Verse:
D                               Dsus4
I've got somethin' here, it's a chance
      Dsus4/C              Dsus4/B
I'm'a make my changes as I go and the city lights
D              Dsus4
Dance away the stars
       Dsus4/C           Dsus4/B        D                    Dsus4
I have met all kinds of reasons why the seasons leave their scars
     Dsus4/C          Dsus4/B     D                Dsus4
I am thin as cinnamon and tarnish like these metal cars
     Dsus4/C          Dsus4/B      D     D
That drive along the rivers of the tar
             D           Dsus4
I am weatherproof as the rain
         Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B     D             Dsus4
And I've fooled every lover into drinkin' up my pain
     Dsus4/C       Dsus4/B     D              Dsus4
I am hangin by the edges of my name, but I am warm
    Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B           D       D
So comfortable forgetting bout the storm

🎸
