What Time Is It In Portland chords by Bonny Doon

Intro:
D G D

Verse:

D
I don't wanna go out

G
I guess I'm just feeling down

           D                                                      G
I've seen five generations of friends come and go through this revolving door town

         Em                                            A
And the kids coming up they wear nicer shoes than the ones we used to wear

      Em                                              A
And I know it's rude but when I'm introduced I find it truly hard to care


              D
So I've been getting to know these buildings

           G
And just hang around on the streets

D
Getting to know the feeling

     G
Of being obsolete


         Em
And the city is a grand old elm

        A
But it's gonna grow new leaves

            Em                                   A
And it's a long way down to the ground for such a short time on the tree

Chorus:

       G                            D
And I act like I don't know what to do

          Em                     G                 D
But only fools fight when they know they're gonna lose

Verse:

         D
So what time is it in Portland?

            G
You know I like keeping up with you

              D
And are you waking to the Willamette

     G
Or saying goodnight to the moon


            Em
And don't count me out just yet

       A
I got just enough sap left

    Em
To put myself on a plane

     A
And make some kinda big come back

Chorus:

       G                                 D
And I act like I don't understand when I do, I do

               Em                        G                  D
Sometimes you just gotta see if I would put up a fight for you

               Em                        G                  D
Sometimes you just gotta see if I would put up a fight for you

               Em                        G                  D
Sometimes you just gotta see if I would put up a fight for you
