Shakedown 1979,
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
cool kids never have the time
 
F#m             B5           Emaj7  E5  A5
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
junebug skipping like a stone
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
 
F#m           B5
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
 
E5           A5                            E5
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
 
A5                              E5              A5
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
 
F#m                 B5
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
Emaj7  E5  A5                                     Emaj7  E5  A5
double cross the vacant and the bored
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
they're not sure just what we have in store
 
F#m          A5
morpine city slippin dues down to see
 
E5             A5                      E5
that we don't even care as restless as we are
 
A5                              E5
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
 
A5                 B5
and poured cement, lamented and assured
 
C#m     A5
to the lights and towns below
 
B5               C#m      A5
faster than the speed of sound
 
B5              C#m          A5  F#m         B5           Emaj7  E5  A5
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
Justine never knew the rules
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
no apologies ever need be made
 
F#m
I know you better than you fake it
 
B5       E5             A5                          E5
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
 
A5                              E5               A5
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess
 
F#m       B5         Emaj7  E5  A5
forgotten and absorbed into earth below
 
Emaj7  E5  A5
the street heats the urgency of sound
 
E5
as you can see there's no one around
