Franklin Avenue chords by Jeremy Messersmith

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Bb
Daylight streaming,
Bbm
On my face,
    F             G7
Prognosis looking grim,
Bb             A    A7
Sudden case of paralysis,
Dm
Just can't move my limbs.

Verse 2:
Bb
Thunder crashing,
Bbm
Lightning flashing,
F               G7
Raindrops in my hair,
Bb              A     A7
But it's not clearing up,
Dm
Better stay in bed.

Chorus:
Bb      F        A       Dm    C
Waiting for that sinking feeling,
Bb            F
It's all that keeps me together,
           A         Dm     C
And I'm so scared to let it unwind,
Bb      F        A        Dm    C  Bb   Bb    A    A7
Waiting for that same old feeling.

Verse 3:
Bb
You're the straight man,
Bbm
I'm the punch line,
F              G7
Life is just a joke,
Bb             A        A7
But look who's laughing now,
Dm
Guess I'll laugh until I choke.

Verse 4:
Bb
Cars crashing,
Bbm
Tires smashing,
F           G7
Franklin Avenue,
Bb              A        A7
Waiting for the dramatic save,
Dm
Nothing else to do.

Chorus:
Bb      F        A       Dm    C
Waiting for that sinking feeling,
Bb            F
It's all that keeps me together,
           A         Dm     C
And I'm so scared to let it unwind,
Bb      F        A        Dm    C
Waiting for that same old feeling.
