Standard tuning
 
G                                C
The city subway stations never glisten.
                                     Em
The gates rise up like they belong in prison.
                                 D
And my balance is low. I better pick a good place, I got one ride to go.
             G                                                                         
Your fucking cocaine party fucking freaks me out.
               C                            
When did Scott Weiland show up? How long?s he stickin? around?
              Em
I guess this new fare hike means that I?ll ride my bike,
     D
play video games and do other stuff that I like.

And in the morning cleaning up, we found these plastic bags
        D                            G
with a little bit of party left and started to laugh,
          C                          G
?Man, I?m glad I passed out from the booze and the weed
         D                        G
cause the house stayed up ?til 6 AM doing speed.?
            C              G
But now it?s 1 AM and I?m quite a few in
         D                                  G
and I can barely make out where the bathroom line begins
               C                       G
and it?s been moving five inches every fucking five minutes.
              D                                            
I wanna ask the over privileged kids if 

(I suggest barre chords here, except for the Cadd(b9)C7M parts)
G                 B
they would fucking mind?
  Am           F#               B        Am              C9   C7M
I gotta take a piss in the cocaine room. What is this? The line for lines?
      C9        C7M               G            B
It?s a long line for lines. I?m getting claustrophobia


              Am         F#                B 
from the twenty-something set with bleary eyes.
Am             C9      C7M    C9       C7M
What is this? The line for lines? Long line for lines.
G       B               Am          C9  C7M   C9 C7M
I don?t wanna be part of this Friday night or Saturday night.
G       B               Am          C9  C7M   C9 C7M
I don?t wanna be part of this line for lines, long line for lines.
G       B              Am      G
I don?t wanna be part of this night.
         C                G                        D         
When I?m out these days I do is complain about the booming bass
               G                     C                         
and the shitty DJ because if I wanted to go to a dance club,
          G                  D
I?d own a bottle of Brut, a closet full of Christian Dior,
           G                                                                            
and I?d be in a different room. 
               C                         G
?Cause we can dance to Otis Redding, P.O.S, and M.I.A
              D                                  G
and if you?re on Serato Scratch don?t call yourself a DJ.
         C                              G             
Beat detecting?s got no attitude, your tempo maps can?t feel and room ,
      D                                                          
but lemmings all have dancing shoes and 

(barre again here) 
G                 B
I?m just freaking out.
             Am           F#                   B
You?re assaulting me with thrusts like I?m an asshole.
        Am              C9    C7M   C9 C7M
You?re sweating to the sounds of Billboard?s Hot 100 
       G              B
like a total yeah bro dick.
          Am               F#                      B
Man, I thought that we all lived here ?cause we?re different
          Am        C9  C7M   C9    C7M    
I guess I was wrong this time, and time after time 
G       B               Am    C9  C7M   C9     C7M
I don?t wanna be part of this Friday night or Saturday night. 
G       B               Am      C9 C7M      C9    C7M
I don?t wanna be part of these cokey times and eight dollar wines.
G        B         Am         G
I don?t wanna be part of this night.

G                              C
The city subway station never glistens. 
                                   
The gates rise up like ?Hey What?s up?
            Em                                               D
You?re in prison, confined by alcoholism and lack of better decisions

for having fun on the weekends.? 
           G
But this shitty atmosphere keeps bumming me out.
              C
Don?t want my Club MTV. I hate Downtown Julie Brown.
              Em                           
I guess these new prices hikes will make me grab my light
              D
and climb the fire escape to the roof for a book that I like.? 


Just mess around with the verse chord progression for a little bit, end on G
