Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:
E D Bm E A Esus4 A E E6 E E6 F#m D Bm


Verse 1:
   A
Oh, a warm hello

Would be apropos
 F#m          C#m    F#m
We haven't spoke in several weeks

But solitude tends to be the mood
  Bm              E
So you probably won't hear from me

        A
And there was once relief in the changing trees
  F#m      C#m     F#m
The contrails that cut the sky
             F#m
But pre-arranged circumstances change
      Bm         E
And I'd be lying if I said I'm fine

G                    D
Catch her in the switchbacks in the line
         A
Switching back to Central Standard Time

Each day slightly more resigned
E
Trying to make some sense of life


Chorus:
    A     Esus4 A
So if we take off
          E  E6  E E6
You could quit your day job
            D
We'd call ourselves the Angel Youth
               Bm
You'll find us traveling and making tunes

      A     Esus4 A
But then I think of
        E   E6   E  E6
All the people we've loved
            D
How they'll be growing older soon
                Bm
How it's true for me and you


Verse 2:
   A
So I convalesced in the middle west
F#m     C#m     F#m
And fell for Ohio's roads

I'm standing still by the windowsill
    Bm           E
Where I once watched the world explode

       A
So when it's looking dark in your narrative arc
  F#m          C#m  F#m
I'm here and you can talk with me

A hackneyed fool under fascist rule
    E
Wasting days singing about his dreams

G                  D
All of which has lead me to believe
                     A
Earth's a set and life's the movie screen

And every dream that you have in-between
E
They'll fade with every frame you see


Bridge:
     A      Esus4 A
Oh, is it self-hate?
        E E6 E E6
I wish I was in L.A
         D
Far from all the roads we knew
           Bm
Unworried where we're going through


Chorus:
     A    Esus4 A
So if we take off
          E  E6  E E6
You could quit your day job
          D
We'd call upon the Angel Youth
         Bm
We're coming to a town near you

      A    Esus4 A
Lonely and outraged
          E  E6   E E6
Guess for now that I'll wait
        D
For generation Angel Youth
           Bm
To point me towards a higher truth


Outro:
      A     Esus4 A
It's on the off-chance
         E   E6   E E6
We never come to cross hands
            F#m
'Cause it's too late to not pretend
          D
And I'd for all of this to end
         E
Just glad that I could be your friend
