Fun. – Barlights (Guitar)

D                   E
Never in all of my life

             A                       D
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city

      D
on a Saturday night,

        E                        A            Abm     D
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."

            D                      E
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.

      D                           E
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.

    A                         D         A
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.

   D                             E
We met up once we'd settled the sun

    A        Abm 
Between the heat and the work week

    D
The fear is we could use some sleep

    D                      E
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds

         A       Abm           D
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.

         D                       E
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.

        D                         E
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block

             D                            E
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"

         D                            E
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.

     A
Now all the barlights are blinking in time

D                               D* E* F#* E* D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

    A                         D
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.

D                     E
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,

     A
and one of us has nothing at all.

      D
So he calls us all sheep

         E                     A
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.

        D                            E
Then he swears he's gotta take this call

           A                Abm          D
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.

            D
We were the get rich quick kids,

    E
We never got it right

       D                         E
So we settled for the center in town

               D                      E
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight

         D                    E
got the blond one staring me down.

       D                   E
and I really wanna take a swing

         A          Abm          D
I can't help but remember James Dean

            D                    E
See we are part of the few who agree

              D
that hey, he lived life fast

        E
but he died.

                      A
Me, I'm gonna live forever.

     A                         D       A
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)

     A
Now all the barlights are blinking in time

D                                            A
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

                D
in a long time,

              A
I feel alive.
