Like A Record Player chords by Lawrence Arms

Verse:

     C
I'm like a record player
G
I keep going 'round
G
With the needle in my arm
        F
Making someone else's sound
     C
And lately I've been dreaming
    G
Of blue and empty skies
G
But nothing like that
              F
Ever crosses red and weary eyes
           C
I've been traveling with bottles
     G
I'm working close with cans
                                  F
I'm sitting up for hours with my best friends in a van
          C
And they say that this ain't living
       G
But I don't know what they mean
G

'Cause I don't feel dead
              F
And baby you look alive to me
         Dm                            F
It's the only game that I know how to play

Chorus:

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

Interlude:

C Am G F (x3)

G

Verse:

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

Chorus:

     Am                F
The time, the time to say goodbye
     C         G    F
Has passed us long ago
    Am                F
And I would say I've overstayed
    C               G
My welcome but you know
                                C   Am  G  F
I don't think we're ever going home
C   Am  G  F
Home
C   Am  G  F
Home
C                    Am         G    F
I don't think we're ever going home
