Capo 2

Intro:
G+G C majorC E minorEm C majorC
G+G C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G

Verse 1:
G+G          C majorC        E minorEm         C majorC
You didn't know, you couldn't stand to watch it all slip through your hands
  G+G          C majorC           B minorBm  A minorAm   G+G
The wayward angel, your promised land, they've burnt to the ground
G+G       C majorC       E minorEm         C majorC
Stone-drunk on halloween, the shift is like some trick to me
    G+G          C majorC      B minorBm  A minorAm   G+G
When a call comes from your balcony but no one's around
  B minorBm           C majorC       B minorBm        C majorC      G+G
So pick your fight, break down the door, endless nights waging war against yourself
    C majorC        B minorBm    A minorAm G+G
on the bathroom floor, spilling it out.

Interlude:
G+G C majorC E minorEm C majorC
G+G C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G

Verse 2:
G+G            C majorC         E minorEm
Now I'm on the bed, her hair's undone, my face is wet,
  C majorC        G+G        C majorC         B minorBm  A minorAm  G+G
Her face is worn from empty years and bitter scorn and a Victorian love.
G+G       C majorC          E minorEm      C majorC
I don't wanna cause you grief and I don't wanna take the lead.
G+G           C majorC      C majorC  B minorBm  A minorAm G+G
Hey little girl, all I wanna see is you getting off.
B minorBm          C majorC       B minorBm      C majorC
Clenching thirst and heavy breath, naked as the night we met,
G+G        C majorC          C majorC  B minorBm A minorAm  G+G  G7G7
You left it up to me I guess but I'm slow on the draw.

Chorus:
       C majorC               G+G
So while the poor boys sit lonesome at the last call
    C majorC              D MajorD
and the shy ones stare down at their toes,
     G+G      C majorC       G+G      C majorC
I'll make way for that woman and the mean kingdom coming,
   D MajorD       C majorC       E minorEm  C majorC
I get tired walking these streets alone.
   D MajorD      C majorC      E minorEm  C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC      G+G
And I call her my Bridge City Rose, yeah, I'll call her my Bridge City Rose.

Interlude:
G+G C majorC E minorEm C majorC
G+G C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G

Verse 3:
  G+G       C majorC        E minorEm        C majorC
The garden on her windowsill, her crystal moons and family stills,
G+G         C majorC          G+G
Jawbone treasures, beatnik thrills and blood-red mulled wine.
G+G          C majorC       E minorEm         C majorC
The sweetgum hanging overhead, with books I bought but never read.
G+G             C majorC        B minorBm   A minorAm  G+G
Can I lay low here, can I stop instead and stay for a while?
     B minorBm        C majorC     B minorBm        C majorC
'Cause I cant remember the last time I wasn't drawn in neon lights.
  G+G        C majorC           C majorC  B minorBm  A minorAm  G+G  G7G7
Say come drink up the water's fine and the whiskey's half off.

Chorus:
        C majorC             G+G
But before you find yourself torn between lovers
     C majorC             D MajorD
or you're stuck wearing yesterday's clothes.
     G+G      C majorC      G+G      C majorC
Best make way for that lady and her sweet spirit breaking
   D MajorD       C majorC    E minorEm  C majorC
Fine glass against any old stone.
    D MajorD       C majorC      E minorEm  C majorC    D MajorD       C majorC      G+G
Yeah I called her my Bridge City Rose, yeah, I called her my Bridge City Rose.

Outro:
