🎸
Capo: 3rd fret
Note: I added a few things which I think sound cool, and I changed it to only one person performing alone,
so you can't play this version along with the original.
VERSE 1:
C
Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sell me out
F7/c
But our footprints washed away
From the docks downtown
It's been getting late for days
C
And I feel myself deserving of a little time off
We can kick it, hang for hours
F7/c
And just mouth off about the world
And how we know it's going straight to hell
Am
Pass me another bottle, honey
The Jaeger's so sweet
F7/c
But if it keeps you around, then I'm down
CHORUS:
C
Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out
F/c
Though I'm hardly worth your time
G Am
In the cold, you look so fierce
F7/c
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
C
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
F7/c
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
G Am
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
F7/c
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
(I skipped the intermezzo riff here, but you can play it as F7/c - C - F7/c)
VERSE 2:
C
I should have known better than to call you out
F7/c
On a night like this, a night like this
C
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground
F7/c
But I'm all right like this, all right like this
Am
I'm gonna roll the dice
G F7/c
Before you sober up and get gone
I'm always in over my head
CHORUS:
C
Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out
F7/c
Though I'm hardly worth your time
G Am
In the cold, you look so fierce
F7/c
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
C
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
F7/c
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
G Am
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
F7/c
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
BRIDGE: (I would usually play with just one strum on each chord, but it's up to you)
Am
Time to lay claim to the evidence
F7/c
Fingerprints sell me out
C
But our footprints washed away
G
I'm guilty, but I'm safe for one more day
Am
Overdressed and underage
F7/c
Do you really need see an ID?
C
This is embarrassing as hell
G
But I can cover for it so well
G (go back to normal strumming pattern) C
When we're six feet under the stars
OUTRO: (Only one strum for each chord)
C
Thames Street
I'll take you out
F7/c
Though I'm hardly worth your time
G Am
In the cold you look so fierce
F7/c
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
C
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
F7/c
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
G Am
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
F/c C
But there's room for two
F7/c G C
