The Arrogance Of The Drunk Pedestrian Chords

(ver. 1)
The Smith Street Band
(Intro) D Bm A

D                            Bm           A
With the arrogance of the drunk pedestrian
D                Bm                   A
Taxi driver looks down my girlfriends top
D                Bm                 A
Asks politely if he can be a gentlemen
D                  Bm                        A
Pulls his aviators down so he doesn't have to stop

Bm                                      D
And we'll keep on through the sh*t storm

Until the metaphors are literal 
                         Bm
Forced screams are guttural
                                      D
And we'll keep on through the sh*t storm 

Until the metaphors, until the metaphors

G                 A      G      A
When I said this is all I had I meant it

D                          Bm   A                 D
Nice speak in the tired clichés of a strip club DJ
          Bm                   A
Marvelous things so quickly get mundane
D                           Bm
When you see the scaffolding behind me
                 A
And all the dirty air it always blocks your way

Bm                                D
And we'll keep on through the sh*t storm

Until the metaphors are literal 
                    Bm
Forced screams are guttural
                                      D
And we'll keep on through the sh*t storm 
                 Bm                 A
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors 

Until the metaphors



       G             A     G      A
When I said this was all I had I meant it
       G           A     G       A
When I said this was all I had I meant it
         Em     F#m       G       A
When you said I was a bad person I felt it
         Em      F#m       G         A
When I said this was all I had I meant it
          Em     F#m        G        A
When you said that I had destroyed you
            Em             F#m         G       A 
I knew that part of you was trying to destroy me too
       Em          F#m        G         A
When I said that I wanted to die I meant it
        Em           F#m      G         A
When I said that you saved my life I meant it

But goodbye


(Bm D A G  )
(Goodbye   ) x3

end on A
