Verse 1:
D         Em7           G
  Down on Colfax again
D                    Em7                    G
  Lights all shining    on the mess we made
D               Em7
  Damn the neon
damn the rain
Bm7                G
  Damn the dollar, keep the change
      E7  N.C.
We're broke but we're breathing

Chorus:
G                     D
Running clean but I'm out of steam
Bm7               G
Burning late like kerosene
G                       D
  And when there ain't enough to count it
    Em7            Dm
Get up on the roof
       G
You're painting houses
E7  N.C.
  For as long as you can take it


Interlude:
D   G  D


Verse 2:
D                 Em7
  Time's creeping past the quarter moon
Bm7                    G
  If it takes forever
I guess we'll be there soon
D                 Em7
  And still you hum that old tune
 Bm7                 G
"I Don't Wanna Talk About It"
D                      Em7
  At this hour there's nowhere left to go
Bm7                  G
  Walk a mile in the dirty snow
D              Em7                     Bm7  G
  Hitch a ride    to the Broken Arrow


Chorus:
G                     D
Running clean but I'm out of steam
Bm7             G
Flying past the factories
G                             D
  They say a new day's coming   and I don't doubt it
    Em7               Dm
I'm stuck on the roof
      G
Still painting houses
G                    D
Tears run down, they overflow
Bm7           G
Coming out in stereo
G                 D
  So turn it up a little louder
   Em7           Dm
As living proof
         G
The fire ain't out yet
