I Hope I Scare People On Public Transport chords by The Smith Street Band

Chords with lyrics

Intro:

I hope I scare people on public transport,
no shoes, my eyes rolling back into my head,
I fell down the steps of the tram at the stop
where I used to get off to fall into bed with you.


Verse:

G+G                C majorC
But now it's just a long, long, lonely walk home.
E minorEm           C majorC
Edgy, wild eyes trying hard to stay strong,
G+G                C majorC
Traversing the streets where the dogs and your old neighbours bark at me
E minorEm            C majorC
from behind fences that I swear are too small,
G+G            C majorC
I miss the taste of the city asphalt
E minorEm              C majorC
and I miss the smell of your freshly washed hair,
G+G            C majorC
And I miss the times we slept under bridges,
E minorEm                  C majorC
bummed cigarettes from strangers and no one else mattered
G+G              C majorC
Today my mother flies out to Shanghai
  E minorEm                 C majorC
and today my father surely will catch me,
  E minorEm             C majorC            G+G               C majorC
And today my sister will go to school and forget me, I wish I could tell her just how much I cared,

Chorus:

G+G          C majorC
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,
E minorEm               A augmentedA
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,
G+G
And those heavy blankets
C majorC
and that shitty, little plastic fan
E minorEm               C majorC
and the way you had no idea who I am


Verse 2:

G+G        C majorC
Everything is a fucking eye strain
E minorEm                 C majorC
and I can't see my legs through the piss and the rain,
G+G                 C majorC
And I hope to God that I can still spit, because
E minorEm         C majorC
fingers crossed our paths will cross again someday,
G+G               C majorC
And the train wires circle the planned out city centre
E minorEm               C majorC
like vultures coming in for the kill,

Bridge:

G+G
We're gonna take your money
C majorC
We're gonna take your money
E minorEm
We're gonna take your money
C majorC
and do nothing with it


Chorus:

G+G          C majorC
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,
E minorEm               A augmentedA
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,
G+G
And those heavy blankets
C majorC
and that shitty, little plastic fan
E minorEm               C majorC
and the way you had no idea who I am


Outro:

G+G
We're gonna take your money
C majorC
We're gonna take your money
E minorEm
We're gonna take your money
C majorC
We're gonna take your money
G+G
We're gonna take your money
C majorC
We're gonna take your money
E minorEm
We're gonna take your money
C majorC
