Alright, so - I know this isn't a CO&MVB song, but there's no solo Conor band here
to put this in.
This is my first tab. I did my best to work out the chords from the main youtube
video that's going around of Conor playing this and You Are Your Mom's, which is
For the lyrics I did my best to work out what they were from a bootleg with better audio.
NOTE: There are a number of places where the lyrics are most likely wrong (but I
did pretty well with the U.S city names seeing as I'm from Australia) so I'm sorry.
Please comment and lemme know how I did :) email issues or suggestions to

D E7 A Kick, you know you're still a kid D E7 A And your diets too full of additives. D E7 A F# Passed out on the couch with ashes in your mouth Bm7 E7 Dreaming that you're hopping the fence. D E7 A This world must have it out for you D E7 A From the shores of Montauk up to Malibu. D E7 A F# The trappings of a name that you never could escape, Bm7 E7 These people want to live in the past. Bm7 E7 Some golden age that they never had. Bm I thought we lost that Camelot E7 I thought we lost that Camelot A7 Some children story we forgot, F* Bm E7 Grew old so long ago. D E7 A Kick its hard to make a friend D E7 A In a world that's this cruel and partisan. D E7 A F# But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while, Bm7 E7 Live outside oblivions lense. D E7 A Someday you'll have a fine divorce, D E7 A and a cemetery plot in Hyannisport. D E7 A F# Next time you close your eyes on that helicopter ride, Bm7 E7 I hope you see it isn't your fault. Bm7 E7 I hope you know it isn't your fault. Bm I thought we shot that Camelot E7 I thought they shot that Camelot A7 Whoever shot this movie stop F* Bm E7 B wrote; said the show must go. - This line is probably the most wrong
FILL: A A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)
A Lying in the office on an old chaise-lounge Bm Listening to the doctor drone. D Dm No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears's off, A7 E7 Answer every question 'no'. A Hiding in the hammock with the shades pulled down Bm Wondering if the story's broke. D Dm Tragedy is profit once the word gets out, A7 E7 Tabloids at the country store. A Searching on the tables once the bar's closed down, Bm said somebody stole your phone. D Dm Now there's no-one to talk to but these trust-fund drunks, A7 E7 You should have brought a chaperone. A Well Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count, Bm Friendship makes you paranoid. D Dm I don't believe in curses, but I just might now. A7 E7 I never really had a choice. F* Dm Just like all your broken toys.
REPEAT FILL
D E7 A Well Kick, you know this life is rich. D E7 A But pleasure's not the same as happiness. D E7 A F# But if you don't collide with the traffic in your mind, Bm7 E7 I think you'll find your way out of this. Bm7 E7 I hope you find your way out of this.
REPEAT FILL
