[Intro]
There are two approaches to the intro depending on which part you want to do, either strum each chord
once and let it ring out or listen to the picking pattern on each one. The pattern shifts once the
Dadd4 chord is brought in to begin the verse.
Em7 - A - Em7 - A - Em7 - A - Dadd4
[Verse 1]
Dadd4
When they stole that vanFrom in front of my house
G There was a part of me tied to engine A7add4 Maybe I was the engine G Dragging those boys through the desert A7add4 Tumbleweeds in my hubcaps G Tambourine shoved in the driveshaft A7 Good chords locked in the glovebox
[Verse 2]
Dadd4
Pull it all downstairsIn the red light bar
On the carpeted stage
G The ceiling comes down to my ballcap A7add4 Outside the air weighs a hundred pounds G Bridesmaids pour out of the bar doors A7 Everything black but the concrete
[Verse 3]
Dadd4
You take the front seatI'll try to drive
It's hard enough singing
G When the hotel chokes on your memories A7add4 Maybe let's watch The Sopranos G Maybe let's order Chinese A7 The laundry machine isn't breathing
[Break]
Em7 - A - Em7 - A - Em7 - A - Dadd4
[Verse 4]
Dadd4
I write about JulieIn a little white chair
There's nothing for music
G There's styrofoam crushed in the garbage A7add4 Someone says let's get a move on G Aw man I'm just gettin my groove on A7 There's sleeping bags over their shoulders
[Verse 5]
Dadd4
I thought you were cryingYou said you through
For good, nothing funny
G It always goes that way this time A7add4 San Francisco in the nighttime G Pacing outside of the grocery store A7 Saying I can't do this
[Verse 6]
Dadd4
We went in the woodsIt was just me and you
The river was dry
G You pulled me down under the water A7add4 Funny what makes you feel cared for G Funny how well I remember A7add4 What a relief to be grateful G The blood leaks right out of my body A7 Right out of my body
[Verse 7]
Dadd4
At the family reunionAbove ground pool
There were uncles all over
G Nieces on edges of buildings A Peering down into the party G Barbecue breath on their pink tongues A7 Lemonade stains on their tank tops
[Verse 8]
G We went away to a coat room A Lay still there under a window G Called out the names of your brothers A7 The truth is I live to roll over
[Outro]
The last four-ish minutes of the song seem to be based around the verse pattern
with the occasional Em7 thrown in.
