Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) This is a dumbed down version to sing along to simple chord shapes. The original is in A, while this is in C keep that in mind! Thus with capo at 9th you could play those chords to the recording. Intro: Em D Em C Em D C (x2) Verse 1: Em D Em C Left uninspired by the crust of railroad earth Em D C It touched the lead to the pages of your manuscript Em D Em C Em I took my thumb off the concrete and saved up all my strength D C To hammer pillars for a picket fence Em D Em C It wasn't quite what it seemed, a lack of pleasantries Em D C My able body isn't what it used to be Em D Em C I must admit, I was charmed by your advances Em D C Your advantage left me helplessly into you
Chorus 1: C D Em D C Talking how the group had begun to splinter D Em D And I can taste your lipstick on the filter Interlude: Em D Em C Em D C Verse 2: Em D Em C I tried my best to keep my distance from your dress Em D C But call-response overturns convictions every time Em D Em C My memory cannot recall a wave of alcohol Em D C We shared a cigarette and shaved the hours off Chorus 2: C D Em D C Talking how the group had begun to splinter D Em D C And I can taste your lipstick on the filter D Em D C Lushing with the hallway congregation D Em D My best judgment signed its resignation Outro: C Em C I rushed this, we moved too fast G Trips into the guest room C Em C I rushed this, we moved too fast G Tripps into the guest room C Em C G C Em C G
