Chords

Standard

[Verse]

G           Am                          C            (G/B)
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
G                    Am         Bm         C         (G/B)
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
G                Am  Bm             C               (G/B)
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
      Am          C      G   
For reasons wretched and divine

G          Am                    C               (G/B)
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild
G           Am      Bm         C           (G/B)
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
G            Am        Bm             C         (G/B)
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
     Am              C    G      
And lord she found me just in time


[Pre-Chorus]

               Em      Bm            C
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
               Am                          F    F#m   G
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young


[Chorus]

G         Am                  C                                (G/B)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
G         Am                    C                               (G/B)
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Em          Bm              C                                 (G/B)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
G          Am                       C
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues


[Verse]

G             Am                         C               (G/B)  
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
G           Am  Bm     C                           (G/B)
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
G                Am  Bm              C                 (G/B)
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Am                 C        G
Sit back and watch the world go by


[Pre-Chorus]

      Em   Bm              C
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
Am                               F    F#m  G
We tried the world good god it wasn't for us


[Chorus]

G         Am                  C                                (G/B)

She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Em          Bm              C                                 (G/B)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues

[Verse]

G            Am                      C               (G/B)
Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
G               Am                   C           (G/B)    
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left
G                     Am   Bm                 C                          (G/B)
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
Am                      C  G
For whatever poor soul is coming next


[Chorus]

G         Am                  C                                (G/B)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Em          Bm              C                                 (G/B)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
G          Am                       C
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues
