West Side Story chords by Camp Cope

Intro: (x2)
Em7 Cadd9

Verse:
Em7                                          Cadd9
Tried to get the audience out from inside my head
Em7                                                                 Cadd9
And the things you say are beautiful, but they don’t make very much sense
Em7                                D                      Cadd9
From the day that I was born, they took me for all that I had
Em7              Cadd9
And I let them, ‘cause they let me in
Em7                D                      Cadd9
I'm so weak, I can barely hold this instrument

Chorus:
G       D                  Cadd9
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
G       D                  Cadd9
I wanna make fun of cops with you

Verse:
Em7                                 Cadd9
You went on tour and I went on medication
Em7                                                                 Cadd9
I’ve been stuck in this waiting room and they’re telling me to stay patient
Em7                             D                Cadd9
So, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll sing this song for you
Em7                                  Cadd9
Celebrate with a joint or two, and a new backyard tattoo
Em7                                          D                Cadd9
And think of the time that we spent watching X-Files in your living room

Chorus:
G       D                  Cadd9
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
G       D                  Cadd9
I wanna find every truth with you

Verse:
Em7                                                     Cadd9
And it all comes down to the knowledge that we’re gonna die
Em7                                                    Cadd9
Find comfort in that or be scared for the rest of your life
Em7                            D                     Cadd9
So, I sing and I scream and I strum and I try to help out
Em7                                      Cadd9
’Til I can build a little house that the government doesn’t know about
Em7                               D              Cadd9
But I’d rather be right here than anywhere else, right now

Chorus:
G       D                  Cadd9
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
G       D                  Cadd9
I wanna watch the empire fall with you

Bridge: (x2)
Em D C

Verse:
Em                       D                        C                                Em     D        C
And it’s fucking with me that you didn’t see that it wasn’t them and it was always me who knew too much
Em                         D                              C
And I’m no storyteller the way you are, I’m just an angry kid who got given a guitar
Em                        D       C
But how dare you say that I’m too young
Em                                 D                C
To know that the ticket prices are going up and the trains still aren’t on time
Em                            D                         C
And the thugs that patrol the lines are the reason I’ll never pay my fines
Em                          D              C
And prescription prices are going up and we’re not making any more money
Em                      D      C
Tony’s wallet’s getting heavy, Gina's stomach is far from empty
Em                   D                  C
And it’s too many in my mind and now I’m living on the west side
Em                      D                C
You say “Breathe it in, breathe it out”, you don’t know what you’re talking about
E                          D                   C
And it’s eating away at my insides and now I’m living on the west side
Em             D               C
And my mother says I’ve gotten thin
Em                        D                   C                                              Em
