The Front Bottoms - Historic Cemetery
Super cool song.



Capo 1


[Hook]
             C            G                C
Just you and me getting high and hanging out
        G                C
getting high and messing around
        G                             Em
getting high and trying to figure it out

Em G C Am x2


[Verse]
            Em                    G                C          Am
There was a sacrificial ritual inside my room last night
                     Em                  G                     C       Am
It was held there in secret, hard to see anything in the candlelight
             Em             G              C   Am
Now there is melted wax all over my floor
                 Em                G                      C          Am
and the scent of incense is rising up from underneath the door


[Verse]
                 Em                G                    C     Am
Now maybe it was not as serious as I am making it sound
             C            G                C
Just you and me getting high and hanging out
        G                C
getting high and messing around
        G                           (Em)
getting high and trying to figure it out


Em F#m G C


[Verse]
           Em             G
I feel the burn, my tired feet
            C              Am
not much to go, a few more streets
          Em         G
See your faces, all I need
     C                     Am
my one and only my sweet relief
              Em             G
And you would think I never had it
             C                   Am
the way that this world mocks my magic


[Hook]
             C     G
But it was all for you
       C          G
to continue to be able
       C           G        (Em)
to continue to be able right now

Em F#m G C Bm
Em F#m G C D


[Chorus]
             C            G                C
Just you and me getting high and hanging out
        G                C
getting high and messing around
        G                            C
getting high and trying to figure it out
                  G
I don't need your reasons anymore
C                 G
 don't need your reasons anymore
C          G      C       (Em)
need your reasons anymore

Em F#m G G


[Bridge]
         Em           F#m
I put my wrong finger in the hot wax
G                    G
now I can't play for you like that
Em                 F#m
the last thing I need is true
           G
would be a stupid excuse for a reason to fight back
Em            F#m                   G
I cant begin, begin to tell you the way it all felt
     C
when everything fell through

Em F#m G C D


[Ending]
Alternate between C and G

You moved to New York to meet a beautiful girl
and drink fancy cocktails without a care in the world
But you got scared they're all gonna find someone else
So you find one and tell it things you're dying to tell
We got high as hell, and I forget how it went
It was a song about love at the time it made sense
When the side ended we just layed there in bed
You would have fallen asleep but I stayed up and read
I made a list of everything I said I never meant
Considered all the things I never said but I digress
I got dressed kissed your forehead and left
You called me when you woke but I was sleeping off the meds
