[Verse 1]
Em                      G
Walking around at night
                     Am
Fighting my appetite
                              Em
Every kid in cutoffs could be you
                              G
Remember when we used to meet?
                               Am
At the bottom of Mobile Street
                              Em
And do what the broken people do
[Chorus 1]
G                    D
Are you still taking notes?
         Am
The Holy Ghost could get inside you
         C                              G
You'd do whatever you put your mind to
                        D
Will you read me what you wrote?
             Am
When we were locked outside the building
     C
Over encouraged, only children
[Verse 2]
Em                             G
Cold coffee on the fire escape
                             Am
We bet it all on a demo tape
                                   Em
And we still had something left to steal
                                G
Remember when we took too much?
                                   Am
To get a little of the human touch
                          Em
Hand to mouth and reel to reel
[Chorus 2]
G                    D
Are you still taking notes?
     Am
Hydrocodone in your backpack
            C                              G
Maybe these words will hold the beast back
                         D
Will you read me what you wrote?
          Am
The one I said you stole from Dylan
       C
Over encouraged, only children
[Interlude]
Em* G* Am* Em (x2)
[Bridge]
C         C/B           Am
"Heaven's wasted on the dead"
                           C
That's what your mama said
                    C/B           Am           C
When the hearse was idling in the parking lot
             C/B                  Am
She said you thought the world of me
                         C
And you were glad to see
             C/B          D
They finally let me be an astronaut
[Solo]
G D Am C (x2)
[Chorus 3]
G                    D
Are you still taking notes?
              Am
Will you have anyone to talk to?
       C                                 G
Castle walls that you could walk through
                          D
And do the dead believe in ghosts?
           Am
Or are you lost in some old building
            C
With over encouraged, only children
[Outro]
