Intro:
Em9Em9 Gmaj7Gmaj7 C majorC Em9Em9 (x2)

Verse 1:
Em9Em9
 Walking around at night,
Gmaj7Gmaj7
 Fighting my appetite
C majorC                Em9Em9
 Every kid in cutoffs could be you.

 Remember when we used to meet,
Gmaj7Gmaj7
 The bottom of Mobile Street,
C majorC              Em9Em9
 Do what the broken people do.

Chorus 1:
G+G            D MajorD
 Are you still taking notes?
      E minorEm
The Holy Ghost could get inside you
      C majorC
And do whatever he put your mind to.
G+G               D MajorD
 Will you read me what you wrote
     E minorEm
We were locked outside the building
     C majorC
Over-encouraged only children

Verse 2:
Em9Em9
 Cold coffee on the fire escape
Gmaj7Gmaj7
 Bet it all on a demo tape
C majorC                    Em9Em9
 But you still had something left to steal.

 Remember when we took too much
Gmaj7Gmaj7
 Get a little of the human touch
C majorC              Em9Em9
 Hand to mouth and reel to reel.

Chorus 2:
G+G            D MajorD
 Are you still taking notes?
   E minorEm
Hydrocodone in your backpack
       C majorC
Maybe these words will hold the beast back.
G+G               D MajorD
 Will you read me what you wrote?
      E minorEm
The one I said you stole from Dylan
     C majorC
Over-encouraged only children.

Interlude 1:
Em9Em9 Gmaj7Gmaj7 C majorC Em9Em9 (x2)

Bridge:
C majorC       B minorBm      A minorAm
 "Heaven's wasted on the dead.”

That's what your Mama said
C majorC           B minorBm      A minorAm
 And the hearse was idling in the parking lot.
C majorC        B minorBm         A minorAm
 She said you thought the world to me

And you were glad to see it
C majorC       B minorBm     D MajorD
 You finally let me be an astronaut.

Interlude 2:
G+G D MajorD C majorC (x2)

Chorus 3:
G+G            D MajorD
 Are you still taking notes?
      E minorEm
Do you have anyone to talk to
    C majorC
Castle walls that you would walk through.
G+G               D MajorD
 And do the dead believe in ghosts?
      E minorEm
Or are you lost in some old building
       C majorC
With over-encouraged only children.

Outro:
