The chords are G A F# Bm G A Bm throughout the whole song
[Verse 1]
G A F# Bm Born from hippies back in 1969 G A Bm I was bored by 1992 G A F# Bm I walked into a recruitment office a year before that G A Bm They said "Son, we’ve been waiting for you" G A F# Bm Discharged from the Gulf War the very same year G A Bm I came home with a carton or two G A F# Bm Of cigarettes and mixtapes and bullets from a gun G A Bm That my dead best friend never did use
[Chorus]
G A F# Bm Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you G A Bm Let your sweaty embrace open wide G A F# Bm Cause Atlanta, I’m falling like most people do G A F# G A Bm G A Bm And I need all your ground to survive
[Verse 2]
G A F# Bm Wasted and downtrodden, only in vain G A Bm I cried myself blind at the sight G A F# Bm Of the old shopping center where we used to ride G A Bm Now condos as sterile as I G A F# Bm So I bought me an old Airstream for three thousand bucks G A Bm From a drug dealer I used to owe G A F# Bm And I thought to myself as I slept off a high G A Bm The irony is starting to show
[Chorus]
G A F# Bm Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you G A Bm Let your sweaty embrace open wide G A F# Bm Cause Atlanta, I’m falling like some people do G A F# G A Bm G A Bm And I need all your ground to survive
[Verse 3]
G A F# Bm Drove out to Asheville ‘cause that’s where you were G A Bm Where you married into money and pills G A F# Bm And I wanted so bad to be good with you now G A Bm But the fact is, I never will G A F# Bm Because some become lovers because of the sex G A Bm And some you know, they just become friends G A F# Bm In our case I just became bad at it all G A N.C. And I never got good at it again
[Chorus]
G A F# Bm Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you G A Bm Let your sweaty embrace open wide G A F# Bm Cause Atlanta, I’m suffocating like some people do G A F# G A Bm G A Bm And I need all your air to survive
