C C7M G7M G G5
Shakedown nineteen seven nine,
C C7M G7M G G5
Cool kids never have the time.
C C7M Am
On a live wire right up off the street
D G7M G G5
You and I should meet.
C C7M G7M G G5
Junebug skipping like a stone
C C7M G7M G G5
With headlights pointed at the dawn.
C C7M
We were sure we'd never see
Am D
An end to it all.
G7M G G5 C C7M G7M
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
G G5 C C7M G7M
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
G G5 C
To dust I guess
C7M Am D G7M G G5
Forgotten and absorbed to the earth below.
C C7M G7M G G5
Double cross the vacant and the bored,
C C7M G7M G G5
They're not sure just what we have in store.
C C7M A C
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:
G7M G G5 C C7M G7M
That we don't even care as restless as we are,
G G5 C C7M G7M
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts.
G G5 C
And poured cement,
C7M D
Lamented and assured.
Em C
To the lights and towns below,
D Em C
Faster than the speed of sound,
D Em C Am D G7M G G5
Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope.
C C7M G7M G G5
Justine never knew the rules,
C C7M G7M G G5
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.
C C7M G7M G G5
No a-pologies ever need be made,
C C7M Am D
I know you better than you fake it down to see:
G7M G G5 C C7M G7M
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
G G5 C C7M G7M
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
G G5 C
To dust I guess,
C7M Am D G7M G G5
Forgotten and absorbed to the earth below.
C C7M G7M G G5
The street heats the urgency of now.
C G
As you see there's no one around.
