[E]
Chugging, up a chip square [A] shim, keep chugging.
Life that you don't plan [B]
together, for less in [A] life,
just keep chugging.
Whoa, [E] whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're down on New York, you're going to Long Beach.
In the little city, you're going to the typical daydream.
[A] [E]
And up the street, you're going to the mall.
Alice, got a soft [A] machine.
In Houston, she grows new old [B] leaves.
In New York, got the way of the man.
[A]
Just hope that you'll be [E] home.
Don't let the cat chew you, you'll be sleeping in the mud.
Once the fire is out, you're dying of cold.
One of these days, you know they better be gone.
Out of the door, now I'm a street [E] aloner.
Chugging, life that you don't plan,
[A] what's told you, you've got to play your hand.

[F#]
[A] but our heart's strange [E] if it's been.
[E]
What in the world ever became the secret?
She lost her sloppers and her shit,
living on records and vinyls and seeing poor things.
[A] [E]
All her friends were [B] crazy and ashamed.
[E]
Dr.
Buffalo, [A] feel it taking.
Dr.
Mello, slow [B]
it takes time
to pick a place to [A] go, because it's deep turkey.
Oh, oh, [E] oh, oh.
Sitting and staring out of the hotel window.
I pick on the people talking in the corner.
I like to kiss the people I grab up.
Whatever you're gonna want, I can see it coming.
Busted down a lovely street.
[A] Set up, not the only thing.
[B]
Knocked out, that's the worrying [A] thing.
It just won't let you be.
[E]
You think of hanging around, then you wanna travel.
You're tired of traveling, you wanna settle down.
I guess they can't fuck you, so I [B] try.
[E] Get out of the bar and look around.
