Chords

[Intro] | D | G | x2 [Verse 1]
 D
Bobby was a kid from round the town

 G
Kicks pumped up and head held down

D                           G
Underwater more than he was up

           D
He dreamed submarines in bottle green

  G
Imaginary flight machines

         D                                    G
But in blue jean flares he’d bubble like a 7UP
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                   F#m                    Bm
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know

  G                      D/F#                     Em
Shoot it ‘til you feel alive then play one more show
[Chorus]
  Cadd9                  G                      D
Plug into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around

     A
You can’t stop feeling

     Cadd9                   G                 D
The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

         A
And you can’t help healing

      Cadd9            G
They want you and you want to

            D                              A
With their lips on fire and your head unscrewed

          Cadd9                 G                      D     G
But it’s timе to whip another change and hit one morе town
[Verse 2]
 D
Bobby doesn’t know her name

    G
He holds on tightly just the same

     D                                   G
Sometimes one more night is all you need

      D                         G
I met Alice near the Alamo one summer in San Antonio

        D                         G
I remember her, I don’t remember me
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                   F#m                    Bm
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know

        G                  D/F#                    Em
And man anything to feel alive and play one more show
[Chorus]
  Cadd9                  G                      D
Plug into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around

     A
You can’t stop feeling

     Cadd9                   G                 D
The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

         A
And you can’t help healing

      Cadd9            G
They want you and you want to

            D                             A
With their hips on fire and your head unglued

          Cadd9                 G                      D
But it’s timе to whip another change and hit one morе town
[Bridge]
G
Alice knows the secret

      F#m
And she could tell you now

        Em
If you want to

             F
'cause they want you

        C
Do you want to
[Verse 3]
    D
I snake and sparkle, pant and glide

          G
And it’s hard to feel, and I can’t get high

    D                                  G
And I don’t always understand how to smile

          D
Kids get sick of being bottled up

     G
It drags you down until you throw it up

       D                                             G
Gotta get out of the house take a ride on the radio dial
[Pre-Chorus]
    Em                   F#m                    Bm
And everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know

G                       D/F#                 Em
Everything that feels alive is in one more show
[Chorus]
  Cadd9                  G                      D
Plug into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around

     A
You can’t stop feeling

     Cadd9                   G                 D
The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

         A
And you can’t help healing

      Cadd9            G
They want you and you want to

            D                      A
'Cause the kid's so clean with his soul shampoo'd

          Cadd9                 G                      D
And it’s timе to whip another change and hit one morе town

                  Cadd9                 G                      D
Oh yeah til it’s time to whip another change and hit one more town

              Cadd9                 G
Hey man it’s time to whip another change and hit one more town
