Verse:
(nc)
Chipped paint; Carol's gonna turn into dust.
(nc)
An old saint; a silver surface worn into rust
(nc)
From long nights in a neighborhood I started to trust.
                 B                                               B 
To you, it's just Scotch Tape and a heightened sense of cowardly pride,
                                             B
a u-lock (some entitlement to keep by your side),
                                       B 
a felt pen, a detour from your morning ride
                      B
And what's left behind with your note.
                                    B 
It's the reason I'll be running so late.
                                               B
a fine point to write off what I'll draw on today
                                          B 
And draft out the story line to acting my age. To which I say:

Chorus:
B     B         Esus2
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
                                 B           B        Esus2
Have you ever felt your perfect teeth (woah woah woah woah)
Esus2
Make a connection with Chicago concrete?

Interlude (x2): B B

Verse:
B                                               B 
It's messed up. You always can become what you hate.
                                            B
It's bad luck or intention for attention's sake.
                                                         B 
It's so xxxxxx that you couldn't say this straight to my face. To which I say:

Chorus:
B     B         Esus2
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
                                 B           B        Esus2
Have you ever felt your perfect teeth (woah woah woah woah)
Esus2
Make a connection with Chicago concrete?

Bridge:
B               B                Esus2
Do gears change as often as the seasons?
                        B  
Is there a cycle set to breathe in?
             B                 Esus2
Is this the part of me I'll forget?
Esus2
a chained fence, the cement
Esus2
Where a casual promise can become a threat.
