[Ab]cool kids never have the [Ebmaj7]time

[Eb]on a [Ab]live wire right up off the [Fm]street

you and [Bb]I should [Ebmaj7]meet[Eb]

[Ab]junebug skipping like a [Ebmaj7]stone[Eb]

[Ab]with the headlights pointed at the [Ebmaj7]dawn[Eb]

[Ab]we were sure we'd never see an [Fm]end to it [Bb]all

 

[Eb]and I don't even [Ab]care to shake these zipper [Eb]blues

and we don't [Ab]know

just where our bones will [Eb]rest

to dust I [Ab]guess

forgotten and [Fm]absorbed into the [Bb]earth [Ebmaj7]below

 

[Ebmaj7]　[Eb]　[Ab]　[Ebmaj7]　[Eb]

 

[Ab]double cross the vacant and the [Ebmaj7]bored[Eb]

[Ab]they're not sure just what we have in the [Ebmaj7]store[Eb]

[Ab]morphine city slippin [Fm]dues down to [Ab]see

 

[Eb]that we don't even [Ab]care as restless as we [Eb]are

we feel the [Ab]pull in the land of a thousand [Eb]guilts

and poured [Ab]cement, lamented and [Bb]assured

to the lights and [Cm]towns [Ab]below

[Bb]faster than the [Cm]speed of [Ab]sound

[Bb]faster than we [Cm]thought we'd [Ab]go,

[Fm]beneath the [Bb]sound of [Ebmaj7]hope

 

[Ebmaj7]　[Eb]

 

[Ab]justine never knew the [Ebmaj7]rules[Eb]

[Ab]hung down with the freaks and the [Ebmaj7]ghouls

[Eb]no [Ab]apologies ever need be [Ebmaj7]made[Eb]

[Ab]I know you better than you [Fm]fake it to [Bb]see

 

[Eb]that we don't even [Ab]care to shake these zipper [Eb]blues

and we don't [Ab]know

just where our bones will [Eb]rest

to dust I [Ab]guess

forgotten and [Fm]absorbed into the [Bb]earth [Ebmaj7]below

 

[Ebmaj7]　[Eb]

 

[Ab]the street heats the urgency of [Ebmaj7]sound[Eb]

[Ab]as you see there's no one [Eb]around
