STANDARD TUNING

NO CAPO

Sleeves over your hands keep your fingers warm

You put over your head in a passing storm

Your body's bent over a dollar bill

C#m B

Lit up by headlights at the window sill

I'm pouring gin into a coffee cup

Four in the morning in a ?Ford four walker¿

You said you got ran out at ?badrouge¿

C#m B

Said people didn't like you as per usual

F#m G#m A

?Face moments you can dream up¿

F#m

When the whole world is a ghost town

G#m A

You're in a rush to no where

I'm someone who showed you something new

Didn't care 'bout where you're from or where you're goin' to

We're hold up for the winter in your room

C#m B

The smell of cigarettes, whiskey, cheap perfume

You told me that you'd take this risk

You said that's all well worth on the spinning disk

What's so wrong with losing control?

When you're young you gotta lose it all

You're in a rush to no where... with Violet

The smoke's so thick you can't see the moon

If there's a spirit world you'll get there soon

Tired to playing catch up on that inner city bus

C#m B

The bank bought our house to sell it back to us

We're gonna make it, honey, if we try

Don't fall apart with that look in your eye

What's so wrong with losing control?

When you're young you gotta lose it all

With Violet

The smoke's so thick you can't see the moon

If there's a spirit world you'll get there soon

Tired to playing catch up on that inner city bus

C#m B

The bank bought our house to sell it back to us

We're gonna make it, honey, if we try

Don't fall apart with that look in your eye

What's so wrong with losing control?

C#m B

When you're young you gotta lose it all
