Alexisonfire – Emerald Street (Guitar)

D#m
Pregnant teens on the Barton Street bus

D#m
Homeless people living off crust

D#m
And there's a beat-up town car - it's starting to rust

D#m
Hard soles are kicking up dust

D#m
Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50's

D#m
To the north, all the small town outcasts are now the big city bourgeoisie

A#m
All the boys in the halfway houses

B
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

D#m                    C#                             B
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on

D#m                            C#                    B
We'll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on

D#m
The desperate, downtown stealing bikes

C#5                   F#  E  B
Drunks in the village are picking fights

D#m
So, police line the streets to read them their rights

C#5            F#  E  B
No controlling hot summer nights

D#m                                    C#5                   F#  E   B
The sun goes down on the edge of town, at the end of everyday

D#m
We sit and watch the stack, on fire, to the east across the bay

A#m
All the boys in the halfway houses

B
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

D#m                    C#5                             B
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on

D#m                             C#5                  B
We'll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
