Verse
C#5
Brother hold your head this way
Ab5
And bustle to the front of the line
E5 Ab5
Coz if they catch your eyes before you get inside,
C#5
Well you'll never be allowed
C#5
People got a name for us
E5 Ab5
Coz we escape the strain of the days
F#5 A5
Oh we stretch in the side and bend in the middle,
C#5
But we never ever break
C#5 C#5 A5 E5
But if you feel that way now
C#5 C#5 A5 F#5
Or if you feel so inclined
C#5 F#(2) E5 A5 Ab5
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise
C#5 C#5 A5 E5
Oh and if you wanna lose your frown
C#5 C#5 A5 F#5
Or your name or even your face
C#5 F#(2) E5 A5 Ab5 C#5
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
[ A5 D5 ][ E5 ][ C#5 E5 ][ B5
][E5 (2 fr.) ][ Ab5 ][ Ab5 ] repeat.
Then back into the verse
After second chorus
[ C#(not minor)][ Ab5 ][ C#5 ][ Ab5
][ Ab5 ]
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....
F#5 B5 E5 A5
All your spirits gone, and you are barley alive.
D5 Ab5 C#5
You hand me a smoke, though it?s like you hardly notice
F#5 B5
And it?s sad I suppose
E5 A5
When I look into your eyes you say
D5 Ab5 D5 Ab5
It seems to go this way, no matter what?s at stake,
D5 Ab5 C#5
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#5 C#5 A5 E5
Oh so if you feel that way now
C#5 C#5 A5 F#5
Or if you ever feel so inclined
C#5 F#(2) E5 A5 Ab5
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise
C#5 C#5 A5 E5
But if you want to lose your frown
C#5 C#5 A5 F#5
Or your name or even your face
C#5 F#(2) E5 A5 Ab5 C#5
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with rushing neon breath
