in front, they won't bother
F# C
with the look on their face
two days from the southern state
Em
who knows how long the ocean breaks for you
D Em
so drown in the way things used to be
C
and hell waits on the sober dates
Em
for the young skinny pale by the summer lake,
D
talking fast
C
to avoid the begging questions, they can wait
[Verse]
Em Am
sole witness never taking the stand
D G
one hour to listen but seven nights to sleep
F# E
with the band
Am
will you lie if you can't get along with the
D
east village boys
G F# Em
as they lean back and inhale the smog
Am
shoot straight with a crooked stare ㅤ D
and stay out with the girls who put all the
G
bright colors in their hair
F# Em
do they talk
Am
so little do they care
Dㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ G
is this what you came for, or the late
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤF#ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
night's going nowhere
C
20 years and you can't relate
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤE
to the d-street girls who don't cooperate
D
with the elder state trying hard to teach
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤEm
them a lesson
C
when the wind and the water and the winter waste
Em
make you shake like a newborn in a nurse’s face
D
and the neighbors
have escaped with all the heat
C
you can stay with me
[Chorus]
G Em
you came around
C Am
drank the bottom from this town
G D C
saying this will bring us together
G Em
you came around
C Am
f**ked with all the boys in town
G D ㅤㅤㅤC
saying we can live forever
[Instrumental]
Em - Am - D - G F# (x4)
[Verse]
Em Am
young able and socially tight
D
she had one foot out the door
G F# ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤEm
and two boys for the rest of the night
Am
ten minutes tipping in her seat
D
for someone to take the offer
G F#ㅤㅤㅤㅤ Em
or a brawl to break out in the backstreets
Am
so come early second day of the week
D
and you'll get a straight answer from the
G
poets
F# Em
making out with the deadbeats
Am
so Lord knows what you're doing here
D
but if you sail through the winter
G F# ㅤㅤㅤㅤ C
you'll be hammered for the rest of the year
too f**king old to make so many mistakes
Em
you were f**king so young, you didn't know what to take
D
from your family and friends and they won't
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤEm
return your phone calls
C
street lights call a different race,
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤEm
mixing vodka and wine in a cigarette case
D
how many times can I pray for the morning after, amen
[Chorus]
G Em
you came around
C Am
drank the bottom from this town
G D ㅤㅤㅤㅤ C
saying this will bring us together
G Em
you came around
C Am
f**ked with all the boys in town
G D ㅤㅤㅤㅤC
saying we can live forever
G Em
you came around
C Am
drank the bottom from this town
G D ㅤㅤㅤㅤ C
saying this will bring us together
G ㅤㅤㅤㅤ Em
and you came around
C Am
f**ked with all the boys in town
G D ㅤㅤㅤㅤC
saying we can live forever
[Outro]
