Verse 1:
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Shakedown nineteen seven nine,
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Cool kids never have the time.
A A F#m7 F#m7
On a live wire right up off the street
B B
You and I should meet.

Verse 2:
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Junebug skipping like a stone
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
With headlights pointed at the dawn.
A A
We were sure we'd never see
F#m7 F#m7 B B
An end to it all.

Chorus 1:
E E Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 E E
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 E E
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7
To dust I guess
F#m7 F#m7 B B E E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

Verse 3:
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Double cross the vacant and the bored,
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
They're not sure just what we have in store.
A A F#m7 F#m7 A A
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:

Chorus 2:
E E Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 E E
That we don't even care as restless as we are,
Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 E E
We feel the pull in the land of a tousand guilts.
Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7
And poured cement,
B B
Lamented and assured.

Bridge:
C#m C#m A A
To the lights and town below,
B B C#m C#m B B
Faster than the speed of sound,
B B C#m C#m A A F#m7 F#m7 B B
Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope.

Verse 4:
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Justine never knew the rules,
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
No apologies ever need be made,
E E F#m7 F#m7 B B
I know better than you fake it to see:

Chorus 3:
E E Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 E E
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 E E
And we don't know just where out bones will rest
Emaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7
To dust I guess,
F#m F#m B B Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

Coda:
A A Emaj7 Emaj7 E E
The street heats the urgency of now.
A A E E
As you see there's no-one around.
