A C#m F#m E



Verse 1:
       A        C#m      F#m     E
If you hate the taste of wine
           A         C#m        F#m      E
Why do you drink it 'til you're blind?
           A           C#m        D            E
And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares
             F#m                E
How come you say it like you're right?

Verse 2:
            A          C#m     F#m    E
Why are you scared to dream of God
           A        C#m      F#m       E
When it's salvation that you want?
        A          C#m             D        E
You see stars that clear have been dead for years
        F#m             E
But the idea just lives on

Verse 3:
       A           C#m        F#m    E
In our wheels that roll around
      A     C#m         F#m    E
As we move over the ground
        A      C#m         D       E
And all day it seems we've been in between
    F#m              E
The past and future town

Pre Chorus:
       F#m               E
We are nowhere, and it's now
       F#m               E
We are nowhere, and it's now

Chorus:
           D                       E
And like a ten minute dream in the passenger seat
          A         A/B    C#m
While the world was flying by
               E
I haven't been gone very long
       E
But it feels like a lifetime

Solo:
A E

Bridge:
Bm                    E
I've been sleeping so strange at night
Bm                      E
Side effects they don't advertise
Bm                    E
I've been sleeping so strange
Bm                  E
With a head full of pesticide

Break:
A C#m F#m E

Verse 4:
            A         C#m      F#m   E
I've got no plans and too much time
           A         C#m      F#m E
I feel too restless to unwind
           A       C#m          D       E
I'm always lost in thought as I walk a block
      F#m            E
To my favorite neon sign
          A        C#m      F#m    E
Where the waitress looks concerned
        A      C#m    F#m   E
But she never says a word
               A       C#m       D    E
Just turns the jukebox on and we hum along
      F#m            E
And I smile back at her

Verse 5:
        A           C#m   F#m   E
And my friend comes after work
         A        C#m      F#m  E
When the features start to blur
               A         C#m        D           E
She says these bars are filled with things that kill
            F#m                 E
By now you probably should have learned

Pre Chorus:
          F#m              E
Did you forget that yellow bird?
               F#m               E
How could you forget your yellow bird?

Chorus:
            D                      E
She took a small silver wreath and pinned it on to me
                A        A/B       C#m
She said, "This one will bring you love"
            E
And I don't know if it's true
      E
But I keep it for good luck

Outro:
A C#m A E
