Intro: F
Capo:3
            F
I can't live in this city

But I was born here
          Dm
And I know all these people

Where they went to high school
Bb
Where they got their angle

Here they waited tables
C
Still call me brother

Like Cain and Abel


     F
There, see all those old men

How'd they get so swollen?
    Dm
I got so many broke friends

Who say I owe them
        Bb
From when we were children

How did it happen?
C
Where is it going?

                           Dm
Is that your question, man?
                   Bb              Dm
Where does all your frustration lie?
           C                               Dm
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
            Bb
Just try and have a good time
F   C   Dm   Am Bb
All the rest aside
                           F
You're still one of my kind

F Am Dm C

             F
I can't think in this city

But I remember
      Dm
I know every story that it ever told me
Bb
Well, I got the blueprint

To create my own myth
C
That's what made it tragic

Like a summer snowdrift


      F
Yeah, going to call my first love

Meet her at the new club
Dm
Tell her all that I've done

Finally be forgiven
Bb
And get good and drunk
Bb4/Bb
Like it feels you're young
C
There are things against us

                              Dm
But I will fight tooth and nail
             Bb               Dm
Stand in the sickening sunshine
      C                     Dm
After staying out all night
          Bb
And maybe it's the good life
F   C   Dm   Am Bb
All the rest aside
C   Dm   Am Bb
The rest aside
C   Dm   Am Bb
The rest aside
                           F
You're still one of my kind

F Am Dm C


            F
I can't live in this city

But I'll probably die here
Dm
Maybe that's how you feel

Like a poisoned cornfield
Bb
Like a best friend back-stabbed

An abandoned train track
C
We're living straight-lined
                       F
Are you one of my kind?

F Am Dm C
