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.

[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]

[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]

[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

[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]
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 Just the way you were raised
