Chords

[Intro] G Am G Am [Verse 1]
G
My new house sits upon the clouds

Am
Right next door is the lost and found

G
Picking fights with the ghost down stairs

Am
Turn off the lights and plug my ears
Gmaj7 Am9 Gmaj7 Am9
G                                     Am
The trees are killing off in a lovely kind of way

G                                          Am
And of course I'm pleading from the porch just stay

G                                           Am
Maybe the winter will cut me some slack this year

G                                         Am
Maybe I'm telling myself what I'd like to hear
[Pre-Chorus]
Am9
Tonight I hope I fall asleep

          D
Before my hands do

Am
I might come close to drifting off

            D
But I don't plan to
[Chorus]
              G
I'm viciously lonely
Lost respect
        Am
My best friend is the crick in my neck

             G
Sit back and stone me
Toss your rocks
            Am   Am9
Pretty good aim if you count head shots
[Solo] Gmaj7 Am9 Gmaj7 Am9 Cm Bm Am D#maj7 Cm Bm Am D D [Bridge]
G
I tend to spend a couple hours a day

Am
Waiting by the phone hoping there's nothing to say

Bm                                            Bbm       Am
But I've got the feeling that my wake up call is on its way

    G
But as my youth begins to expire

     Am
I'll slowly put a little less wood on the fire

    Bm                                  Bbm
But maybe it'll turn like a roll of old film

Am
Or a bottle of wine

                         D7
That's been waiting to spill
[Chorus 2]
G
Viciously lonely
Tossed around
           Am
Most these days I'm stuck in town

               Gmaj7
So come on and show me
Lay it down
                    Am
Put the band in the deep-end

      Am9
And try to get loud
G Am G Am G Am G Am [Outro]
    Am                                      D
And all the flags are halfway down the poles

   Am                                D
So why are dogs still barking at the fireworks show
