Chords

Transcribed by Mark Sickmiller [Intro] D G [Verse 1]
D
Come outside and we'll take a walk

G
Laugh out loud, no one will talk

D                             G
Go barefoot and never feel obscene

          D
There's a girl over there by the window sill

       G
And it looks like she got some time to kill

             D
And she says, "Nothing really matters"

               G
And what if it did?
[Chorus 1]
          A
But don't think that it's so strange

          D                 G
Yeah, and don't act so surprised

            A                   G                     D
Well, she's quite content in a State Street state of mind
[Verse 2]
          D
There's a house next door where they never sleep

            G
And there's music coming from up the street

          D                                   G
It's the song you know and so you sing the tune

       D                         G
And we try to talk above the den about the world and the shape it's in

             D                                        G
And then we laugh 'cause nothing seems to matter today
[Chorus 2]
          A
But don't think that that it's so strange

      D                G
And worthless in your eyes

             A                  G                     D
Well, we're quite content in a State Street state of mind
[Bridge]
         Bm             G
And the words speak the joy

                   F#m
That underlies the pain

    G
The pain

    A
The pain

                    D
The pain
[Verse 3]
      D
Well, come outside and we'll take a walk

     G
The years fly by, the plans trail off

        D                                    G
And you think of a time before you lost your way

        D
And the music played and the man displayed

        G                                     D
And the girl over there by the window would say

                          G
Nothing really matters anyway
[Chorus 3]
          A
You dont think it's so strange

            D               G
Yeah, you don't act so surprised

             A                    G                  D
Well, she's quite content in a State Street state of mind

           A                  G                    D
And he's quite content in a State Street state of mind

            A                 G                    D
Well, we're all content in a State Street state of mind
