The Hold Steady – Cheyenne Sunrise (Guitar)

C                        Em - E - Am
When I left I wasn't thinking

        G                F - Fm
That I wasn't coming home

     C
But first Al Green

          Am      
And then Barry White

   G                C 
Convinced me not to go

C                           Em - E - Am
And I didn't come home for fighting

           G                F - Fm
I came to bandage up my hand

    C                                   Am
And if you're gonna talk to me like that

     G                          C
Then I'll just go back out again

Dm                             Am
Wipe that chip right off your shoulder

F                     C - A  
We ain't getting any younger

Dm                        Am
Some things are getting bigger

F                        Fm
Some things are falling off

       C                       Am
Some things they seem much harder

       G                C
Some other things stay soft

C                          Em - E - Am       
We're tipping over in the taprooms

               G                 F - Fm
We're shooting through the ceiling

      C
We're dying in the bathrooms

           Am             G                   C
And we're living for that one sweet, fleeting feeling

C                      Em - E - Am
I know my cough sounds awful

                G                 F - Fm            
Some nights it hurts a bit to breathe

         C
But I'm glad it's just my body

Am       G               C
I do my business on the street

Dm                      Am
We ain't getting any younger

F                                   Am - A 
Tomorrow night we'll be that much older

F                      Fm
Some kids are growing awkward

    G
We're fingering the punch bowl

                      C
We're feeding from the trough

C                                      Am
There's nothing quite like a Cheyenne sunrise

            G                 C
To make us has-beens feel too old

Dm                  Am
Onward Christian soldiers

F                                      C - A
We're gonna bash right through your borders

Dm                           Am
I bet your next party gets sketchy

F                           Fm
I saw the new kids nodding off

C                             Am
Some things are getting bigger

      G                 C
Some things are falling off

C                           Am
Some things seem much harder

      G                    C
Some other things stay soft
