[Intro]
Emaj7 E A Emaj7 E
[Verse 1]
A Emaj7 E
Shakedown nineteen seven nine,
A Emaj7 E
Cool kids never have the time.
A F#m7
On a live wire right up off the street
B Emaj7 E
You and I should meet.
[Verse 2]
A Emaj7 E
Junebug skipping like a stone
A Emaj7 E
With headlights pointed at the dawn.
A
We were sure we'd never see
F#m7 B
An end to it all.
[Chorus 1]
E Emaj7 Amaj7 E
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
Emaj7 Amaj7 E
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
Emaj7 Amaj7
To dust I guess
F#m7 B Emaj7 E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
A Emaj7 E
[Verse 3]
A Emaj7 E
Double cross the vacant and the bored,
A Emaj7 E
They're not sure just what we have in store.
A F# A
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:
[Chorus 2]
E Emaj7 Amaj7 E
That we don't even care as restless as we are,
Emaj7 Amaj7 E
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts.
Emaj7 Amaj7
And poured cement,
B
Lamented and assured.
[Bridge]
C#m A
To the lights and towns below,
B C#m A
Faster than the speed of sound,
B C#m A F#m7 B Emaj7 E
Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope.
[Verse 4]
A Emaj7 E
Justine never knew the rules,
A Emaj7 E
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.
A Emaj7 E
No a-pologies ever need be made,
A F#m7 B
I know you better than you fake it to see:
[Chorus 3]
E Emaj7 Amaj7 E
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
Emaj7 Amaj7 E
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
Emaj7 Amaj7
To dust I guess,
F#m B Emaj7 E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
[Outro]
A Emaj7 E
The street heats the urgency of now.
A E
As you see there's no one around.
