🎸 Verse 1:

G+G             B minorBm
From the corner of 3rd and Washington
Csus2Csus2          Gadd4
You can't see where your brother went
  B minorBm
Out somewhere past the beat cops
  Csus2Csus2              Gadd4
And beautiful women who work for the government
     G+G     G+G
They walk by in air-conditioned tunnels
     BB
That arc high above the street
    C majorC
While I sweat in my hot coffee
  G+G
And daydream about how we might meet

G+G B minorBm Csus2Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 2:

   G+G         B minorBm
Your mother asked for a picture
  Csus2Csus2       Gadd4
She says "today's your birthday"
    B minorBm
In some strung out western stutter
    Csus2Csus2       Gadd4
Making all the world her ashtray
  G+G      G+G
She adjusts her aviators
    BB
With an absent shaking hand
     Csus2Csus2
Tilts the camera forty-five degrees
  G+G
And calls out modeling commands

G+G B minorBm Csus2Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 3:

    G+G       B minorBm
When we used to Go to parties
      Csus2Csus2       Gadd4
You'd spend an hour before the mirror
    B minorBm
And I'd drink your gin
          Csus2Csus2    Gadd4
And ask about your high school souvenirs
    G+G      G+G
Tacked on the wall above the bed
  BB
An old Inkjet collage
       Csus2Csus2
But you were never much for talking
   G+G
So I knelt to your mirage


G+G B minorBm Csus2Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 4:

   G+G           B minorBm
We'd walk the three blocks westbound
    Csus2Csus2     Gadd4
In the moonlit Philly fall
   B minorBm
And the party would be grand
     Csus2Csus2         Gadd4
All our friends would grin with pride
G+G            G+G
All our friends would be so drunk
        BB
And have such pleasant things to say
    Csus2Csus2
And at last, we'd see each other
    G+G
In the way that we had dreamed to be seen


G+G B minorBm Csus2Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 5:

   G+G            B minorBm
Those nights your house kept secrets
   Csus2Csus2     Gadd4
We'd stumble up the stairs
  B minorBm
My hands tore through your records
      Csus2Csus2       Gadd4
While your hands unpinned your hair
  G+G        G+G
The both of us still green enough
        BB
To remove the other's clothes
  Csus2Csus2
A augmentedA quiet signal of devotion
     G+G
That I A minorAm happy to have known
