Intro:
E minorEm A minorAm G+G D MajorD x3
E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD

G+G      A minorAm      C majorC
Charlemagne shakes in the streets
G+G      A minorAm      C majorC
Gideon makes love to the suites
   E minorEm      A minorAm
and Holly's not invincible
  FF         C majorC
in fact she's in the hospital
  E minorEm       A minorAm      D MajorD
not far from that bar where we met
    E minorEm     A minorAm   G+G   D MajorD
on that first night

E minorEm A minorAm G+G D MajorD x3
E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD

G+G         A minorAm      C majorC
Charlemagne pulls street corner scams
   G+G       A minorAm        C majorC
and Gideon's got a pipe made from a Pringles can
 E minorEm    A minorAm      FF       C majorC
Holly's insatiable, she still looks incredible
    E minorEm          A minorAm      D MajorD
But she don't look like that same girl we met

    E minorEm      A minorAm
on that first night
       G+G      D MajorD        E minorEm A minorAm G+G D MajorD
when she was golden with floorlight and beer
    E minorEm      A minorAm
on that first night
   G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm   A minorAm D MajorD
she slept like she'd never been scared


Piano Solo


     E minorEm     A minorAm
And then last night
      G+G      D MajorD       E minorEm    A minorAm G+G D MajorD
She said "Words alone never could save us."
     E minorEm     A minorAm
And then last night
   G+G       D MajorD       E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD
She cried and she told us about Jesus

E minorEm      A minorAm
Holly's inconsolable
FF         C majorC
Unhinged and uncontrollable
      E minorEm      A minorAm     D MajorD
'Cause we can't get as high as we got

PAUSE

on that first night

D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC x3

D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC
Boys and girls in America x5

D MajorD

...              E minorEm
Don't bother talking to the guys
      C majorC    D MajorD
with their hot soft eyes
         E minorEm   C majorC   D MajorD
you know they're already taken
                E minorEm      C majorC     D MajorD
Don't even speak to all those sequencer and beats boys

      E minorEm      C majorC       D MajorD
when they kiss they spit white noise (White Noise) x7


Gorgeous song, enjoy.
