Verse 1:
Em
Threading the skyway, checking out my speed
D                           A
I passed the casino and the burning steel beach
Em
I felt a panic, I was on the edge
D                             A
I'm from the country, girl, I love to wake the dead

Em7
Got to the city, bought a heart-shaped key and
D                                  A
Slept through the screening, but I bought the DVD
Em
I stayed up late for the satanic service
D                            A
Three fucking weddings and a birthday, holy shit

Verse 2:
Em
When I saw the shadow of the boy with wings, I
D                                A
Swear I could tell that you were pulling on the strings
Em
Turning the screw I waited on the stairs, and
D                          A
Stood there for ages but I guess no one was there
Em
Took a walk around the haunted halls, and
D                           A
Stared at the flora and the blood smeared on the walls
Em7
Met a man who said he loved too deeply
D                            A                   Em
His name was Johnny Five and he looked just like me


Chorus:
Em                   D
Johnny likes Crooked Rain
A                        Em
Johnny had the strangest day

Push the Sky Away
A                    Em
Johnny can't stay in shape
                    D
Johnny was a stupid kid
A                      Em
With bite marks on his lips
                     D
Beautiful, young and free
A                   Em
Funny and just like me


Verse 3:
Em
I got off work and went to see a movie

Starring Kurt Russell at the Logan, Halloween

Jamie Lee Curtis and the Nightmare on Elm Street

Michael Myers was an Illinois kid
D                          A
So he's a country boy, and I'm his country queen
Em
But Halloween was filmed in California
D                           A              Em
And Laurie Strode has never been to Venice Beach


Chorus:
Em                   D
Unlike me, she can't dream
A                     Em
Laurie doesn't get to leave
                      D
The sunshine and palm trees
A                     Em
Haddonfield, Hallow's Eve

Verse 4:
Em
Back home on Broadway, everything moves slowly
D                         A
My mother always tried to make her family proud
Em
Talked to my sister and we drove through Holly
D                               A
The church is silent 'cause the parish house burned down
Em
Drove out to commerce, where we watched the sunset
D                         A
On Union Lake and then we smoked all George's weed
Em
Everyone's always trying to do small town shit
D                           A           Em
We hit the liquor store and went to KFC


Chorus:
Em                 D
And when I went to bed
  A                        Em
I pondered what the shadow said
                D
Six is the holy hand
A                     Em
Seven is the circle's end
                   D
Three is the lucky son
A               Em
Two the opposition
                   D
Four is a laughing death
A              E       Em
Four and four, eight
