Chords

The Menzingers tune down a half-step, so they play this with a capo on the second fret, but if you're in standard, you'd play with a capo on the first fret. [Intro] G C C/B G Em G [Verse]
G
Long for the words with hearts and wings

G                                           
Something familiar when you miss everything

Em
You rest your head against the window pane

G
Feet on the dash through the steady rain

G
I drove you home while you slept in the front seat

G
After a show at the Stone Pony

Em
Watch you awake so god damn sweetly

G                                       G/F# Em  
Over the Walt Whitman Bridge back to Philly
[Interlude] C C/B Am G G/F# Em C C/B Am C/B Am G [Verse]
G
I toss and turn at four in the morning

G
Petrified of where our future's going

Em
'Cause you're the kind of girl that deserves the world

G
I'm just the kind of guy that promises the world

G
So I fix a drink nice and strong in the kitchen

G
Something quick that'll cure my conscience

Em
Creep back to bed and I kiss your forehead

G                                     G/F# Em                        
Maybe everything is fine and it's all in my head
[Interlude] C C/B Am G G/F# Em C C/B Am C/B Am G [Chorus]
G
A little Irish in your blood

C                            G
A little Polish in your name

                                 C
A little Boston in your attitude

                             G
Just the way you were raised

                             C
A little Irish in your blood

                             G
A little Polish in your name

                                 C      
A little Boston in your attitude

                             Em   
Just the way you were raised

          C                  Em
Just the way you were raised

          C                  Em
Just the way you were raised

          C                  Em
Just the way you were raised

          C  C/B      Am    C/B Am G
Just the way you were raised
[Interlude] G Em G [Verse]
G
We drove up to Massachusetts together

G
Your old house was just like you remember

Em
We stayed in your adolescent room

G
Rummaged through the boxes labeled "former you"

G
The souvenirs of happiness in the moment

                               Em
Your wild years that you often mention

                                 G
The sands of time in an hourglass

                                Am
That you're always begging for back

                        D
I got drunk in the afternoon 

                                G
with your father in the living room

                             Em
As the television broke the silence

                             Am                        D
You smiled, know that I was trying the best that I can do
[Chorus]
