(let ring into verse) [Verse 1]
Am
We talk a lot in crappy cars and restaurants and shitty bars

         F                          G
We ain't trying very hard but we've got that fucking bark,

          Am
We talk a lot. We talked the talk, talked up the shit where the fuckers would be feeling it

F                               G                          Am
If they could hear the epithets and the rejoinders that we spit

                         G                         F    G
We talk a lot, we talk a lot and now we're feeling fine

          Am                             G                               F     G
We talk a lot, we talk a lot, we talk a lot, yeah, we've got nothing but time

    E                             F
And baby you don't know what it's like
[Chorus]
             Am  C    G   Am  F           G             Am
So lets keep rolling, rolling out of this shitty yellow light

                  Am  G               Am  F                G         Am       C        F
'Cause we've been droning, we've been droning through this endless parade of identical days

        G                     Am
Nothing changes, it only rots away
[Break] C G Am [Verse 2]
C  G      Am
We talk a lot but no one's listening

                       F
We've been over this before,

                    G                                    Am
Now it's happening again, now we're squawking with them crows

                                                      F
We hang on wires and watch the city and its busy days below

                         G                           Am
We talk a lot, we talk a lot, it's the only thing we know

                                G                        F     G
It's time to ride, it's time to ride all goddamn day and night

              Am                                    G                             F     G
What have you got? What have you got? What have you got? I want to melt down with time

E                       F
I'm scratching out my insides
[Chorus]
             Am  C    G   Am  F           G             Am
So lets keep rolling, rolling out of this shitty yellow light

                  Am  G               Am  F                G         Am       C        F
'Cause we've been droning, we've been droning through this endless parade of identical days

        G                     Am
Nothing changes, it only rots away
[Break] C G Am C G [Hook]
Am                      G                    F                                 G
What are we doing here? Nothing. That's what killing me, that's what's fucking killing me

Am                      C                    F                                 G
What are we doing here? Nothing. That's what killing me, that's what's fucking killing me

Am                      G                    F           G
What are we doing here? Nothing. That's what killing me, killing me
[Chorus]
             Am  C    G   Am  F           G             Am
So lets keep rolling, rolling out of this shitty yellow light

                  Am  G               Am  F                G         Am       C        F
'Cause we've been droning, we've been droning through this endless parade of identical days

        G
Nothing changes,

F                G
Ooh nothing ever changes

F                G
Ooh nothing ever changes
[Outro]
C            G                Am         G
And we've forgotten what this used to be like

C            G                Am         F
And we've forgotten what this used to be like

C            G                Am         G  F  G
And we've forgotten what this used to be like
