D A I don't believe in heaven, I do believe in hell G A It's down the street from here, And we both lived there for years D A G We burned the calendars for warmth, And the alarm clocks just for fun A We closed the blinds to make goddamn sure G That we could never see the sun F You could set a watch by the bottle returns Bm G D F# And the ashtrays overflowing on the floor Bm D G A A... Nothing's free but time when you're so damn poor D Bm But the past was death row, And the future's a battlefield G A I hope we choose the right war D Bm Because I've been fist fighting gravity, Since the day I learned how to breathe G A And I still wake up On the same cold floor i fell asleep on D A G G So I won't, but we shall overcome someday D A G G I can't do it alone, but I shall be free someday D A Bm G I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die D A Bm G Vampirism is for poseurs in junior high Trumpet x2: D Bm F#m G D A We made our own postal system, To cross the continent G A As long as freight trains run And loners pick up dreamers with thumbs D Who needs governments to get a letter to you A Or a mixtape to me, or a postcard to Johnstown? G What's a thousand miles between friends? A What's a friend that's not worth crossing a country? D A But I owe money and broken hearts G From Philly to Sydney and back to Vermont D (yeeeah) I regret a million things G A A... And that's only what I haven't forgot D Bm But the past was a mine field, And right now is a prison break G A I hope we make it alive D Bm When who we are doesn't stop where the law begins G A Then we'll storm their court houses to survive D A G G So I won't, but we shall overcome someday D A G G I can't do it alone, but we shall be free someday D A Bm G I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die D A Bm G Vampirism is for poseurs in junior high
