Verse 1:
   A augmentedA
Oh, a warm hello

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

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

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

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

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


Chorus:
    A augmentedA     Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
So if we take off
          E MajorE  E6E6  E MajorE E6E6
You could quit your day job
            D MajorD
We'd call ourselves the Angel Youth
               B minorBm
You'll find us traveling and making tunes

      A augmentedA     Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
But then I think of
        E MajorE   E6E6   E MajorE  E6E6
All the people we've loved
            D MajorD
How they'll be growing older soon
                B minorBm
How it's true for me and you

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

I'm standing still by the windowsill
    B minorBm           E MajorE
Where I once watched the world explode

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

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

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

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


Bridge:
     A augmentedA      Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Oh, is it self-hate?
        E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE E6E6
I wish I was in L.A
         D MajorD
Far from all the roads we knew
           B minorBm
Unworried where we're going through


Chorus:
     A augmentedA    Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
So if we take off
          E MajorE  E6E6  E MajorE E6E6
You could quit your day job
          D MajorD
We'd call upon the Angel Youth
         B minorBm
We're coming to a town near you

      A augmentedA    Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Lonely and outraged
          E MajorE  E6E6   E MajorE E6E6
Guess for now that I'll wait
        D MajorD
For generation Angel Youth
           B minorBm
To point me towards a higher truth


Outro:
      A augmentedA     Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
It's on the off-chance
         E MajorE   E6E6   E MajorE E6E6
We never come to cross hands
            F# minorF#m
'Cause it's too late to not pretend
          D MajorD
And I'd for all of this to end
         E MajorE
Just glad that I could be your friend
