Am Em G     C     Am    Em D G
Aw     it's dark outside

Am Em G     C         Am        G C D
I've   been trying to get a ride

         Am Em G  Am    Em G D
While my body waits, my body waits

C  C/B  Am  Em  G  G/B  C  C/B
  America       warm my face

C  C/B  Am  Em  G  G/B  C
  I've been trying  to turn the page
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em            G          Am C
   Once I was a little boy,

Em          D       G Am
Staring at my shoes

Em        G        C               Am      Em   G D
You came along and found me in the chicken coop

    C                Am
But time takes over, I can't say when

C                D
Time takes over, may we do it again
[Chorus]
                 G         D       Am
Take me to the beachhead let's go over

              C            Am           D
All of those rocks at the end of the road

                     G            D         Am       D         Em
And take me down to main street with no clothes on with our bare feet on the

C              G              Am            Em
Painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind us

        C              G                 Am                      D
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot

           C                 G                    Am                 Em
And we can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies

      C             G             Am
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart
[Bridge] Am G C Em G Am G C Em D [Verse]
Am Em G     C     Am    Em D G
Aw     it's dark outside

Am Em G     C         Am        G C D
I've   been trying to get a ride

         Am Em G  Am    Em G D
While my body waits, my body waits

   Once I was a little boy,

Em          D       G Am
Staring at my shoes

Em        G        C               Am      Em   G D

[Chorus]
               G         D         Am
Take me to the beachhead let's go over

             C             Am           D
All of those rocks at the end of the road

                 G        D          Am
Help me down the seawall let's find Marci

           Em           C             G
See if she got that invitation to the movie,

                  Am                Em
the one where the kids break out of juvie

         C               G                  Am                  D
And then by their own admission they go and turn themselves all in

             C                G
Just as they get there to the station,

          Am                      Em
The young one wheels and begs the pavement

            C             G                     Am              D
For brother speed to make arrangements with the spirits of the night
[Chorus]
               G          D         Am
Take me to the race track let's go bet on

       C              Am            D
Aw the one that no one expects to win and

                   G          D          Am   D      Em                 C
Let's bet on the skinny horse he will surely try the hardest to come in first

                  G                  Am                    Em
I bet you for the winner they put on some kind of fancy dinner

                    C            G
Let's be like those Philadelphia sisters

          Am                            D
That have prayed straight for a hundred years

  C            G               Am             Em
I have no expectation, just to be here in the present

      C              G        Am               D
And behold you for a second before it all goes away
[Outro]
  Em

C

Em

Am   D              Em                            C
Ahhh ahhh and those painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind

        Em                               Am                      D
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot

       Em                                     C
We can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies

      Em                          Am         D
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart
