Verse
C#m
Brother hold your head this way
    Ab
And bustle to the front of the line
            E                          Ab
Coz if they catch your eyes before you get inside,
            C#m
Well you'll never be allowed

C#m
People got a name for us
    E                         Ab
Coz we escape the strain of the days
      F#                      A
Oh we stretch in the side and bend in the middle,
       C#m
But we never ever break

C#m             C#m/Ab   A      E
But if you feel that way now
C#m       C#m/Ab    A       F#
Or if you feel so inclined
C#m           F#(2)     E             A             Ab
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise

C#m                  C#m/Ab   A      E
Oh and if you wanna lose your frown
C#m             C#m/Ab    A       F#
Or your name or even your face
C#m       F#(2)     E             A             Ab         C#m
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with whistling neon breath

It goes thru the same few chord progressions again then to the chorus
which is instrumental


Chorus
[ A    D ][ E    ][ C#m    E ][ B
   ][E (2 fr.)    ][ Ab    ][ Ab     ] repeat.


Then back into the verse


After second chorus

[ C#(not minor)][ Ab      ][ C#      ][ Ab
      ][ Ab      ]
                                                          Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....

F#m              B         E               A
All your spirits gone, and you are barley alive.
     D        Ab                 C#m
You hand me a smoke, though it?s like you hardly notice
F#m            B
And it?s sad I suppose
       E              A
When I look into your eyes you say
D                   Ab      D                 Ab
It seems to go this way, no matter what?s at stake,
       D               Ab                     C#m
Oh it seems to go this way with everything I start


guitar solo


the chord progression is the same as in the verse,
soloing in the Dbm scale tends to sound pretty good

   C#m           C#m/Ab   A      E
Oh so if you feel that way now
C#m            C#m/Ab    A       F#
Or if you ever feel so inclined
C#m           F#(2)     E             A             Ab
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise
    C#m           C#m/Ab     A      E
But if you want to lose your frown
   C#m          C#m/Ab    A       F#
Or your name or even your face
C#m       F#(2)     E             A             Ab         C#m
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with rushing neon breath
