CAPO ON 3
CAPO ON 3
CAPO ON 3
Intro:
 Em   Cx2
Barely noticed puberEmty as hair grew subtly onto my virgin flesh
CPermanently burning away at my baby fat chest
   Em"Ceschi the stretch marks from when you were
sixCteen are still there to tell you that you're going nowhere"
   EmFast at least, no masterpiece
will last a Cweek, while giants and dragons jump onto the canvas sheet
   EmHow you gonna prove you're not another sucker
with a Cdream living under your Grandpa's roof in a room with your brother
   EmAll of us want to be someone better
Until the moCment when the ominous comes and just stomps on our festival
   EmIt's a fucking rainy day, plain and gray
In CoCnnecticut waiting for a saving grace to take us away
and it's Gjust
One quick moment for the Cparade to arrive
   EmIn just one moment
all the Amfloats will choke the sky
   GOne quick moment
for the Cparade to arrive
   EmIn just one moment
all the Amfloats will choke the sky
Helium filled monEmstrosities wave in the wind above a cheering crowd
That's Ctearing down our city simply with the blaring sound
Of Em"Oohs" and "Ahhs"
And huge applause as peCople scurry to catch a glimpse of balloons in fog
   EmEverybody in LA was looking for a lucky break
But Call I really wanted was to get out of that fucking place
   EmI never wanted to be that big blimp in a parade
That just Csits in deep haze waiting for the day that it deflates
   GOne quick moment till the Cparade comes alive
   EmIn just one moment
all the Amfloats will choke the sky
   GOne quick moment
till the Cparade comes alive
   EmIn just one moment
all the Amfloats will choke the sky
Then we'll chuckle in Emsync like after Snarf jokes on Thundercats episodes
We'll Creminisce about bullshit we walked through on this wretched road
   EmIt was a mess, I know, tough to pass the test of growth
CBut we never let those foes question our endless sense of hope
   EmThis is a song for all my friends trying to live off music
A Csong for my people who are told every day that they'll never do it
   EmAnd even though we'll all wind up in space under graves
At Cleast we kept our legs strong moving along the whole way
   GWait one moment for the Cparade to arrive
   EmIn just one moment
all the Amfloats will choke the sky
   GWait one moment
for the Cparade to arrive
   EmIn just one moment
all the Amfloats will choke the sky
   GChoke the sky, choke the Csky
all the floats will choke the Emsky
   Choke the sky, choke the Amsky
all the floats will choke the Gsky
   Choke the sky, choke the Csky
all the floats will choke the Emsky
   Choke the sky, choke the Amsky
all the floats will choke the Emsky
C   Em   C

CAPO ON 3

Intro:

Em C

Barely noticed puberty as hair grew subtly onto my virgin flesh

Permanently burning away at my baby fat chest

"Ceschi the stretch marks from when you were

sixteen are still there to tell you that you're going nowhere"

Fast at least, no masterpiece

will last a week, while giants and dragons jump onto the canvas sheet

How you gonna prove you're not another sucker

with a dream living under your Grandpa's roof in a room with your brother

All of us want to be someone better

Until the moment when the ominous comes and just stomps on our festival

It's a fucking rainy day, plain and gray

In Connecticut waiting for a saving grace to take us away

and it's just

One quick moment for the parade to arrive

In just one moment

all the floats will choke the sky

One quick moment

for the parade to arrive

In just one moment

all the floats will choke the sky

Helium filled monstrosities wave in the wind above a cheering crowd

That's tearing down our city simply with the blaring sound

Of "Oohs" and "Ahhs"

And huge applause as people scurry to catch a glimpse of balloons in fog

Everybody in LA was looking for a lucky break

But all I really wanted was to get out of that fucking place

I never wanted to be that big blimp in a parade

That just sits in deep haze waiting for the day that it deflates

G C

One quick moment till the parade comes alive

In just one moment

all the floats will choke the sky

One quick moment

till the parade comes alive

In just one moment

all the floats will choke the sky

Then we'll chuckle in sync like after Snarf jokes on Thundercats episodes

We'll reminisce about bullshit we walked through on this wretched road

It was a mess, I know, tough to pass the test of growth

But we never let those foes question our endless sense of hope

This is a song for all my friends trying to live off music

A song for my people who are told every day that they'll never do it

And even though we'll all wind up in space under graves

At least we kept our legs strong moving along the whole way

G C

Wait one moment for the parade to arrive

In just one moment

all the floats will choke the sky

Wait one moment

for the parade to arrive

In just one moment

all the floats will choke the sky

G C

Choke the sky, choke the sky

all the floats will choke the sky

Choke the sky, choke the sky

all the floats will choke the sky

Choke the sky, choke the sky

all the floats will choke the sky

Choke the sky, choke the sky

all the floats will choke the sky
