🎸 Verse:
 D
Bobby was a kid from round the town
 G
Kicks pumped up and head held down
D                           G
Underwater more than he was up
           D
He dreamed submarines and bottle green
  G
Imaginary flight machines
         D                                    G
But in blue jean flairs he’d bubble like a 7UP

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Em                   F#m                    Bm
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
  G                         D/F#                     Em
Shoot it up ‘til you feel alive then play one more show

  Cadd9                  G                      D
Plug into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around
     A
You can’t stop feeling
     Cadd9                   G                 D
The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound
         A
And you can’t help healing
      Cadd9            G
They want you and you want to
            D                              A
With their lips on fire and your head unscrewed
          Cadd9                 G                      D     G
But it’s timе to whip another change and hit one morе town


🎸 Verse:
 D
Bobby doesn’t know her name
    G
He holds on tightly just the same
     D                                   G
Sometimes one more night is all you need
      D                         G
I met Alice near the Alamo one summer in San Antonio
        D                         G
I remember her, I don’t remember me


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Em                   F#m                    Bm

        G                  D/F#                    Em
And man anything to feel alive and play one more show


🎸 Chorus:
  Cadd9                  G                      D
Plug into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around
     A
You can’t stop feeling
     Cadd9                   G                 D
The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound
         A
And you can’t help healing
      Cadd9            G

Cuz they want you
        C
Do you want to


🎸 Verse:
    D
I snake sparkle pant glide
          G
But it’s hard to feel, and I can’t get high
    D                                  G
And I don’t always understand how to smile
          D
Kids get sick of being bottled up
     G
It drags you down until you throw it up
       D                                             G
Gotta get out of the house take a ride on the radio dial

    Em                   F#m                    Bm
And everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know

Everything that feels alive is in one more show
