A F#m7 On a live wire right up off the street B Emaj7 E You and I should meet. [Verse 2] A Emaj7 E Junebug skipping like a stone A Emaj7 E With headlights pointed at the dawn. A We were sure we'd never see F#m7 B An end to it all. [Chorus 1] E Emaj7 Amaj7 E And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues, Emaj7 Amaj7 E And we don't know just where our bones will rest Emaj7 Amaj7 To dust I guess F#m7 B Emaj7 E Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below. A Emaj7 E [Verse 3] A Emaj7 E Double cross the vacant and the bored, A Emaj7 E They're not sure just what we have in store. A F# A Morphine city slippin' dues down to see: [Chorus 2] E Emaj7 Amaj7 E That we don't even care as restless as we are, Emaj7 Amaj7 E We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts. Emaj7 Amaj7 And poured cement, B Lamented and assured. [Bridge] C#m A To the lights and towns below, B C#m A Faster than the speed of sound, B C#m A F#m7 B Emaj7 E Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope. [Verse 4] A Emaj7 E Justine never knew the rules, A Emaj7 E Hung down with the freaks and ghouls. A Emaj7 E No a-pologies ever need be made, A F#m7 B I know you better than you fake it to see: [Chorus 3] E Emaj7 Amaj7 E That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues, Emaj7 Amaj7 E And we don't know just where our bones will rest Emaj7 Amaj7 To dust I guess, F#m B Emaj7 E Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below. [Outro] A Emaj7 E The street heats the urgency of now. A E As you see there's no one around.
