[G] [Em]
[C] [G] I'm running out of miracles, [Em] [G] oh my soul
And the streets are live with one man shows, [Em] oh [G] my soul
The corner boys were moved along, [Em] [G] oh my soul
We're plummeting like crippled crows, [Em] [G] oh my soul
So long [Em] before you [C] and I were [G] born
Mothers beat these benches [Em] with their empty cups
To [C] the night, out at stars, [G] to be here and now and who we [C] are
I pull the sunrise [G] with my sidecar [C] tunes
With who I choose to lose [G] my mind
[C] And if it's all we only [G] pass this way
But once, what [C] a perfect waste of [G] time
The BMX apart the [Em] creek, [G] oh my soul
The architect to infamy,
[Em] oh [G] my soul
For each and every train we made
[Em] [G]
A bitter little Eucharist, [Em] [G] oh my soul
So long [Em] before [C] you and I [G] were born
Mothers beat these benches [Em] with their empty cups
To [C] the night, out at stars, [G] to be here and now and who we [C] are
I pull the sunrise [G] with my sidecar [C] tunes
With who I choose to lose [G] my mind
[C] And if it's all we only [G] pass this way
But once, [C] what a perfect waste [G] of time
I [C] pull the sunrise [G] with my sidecar tunes
[C] With who I choose to [G] lose my mind
[C] And if it's all we only [G] pass this way
But once, [C] what a perfect waste of [G] time
[C] What
[G] [C] a perfect waste of [G] time
