Intro: G , D/F# , Em , D , C9 (x2) G

Verse 1:
G
The kids get drunk, the kids get sad, 
            Em7                      C9                 G
They start telling stories that they didn't even know they had.
( G )     Em7            C9                         G
And me, I always leave early so this is just what I hear.
G
The kids in the back are just up in arms,
                Em7                   C9      G
that saying the same thing won't get 'em any new reaction.
 

Chorus:
                   Em                              D4
And we just need to stop now and change our rhythms to  
C9    G
Match up again.
Em                                 D         C9         G    
I keep getting all of your letters and they look good in print.
D4     C9   G 
They look good in print.
Em                                 D         C9         G    
I keep getting all of your letters and they look good in print.

Verse 2:
G
That guy from work, he is a friend of mine.
   Em                      C9                            
He likes the 5/8 time, he likes a 5th a night. 
                G
It makes him feel alright.
G    Em        C9
And I'd choose murder over heart attack.
       G               D4
I can't take the news, I can't face the fact that
Em                           C9     G
this is all that I've really even ever had.
G
It's easier to just swim under the bridge
    Em                     C9         G
Than to stand right up and walk over it.
    G
and I rolled over and looked straight up,
    Em                               C9             G
and saw there was no bridge and that water dried right up.


Chorus:
                   Em                              D4
And we just need to stop now and change our rhythms to  
C9    G
Match up again.
Em                                 D         C9         G    
I keep getting all of your letters and they look good in print.
D4     C9   G 
They look good in print.
Em                                 D         C9         G    
I keep getting all of your letters and they look good in print.
D4     C9   G 
They look good in print.
