#When these chords appear in the verse
#Play the corresponding riff
E A E
Shake down 1979
A E
Cool kids never had the time
A F#5
On a live wire right up off the street
A5 E
You and I should meet
A E
Junebug skipping like a stone
A E
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
A F#5 A5
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
#Chorus
#Just play the chords here
E A
And I don't even care
E
To shake these zipper blues
A
And we don't even know
E
Just where our bones will rest
A
To dust I guess
F#m B E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
#On last E, Start the riff again
#Verse
A E
Double cross the vacant and the bored
A E
They're not sure just what we have in store
A F#5 A5
Morphine city slipping dues down to see
#Chorus
E A
That we don't even care
E
As restless as we are
A
And we feel the pull
E
In the land of a thousand guilts
A B
And we poured cement lamented and assured
C#m A
To the lights and towns below
B C#m A
Faster than the speed of sound
B C#m A
Faster than we thought we'd go
F#m B E A E
Beneath the sound of hope
#Verse
A E
Justine never knew the rules
A E
Hung down with the freaks and gouls
A E
No appologies ever need be made
A F#5 A5
I know you better than you fake it to see
#Chorus
E A
And I don't even care
E
To shake these zipper blues
A
And we don't even know
E
Just where our bones will rest
A
To dust I guess
F#m B E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
#Verse
A E
Street heats the urgency of now
A E
Can't you see there's no-one around.
#End on E chord
