Like A Record Player chords by Lawrence Arms

Chords with lyrics

Verse:

   C majorC
I'm like a record player
G+G
I keep going 'round
G+G
With the needle in my arm
    FF
Making someone else's sound
   C majorC
And lately I've been dreaming
  G+G
Of blue and empty skies
G+G
But nothing like that
       FF
Ever crosses red and weary eyes
      C majorC
I've been traveling with bottles
   G+G
I'm working close with cans
                 FF
I'm sitting up for hours with my best friends in a van
     C majorC
And they say that this ain't living
    G+G
But I don't know what they mean
G+G
'Cause I don't feel dead
       FF
And baby you look alive to me
     DmDm              FF
It's the only game that I know how to play

Chorus:

   A minorAm        FF
The time, the time to say goodbye
   C majorC     G+G  FF
Has passed us long ago
  A minorAm        FF
And I would say I've overstayed
  C majorC        G+G
My welcome but you know
               C majorC
I don't think I'm ever going home

Interlude:

C majorC A minorAm G+G FF (x3)

G+G

Verse:

C majorC
I don't need a doctor
    G+G
'Cause anyone can see
      FF
That I've had all of these shots
       C majorC        G+G
But lord I'm still as sick as I can be
C majorC
I think I need to rest my eyes
  G+G
so baby come with me
FF                C majorC      G+G
Lay down here beside me keep me warm while I sleep
        FF
'Cause there's trouble on the way
G+G
Huh! You best believe
   C majorC        C/BC/B
There always is don't worry
     A minorAm        FF
Sit and have a drink with me
FF
When we go all we've got is
    G+G
these days that we've made
  C majorC        C/BC/B        A minorAm     FF   G+G  FF
And I don't want to waste them being wistful or afraid
  G+G           FF
Without all of you I'd be even lower down
   C majorC     C/BC/B       FF
You know what I want to say but I can't get it out
