D7M D9 A4 G
Shakedown 1979
D7M D9 A4 G
Cool kids never have the time
D7M D9 A4 G Em7 A4
On a live wire right up off the street you and I should meet
D7M D9 A4 G
June bug skipping like a stone
D7M D9 A4 G
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
D7M D9 A4 G Em7 A4
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
D7M A4 G
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
D7M A4 G D7M
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
A4 G Em7 A4
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
D7M D9 A4 G
Double cross the vacant and the bored
D7M D9 A4 G
They're not sure just what we have in the store
D7M D9 A4 G Em7 A4
Morphine city slippin' dues, down to see that
D7M A4 G D7M
We don't even care, as restless as we are
A4 G D7M A4 G Em7
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts and poured cement, lamented and assured
A4 B4 G
To the lights and towns below
A4 B4 G
Faster than the speed of sound
A4 B4 G A4 Em7 D7M
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
D7M D9 A4 G
Justine never knew the rules
D7M D9 A4 G
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
D7M D9 A4 G
No apologies ever need be made
D7M D9 A4 G Em7 A4
I know you better than you fake it, to see
D7M A4 G
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
D7M A4 G D7M
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
A4 G Em7 A4
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
D7M D9 A4 G
The street heats the urgency of sound
D7M D9 A4 G D9
As you can see there's no one around
