Intro: Ebmaj7 Eb Ab Ebmaj7 Eb

Verse 1:
Ab                          Ebmaj7   Eb
  Shakedown nineteen seven nine,
Ab                          Ebmaj7   Eb
  Cool kids never have the time.
    Ab                            Fm7
On a live wire right up off the street
        Bb        Ebmaj7   Eb
You and I should meet.

Verse 2:
Ab                         Ebmaj7   Eb
  Junebug skipping like a stone
Ab                                Ebmaj7   Eb
  With headlights pointed at the dawn.
Ab
  We were sure we'd never see
   Fm7      Bb
An end to it all.

Chorus 1:
    Eb       Ebmaj7 Abmaj7                      Eb
And I don't even  care to shake these zipper blues,
    Ebmaj7    Abmaj7                          Eb
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
   Ebmaj7  Abmaj7
To dust I guess
                Fm7            Bb       Ebmaj7   Eb
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

Interlude: Ab Ebmaj7 Eb

Verse 3:
Ab                                 Ebmaj7   Eb
  Double cross the vacant and the bored,
Ab                                       Ebmaj7   Eb
  They're not sure just what we have in store.
Ab                         F          Ab
  Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:

Chorus 2:
     Eb        Ebmaj7 Abmaj7                  Eb
That we don't even  care as restless as we are,
   Ebmaj7    Abmaj7                          Eb
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts.
    Ebmaj7    Abmaj7
And poured cement,
               Bb
Lamented and assured.

Bridge:
                  Cm     Ab
To the lights and towns below,
Bb               Cm      Ab
Faster than the speed of sound,
Bb              Cm          Ab    Fm7      Bb        Ebmaj7   Eb
Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope.

Verse 4:
Ab                        Ebmaj7   Eb
  Justine never knew the rules,
Ab                               Ebmaj7   Eb
  Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.
    Ab                      Ebmaj7   Eb
No a-pologies ever need be made,
Ab                            Fm7       Bb
  I know you better than you fake it to see:

Chorus 3:
     Eb        Ebmaj7 Abmaj7                      Eb
That we don't even  care to shake these zipper blues,
    Ebmaj7    Abmaj7                          Eb
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
   Ebmaj7  Abmaj7
To dust I guess,
                Fm             Bb       Ebmaj7   Eb
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

Outro:
Ab                                 Ebmaj7   Eb
  The street heats the urgency of now.
Ab                            Eb
  As you see there's no one around.
