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.

"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.

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.
