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

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

Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

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


Bridge:

G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
and do nothing with it


Chorus:

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


Outro:

G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
