________________________________

[INTRO]

C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G

[VERSE ONE]

C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G Em

It's always locusts or floods or drought

Cmaj7 G

And then it's parties or prayer

C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G Em

He picks a girl he can live without

Cmaj7 G

And puts her down over there

[CHORUS]

Em Am7 G D

Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore

Em Am7 G D

Philly drinks and he drinks all the drunks hit the floor

Em A7 Em

Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down

A7 Cmaj7 G F Am G

And you do you both drown

[VERSE ONE]

C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G Em

Congratulations you hit the mark

Cmaj7 G

You got the bird on the wing

C#m7b5 C G

The animatronic bloodhounds bark

Em Cmaj7 G

The wind up mockingbirds sing

[CHORUS]

Em Am7 G D

Philly thinks and when he thinks you can't feel anymore

Em Am7 G D

Philly drinks at least he did when you knew him before

Em A7 Em

Philly sinks, but now the glass is a girl

A7 Cmaj7 G F Am G

And now the girl is a frown

[BRIDGE]

Em A

But you can put in your orb

What you're hoping for more

G F C Em

Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around

A C

And if the rowing gets dull just knock a hole in the hull

G F C G Em G Em G Cmaj7 G

And let the ocean swallow you down

[CHORUS]

Em Am7 G D

Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't swim anymore

Em Am7 G D

Philly drinks until the tide pulls away from the shore

Em A7 Em

Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down

A7 Cmaj7 G F Am G

And you do you both drown
