[Intro]~

E F#m A D

E F#m A D





[Verse]~

E F#m A D

I went with you up to the place you grew up in,.. we spent a week in the cold



E F#m A D

Just long enough to "Walden" it with you,.. any longer,.. it would have got old



E F#m A D

Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died but nothing's changed - L!A!'s all right



E F#m A D

I'm sleeping in my bed again and getting in my head and then walk around the reservoir





[Chorus]~

E F#m A D

You-uuu-uuu-uuuu,.. you must have been looking for me



E F#m A D

Sending smo-oo-oo-ooke signals,.. pelicans circling



F#m E D

Burning trash out on the beach





[Solo]~

E F#m A D





[Verse]~

E F#m A D

One of your eyes is always half-shut,.. something happened when you were a kid



E F#m A D

I didn't know you then and I'll never understand why it feels like I did



E F#m A D

"How Soon Is Now" in an '80s sedan,.. you slept inside of it because your dad



E F#m A D

Lived in a campground in the back of a van,.. you said that song will creep you out until you're dead





[Chorus]~

E F#m A D

And you-uuu-uuu-uuuu must have been looking for me



E F#m A D

Sending smo-oo-oo-ooke signals,.. pelicans circling



F#m E D

Burning trash out on the beach





[Solo]~

E F#m A D





[Verse]~

E F#m A D

I wonna live at the Holiday Inn where somebody else makes the bed



E F#m A D

We'll watch TV while the lights on the street put all the stars to death



E F#m A D

It's been on my mind since Bowie died just checking out to hide from life



E F#m A D

And all of our problems I'm gonna solve 'em with you riding shot-gun speeding,.. 'cause fuck the cops





[Chorus]~

E F#m A D

And you-uuu-uuu-uuuu,.. you must have been looking for me



E F#m A D

Sending smo-oo-oo-ooke signals,.. pelicans circling



F#m E D

Burning trash out on the beach





[Solo]~

E F#m A D





[Verse]~

E F#m A D

I buried a hatchet,.. it's coming up lavender,.. the future's unwritten,.. the past is a corridor



E F#m A D

I'm at the exit looking back through the hall,.. you are anonymous,.. I am a concrete wall





[Outro]~

E F#m A D

E F#m A D

E F#m A D
