Verse 1:
G                  Gmaj7
Smoky walls, dusty halls, no one calls
            Em7
And all the window plants are dying -la la la la..-
G                            Gmaj7
She'd talk it up, half empty cup, half-hearted love
            Em7
Half of the time halfway through crying -ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh-
          C
She don't live here by herself
         C6
Sleeping in the bed she's made
        A
Reading books about self help
        A9
Working late on Saturdays
          Am                    Am7b5
'Less she got something at stake

Verse 2:
G                            Gmaj7
For heaven's sake, keep him awake, make no mistake
              Em7
He break down daily with no warning
           G                             Gmaj7
When you're 20 years old, do as you're told, get bought and sold
                 Em7
Its coldest early in the morning
         C
And he's living on Tenth Street
        C6
Getting home right around dawn
      A
Every night of every week
              A9
He's proving everybody wrong
        Am
Any day now, it won't be long
   Am7b5
So listen when I say

Chorus:
G
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
G7
Give 'em all what they came here for
C
Never been done the same before
Am7b5
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
G
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
G7
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
C
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Am7b5
Talking up what I came here for

Verse 3:
         G                              Gmaj7
I've been holding my own, my rag and bone, lock up alone
           Em7
I don't forget to double check it, now, no no no no…
     G                           Gmaj7
And I learned to rely on me and I, straighten my tie
            Em7
Lace my own boots zip my own jacket
          C
Because I did the best I could
      C6
I got taken down again
          A
But I got fire in my blood
      A9
I got sugar on my skin
          Am
And I got nowhere to begin
  Am7b5
So listen and I'll say

Chorus:
G
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
G7
Give 'em all what they came here for
C
Never been done the same before
Am7b5
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
G
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
G7
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
C
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Am7b5
Talking up what I came here for
