Philadelphia
from I Love You, This is a Robbery by spoonboy

FF -> G+G

A augmentedA
two hours north of the nation's capital,
     E MajorE
i took a break from what would be my final days
                   B minorBm
in a prison of my own making to see a friend who had said,
            D MajorD
"hey come on over," a favorite band,
    E MajorE
and an ex-lover's ex-lover.
   A augmentedA
and ryan said that he liked my company,
     E MajorE
so i didn't leave that night
and stuck around for his birthday.
  B minorBm
we rode out to the tops of the oil cans,
   D MajorD           E MajorE
to a pool in the woods and i jumped in...

A augmentedA -> E MajorE -> D MajorD -> FF

       A augmentedA
perpetually lost and so
i made my way across the zip codes,
E MajorE
sold tapes to the smaller distros,
learned cliches of the drifter's ethos.
B minorBm
learned addiction to new faces:
D MajorD             E MajorE
the pros and cons of being place-less.
           A augmentedA
and my friends seemed stuck.
but i didn't know what to say,
   E MajorE
so i addressed the chorus
and asked each voice individually.
          B minorBm
they all said "i'm doing this for my parents,
i wish i had other choices.
     D MajorD
it's not really what i want,
      E MajorE
but i can't stand to be a disapointment."

A augmentedA -> E MajorE -> D MajorD -> FF

   A#A#
and i wanted to say how at the end of the day
      FF
you're just accountable to your memories.
      C minorCm               FF
and if you can't lament what might have been...
C minorCm             FF
you'll never be a disapointment.
   A#A#
but i couldn't find the words somehow,
wrote down the names of the college towns,
and waved out the window
               FF   D#D#  FF D#D#
as the dots on the map passed by.

  BB
and ryan said that he liked my company,
       F#F#
and though i know i never told him,
well it really meant a lot to me,
   C# minorC#m
and i said i'd make a point to always stop on by.
   E MajorE            F#F#
and i know that i don't, but i think about it every time
     BB    F#F#      E MajorE   G+G
that the greyhound glides past philadelphia.
       BB     F#F#    E MajorE  G+G
and then the greyhound cries for philadelphia.
