[Em] [Bm]
[F#] [F#m] [D]
[Bm] This she [D] did in public for us to see.
She came in here too drunk to do the show.
[Bm] Between the [D] trains and cars, broken glass and lost hubcaps, images of a [Bm] gun.
Row [D] house, row house, pass through.
Let the city rise [Gm] up to fill the screen.
[Bm] [F#m] Clothes flung out [G] of closets, doorknobs falling off.
[Bm] The guitar [F#m] guy played [G] real good feedback and super sounding riffs.
[Bm] With his [C#] mild mannered look on.
[D] [Gm] Yeah, he was truly hip.
[Bm] Girl [C#] started out in red patent [D] leather, very [G] I'm in a band, with [D] knee pads.
[G] We watched her [A] fall over and lay [Gm] down,
shouting the poetic truths of high school journal [Bm] keepers.
Row [F#m] house, row [C#] house, pass [D] through.
Let the city rise up.
[Bm] Twister, [C#] dust buster, hospital [D] bed.
I'll see you, see you, see you on the [Bm] highway.
Now we [F#m] told soul [C#] merge [G] ideas, assault forms, and freedom.
[Bm] [D] Missed seafood, [C#] missed cheesecake, [D] a couple of missed donuts.
The edge of a blade pressed [Bm] to the throat of your reflected image.
[A] [Gm] Poised, it totally [Bm] screwed up.
[C#] Yes sir, [D] yes sir, step right up.
[G] [A] [Dm] [G]
[Bm] [G] [C#] [D]
[D#] [Cm] None of us know [G] where we're trying to get to.
[D#] What's on the [Cm] line?
What we're [Gm] trying to build.
[D#] Now we told soul merge [G] ideas, assault forms, and freedom.
[D#] Seasons out of line.
[G] Nothing is out of reach.
[Cm] LA is more confusing now [G] than anywhere I've ever been to.
[Cm] I'm from New York [D#] City.
[G] Breathe it out and let it in.
Where are you now [Em] when your broken eyes are [C#] closed?
[G]
Head in a cloudy dream, green sailboats.
[Em]
Borrowed and never returned.
[G] Emotions, books, outlooks on life.
[Em] [G]
Hello 2015.
[Cm]
[G] [Em] 2015.
