Chords
In the live in-store performances of this song, they've been playing these chords but only tuned
down a half-step. On the record, it's these chords, but tuned down a whole step to DGCFAD.
If you don't want to tune down a whole step, transpose down 2 semitones so the first chord
reads "F" (or down another semitone, play it in E with a capo, etc etc).
[Intro]
G Bm C G C G D (x2)
[Verse]
G Bm Sunken eyes and strangers' faces C G C I fall asleep in the strangest places G What the hell am I doing? D Where have my friends gone? G Bm Can't stand these people no more C G C But you cannot leave when you can't find the door G Smashed my phone, lost my wallet D Who's this new friend of mine?
{Chorus]
Em G Why do some people make you nervous Em G C C/B Am And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing?
[Interlude]
G Bm C G C G D
[Verse]
G Bm Nightstand memorial to past libation C G C A sudden fear of phone vibrations G Too hung over to sleep D Too tired to stay alive G Bm Benzos, bile, and bills C G C There's so much missing time to kill G D I shake like an airplane on its way down
{Chorus]
Em G Why do some people make you nervous Em G C C/B Am And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing? C C/B Am When the bars are closing?
[Interlude]
G Bm (x2)
[Bridge]
G Bm No good'll come from stumbling home with the sun G Bm No good'll come from stumbling home with the sun C I used to care D G Bm Now I stare into the sunken eyes and strangers' faces C G C I fall asleep in the strangest places G What the hell am I doing? D Where have my friends gone?
[Interlude]
G Bm C G C G D (x2)
{Chorus]
Em G Why do some people make you nervous Em G C C/B Am And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing? C C/B Am When the bars are closing?
