Tom: G
Introdução:
C# G#
Somebody screamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams
F#
Explode into a black fist, he falls to the floor
C# G#
He stares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why
F#
But you can't go back there no more
A#
Future sounds so crazy
G#
We've all heard that song before
A#
Tomorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame
G#
When the train just don't stop here anymore
C# G#
I got starry-eyed on the coaster ride
F#
Andy says, "man I need a break from the world outside"
C# G#
These days my life just careens through a pinball machine
F#
I could do so much better but I can't get off the tilt
A#
And there's a photograph on the TV
G#
Black and white and Andy says something to you
A#
Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like
G#
She says, "I forget myself sometimes too"
A#
Out past the doorways where we are sleeping
D#
Well, the white queens creep
And the Tom cats peep
C#
Now I'm not breaking,
D#
The train's just shaking,
G# C#
I never made it here before,
C# D#
There's a white mouse spinning the girls around,
G# C#
'Til they can't take it anymore
C#
I used to dream in the dark
D#
of Palisades park
G#
Up over the cliffs and
C#
down among the sparks
C#
It's a long life
D#
Full of long nights
A# D# C#
But it was not what I was waiting for
F# F A#
Everybody's seen the horses diving down the shore
F A#
It's a miracle they don't make them anymore.
G#
So make up ladies, wake up baby
C# G#
You walked into the bar like some Saturday star
F#
Stud-straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves,
C# G#
You're a down town pride, fully amplified Clyde,
F#
Gin-tight and aging but well-preserved,
A#
Remember Andy outside your bedroom window,
G#
Saying "come on, let's drive across to the Palisades"
A#
Keep going 'til we hit Reno, Nevada
G#
I don't see Andy all that much these days,
A#
Still there are pages in back,
Of the action stacks
D#
Where, the white queens creep
And the Tom cats peep and...
C#
Now the trains not braking,
D#
The track's just shaking,
G#
I never made it here before,
C# D#
And there's a sky rocket turning the world around,
G# C#
'Til I can't take it anymore
C#
You can carry that spark
D#
from Palisades park
G# C#
Down over the cliffs and out into the dark
C#
It's a long life
D#
Full of long nights
A# D# C#
But it was not what I was looking for
F# F A#
Everybody dreams of horses flying round the shore
F A#
It's a bad dream we're not having anymore
G#
Man,
A#
Have you seen Andy?
G#
Hey man hey man!
A#
Have you seen him around?
G#
Hey man!
A#
Have you seen my my my my my my my Andy?
G#
Have you seen him? x 4 Hey!
A#
Have you seen Andy around?
G#
Dressed up in our pirate best
A#
All leathers and feather and pearls
D#
Andy said, "look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could
G#
Finger up this whole world"
D#
He said, "come outside
D#
Climb out your bedroom window
C#
Shimmy down the fire escape and say good-bye
D#
Come outside"
A#
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie
G#
Changing all the time my leopard spots to polka dots and say good-bye
D#
Come outside
A#
Well maybe we could move to California
C#
Just meet me at the subway and say good-bye
D#
Come outside
A#
The cops all think we're crazy
If you stay you'll just get married
G#
To a girl who'll never know you and then say good-bye
G#
Hey man, have you seen Andy?
A#
I lost her in the sun
C#
I was high as a kite on lovely and white
G#
Man, you could lose anyone
G#
Hey hey man, have you seen Andy?
A#
I don't know where she's gone
C#
But real love outlives teenage lust
G#
We could get wet and it keeps us warm
D#
Love is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us
G#
...sometimes not
D#
Have you bee aching to trust or just...?
A#
Have you been waking yourself with lust...?
C# A#
Have you been making us up or just taking us home?
G#
It's a long wait
C# G#
At a long light
C# G#
Cars frozen in flight
C# G#
All the traffic stops to stare
A#
At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
C#
Wearing nothing but air
A#
And a pair of grey paper wings
C#
Andy thinks, "man, I have got nothing to wear"
A#
We got nothing new and
C#
We got nothing to wear
C#
We got nothing to wear
C# G#
We got nothing to wear
