Why Can't Every City Be Portland chords by The Doubleclicks

Chords with lyrics

G+G
Why can't every city be Portland
     C majorC
Why can't everywhere be like here
     D MajorD
It's the place that I like,

All the folks unicycle
    G+G
They're carrying bottles of beer


     G+G
Why can't every city be PDX
      C majorC
Where we're not unemployed; we've got our own projects
   D MajorD
We're keepin' it weird

And every guy with a beard
   G+G
Has a few pairs of horn-rimmed specs

   BB
It's not our original home sweet home,
    E minorEm
But we do like the Romans,

'Cause we're sort of in Rome
  A augmentedA
We bike in the lane

Treating cars with disdain,
                 D MajorD
And pretend we don't know that it always rains


     G+G
Why can't every city be Portland
     C majorC
Where the irony is big as our trees
    D MajorD
It's no longer intriguin'

That everyone's vegan
  G+G
And nobody owns a TV


     G+G
Why can't every space be Portlandia's place
   C majorC
Where even the lawyers are pierced on their face
      D MajorD
Where we'll all DIY

Till the day that we die
    G+G
And we live at a comfortable pace

   BB
It's not our original home sweet home,
    E minorEm
But we do like the Romans,

'Cause we're sort of in Rome
       A augmentedA
If you've got kombucha, we'll try it

If it's on Craigslist, we'll buy it
                     D MajorD
And if you find a new neighborhood, we'll gentrify it


     G+G
Why can't every city be Portland
     C majorC
Where we don't know how lucky we are
    D MajorD
We buy booze without tax

And we hop on the MAX
   G+G
For a cheap ride down to the bar


     G+G
Why can't every old stone be this temperate zone
     C majorC
Where our future as grown-ups is sort of postponed
     D MajorD
We might move to L.A.

Or Seattle someday
  C majorC               G+G
