A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) Dsus2 (xx0230@1) E (022100@1) AAnd (x02220@1)the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down. Dsus2 (xx0230@1) E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) E (022100@1) BmAnd (x24432@1)the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires.

A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) Dsus2 (xx0230@1) E (022100@1) AWe (x02220@1)give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet. E (022100@1) Dsus2 (xx0230@1) E (022100@1) BmWe (x24432@1)pencil in, we cancel out; we crave the corner suite. A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) Dsus2 (xx0230@1) E (022100@1) AWe (x02220@1)kiss your ass, we make you hold; we doctor the receipt. Dsus2 (xx0230@1) E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) E (022100@1) BmAnd (x24432@1)the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels.
