B5 and E5 guys, that's it. When I play it on acoustic, I like to play the power chord 799xxx for B5 and x799xx for the E5. That lets me imitate some of the cool slides. Of course, the X Ambassadors have an amazing guitar player who's doing tons more than this, but this is the basic bones to get the job done. [Intro] B5 [Verse 1]
B5
Held onto your letters

B5
They're getting better with age

B5
Now my desk's like a pulpit

B5
And my bed like a stage

B5
See, all these debts keep me under

B5
Ain't no words worth the cost

B5
If I should carry me farther

B5
Than the load of a lover once lost
[Chorus]
B5                                          E5
We used to walk down the road to Buttermilk Falls

            B5
Dip in your feet, put your hair down

           E5
Thinking I just won't make it

         B5
And if I go back tomorrow

                       E5
Would I still feel the same?

         B5
I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter
So I just keep my body by the edge of the bay [Verse 2]
B5
Make believe we were younger

B5
Forget the money we owe

B5
You got your prior commitments, baby

B5
Just wish I had some of my own

B5
'Cause ain't no loving me

B5
Before you know what I'm worth

B5
'Cause you are the life of the party

B5
And I am the scum of the earth
[Chorus]
B5                                          E5
We used to walk down the road to Buttermilk Falls

            B5
Dip in your feet, put your hair down

           E5
Thinking I just won't make it

         B5
And if I go back tomorrow

                       E5
Would I still feel the same?

         B5
I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter
So I just keep my body by the edge of the bay
