🎸 Verse 1:

G                          Bm
From the corner of 3rd and Washington
Csus2                    Gadd4
You can't see where your brother went
    Bm
Out somewhere past the beat cops
    Csus2                            Gadd4
And beautiful women who work for the government
          G         G
They walk by in air-conditioned tunnels
         B
That arc high above the street
        C
While I sweat in my hot coffee
    G
And daydream about how we might meet

G Bm Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 2:

     G                  Bm
Your mother asked for a picture
    Csus2              Gadd4
She says "today's your birthday"
        Bm
In some strung out western stutter
       Csus2             Gadd4
Making all the world her ashtray
    G           G
She adjusts her aviators
        B
With an absent shaking hand
          Csus2
Tilts the camera forty-five degrees
    G
And calls out modeling commands


G Bm Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 3:

        G             Bm
When we used to Go to parties
            Csus2              Gadd4
You'd spend an hour before the mirror
        Bm
And I'd drink your gin
                   Csus2       Gadd4
And ask about your high school souvenirs
       G           G
Tacked on the wall above the bed
   B
An old Inkjet collage
             Csus2
But you were never much for talking
      G
So I knelt to your mirage


G Bm Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 4:

     G                      Bm
We'd walk the three blocks westbound
       Csus2          Gadd4
In the moonlit Philly fall
      Bm
And the party would be grand
          Csus2                 Gadd4
All our friends would grin with pride
G                       G
All our friends would be so drunk
               B
And have such pleasant things to say
        Csus2
And at last, we'd see each other
        G
In the way that we had dreamed to be seen


G Bm Csus2 Gadd4 x2


🎸 Verse 5:

      G                       Bm
Those nights your house kept secrets
      Csus2         Gadd4
We'd stumble up the stairs
    Bm
My hands tore through your records
            Csus2              Gadd4
While your hands unpinned your hair
    G                G
The both of us still green enough
                B
To remove the other's clothes
   Csus2
A quiet signal of devotion
          G
That I Am happy to have known
