[Eb] [Bb] [C] [Bb] [A]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Bb] You walk down [A] Alameda Shuffling your deck of [Gm] trick cards
Over [Eb]
everyone Hear [Bb] from the precious [A] Oni son
[Gm] Face down bow to the [Eb] champion
[Bb] You walk down [A] Alameda Looking at the cracks in [Gm] the sidewalk
Thinking about your friends How [Bb] you made to hang all of [A] them in
[Gm] A glossy set of [Eb]
suspense [Cm] For your own [D] protection
[Gm]
[Bb] Over them affection [Db] See [Ab] what [Fm] you've grown on stone
[Bb] All you've [Eb] ever got [Ab] now is Drinking [Bb] your own heart
You walk down [A] Alameda Washing all the diapers [Gm] you wish could play
When you're [Eb] awake So [Bb] nice to be your first [A] mistake
[Gm] Thinking that you could [Eb] relate
A [Bb] [Eb] woman who pinched you like [Gm] two [Bb] thumb [Eb] fixes
[A] [Bb] In a
