Verse 1:
C            G        C     F
Church bells ringing; muted singing
G       F     C   G        C
Carries our exuberance away
    G            C       F    C
Our friends have all but left us
G      F      G           C   Dm  C  Dm
They departed many years ago
                     C  Dm
And they won't come back
        C                  G
No they won't come back no more
 
Chorus:
      Am               G      F
We're hungover in the city of dust
        Am                  G
Let our hearts run round in circles
         F
While we fall apart
      Am               G      F
We're hungover in the city of dust
        Am                 G
Let our minds run round in circles
         F             C    Am F C  Am  C G Am F C G Am
While we figure it all out
 
Verse 2:
C   G        C      F     G
Insolent and out of character
      F          C
We've changed so much
  G C      G       F             C
I barely recognize our formative lives
  G          F          G    C     Dm  C  Dm
Hidden deep, deep, deep underground
                     C  Dm
And they won't come back
     C                  G
They won't come back no more
 
Chorus:
      Am               G      F
We're hungover in the city of dust
        Am                  G
Let our hearts run round in circles
         F
While we fall apart
      Am               G      F
We're hungover in the city of dust
        Am                 G
Let our minds run round in circles
         F             C
While we figure it all out
 
Bridge:
C             G
Feeling moody dark and heavy
Am                 F             C
There's no feeling in my left arm
    G        Am   F
Resonance is far away
C            G
Try to complicate my thinking
Am            F           C
Am I falling, am I sinking
       G     Am    F
Powder in my fingernails
C            G
And the belt wrapped around
   Am                  F            C
My shrinking waist is having trouble
          G        Am          F
Tryin' to keep the damn things up
C               G
Want to write a single letter
Am              F               C
Maybe then I'll feel much better
      G          Am
Until then we'll float
 
Chorus:
             G  F       Am  G  F
We're hungover     --
         Am  G  F       Am  G  F
Yeah, we are    --
          Am G        F       Am G  F
We're hungover in the city of dust
      Am              G       F
We're hungover in the city of dust
           Am                 G
So let our minds run round in circles
         F             C
While we figure it all out
