John Gorka – The Mortal Groove (Guitar)

     F          C      F           C
It's half price off on last year's models

  F        C       F        C
A geeseful sky and roads of potholes

    F       C        F       C
The town is lean and getting leaner

      F    C        F      C             G
There is a rank and file demeanour

        C                  F      C
There's countless souls in unkind places

F
Wearing fixed and angry faces

  C
I tell myself I don't belong

    F    
But I am a ghost in this prayer gone wrong

C                 G
Prayer gone wrong

                  F
Prayer gone wrong

                  G  Am  C  G
Prayer gone wrong

          F         C       F          C
There's a new restaurant, a new coffee shop

   F          
It seems this street is looking up

  C              F           C
A new sign says, there's "No Smoking"

      F                                C       G
"No Shirt, No Service" and "Spanish Spoken"

     C         
This town was built by steel blue collars

   F
It now competes for the tourist dollars

C
Love may make the world go round

   F    
But like gravity here, still money bound

      C           G
We're money bound

             F
Money bound

              G  Am  C  G
Money bound

        C
There's talk show hosts and wartime markers

F
Ways of thinking, that force the darkness

    C
Bus stations have sad reputations

     F                         C       G    F   C
Coin laundry, pawnshop conversations

     F
It's cabin fever or the mortal groove

  C       
Before the spring, before winter's done

     F
When something's lost or just hasn't come

   C           G
It hasn't come

            F
Hasn't come

              G  Am   G    F   C
Hasn't come
