The Mountain Goats – Old College Try (Guitar)

G                         Em
From the housetops to the gutters

C                     D
From the ocean to the shore

    G                                      Em
The warning signs have all been bright and garish

C                D
Far too great in number to ignore

G                      Em
From the cities to the swamplands

C                        D
From the highways to the hills

    G                           Em
Our love has never had a leg to stand on

C                        D
From the aspirins to the crosstops to the alovils

        C    D              G
But I will walk... down to the end

     Em
With you

            C                D
If you will come all the way down

      G
With me

G                        Em
From the entrance to the exit

   C                                  D
Is longer than it looks from where we stand

  G                       Em
I wanna say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet

C                          D
Things will shortly get completely out of hand

      G                         Em
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight

       C
In the tips of my fingers

       D
In the skin of my face

G                               Em
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light

C                                       D    
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place

 C
Like a trash can fire

     D
In a prison cell

G
Like the searchlights

       Em
In the parking lots of hell

       C    D              G            
I will walk... down to the end

     Em
With you

            C                D
If you will come all the way down

     G
With me
