Night sunshine, the Fmaj7ghetto-bird chimes 4am
Welcome to the CWest a Ammosquito to kiss your hands and feet
     Fmaj7Welcome Gto this dirty Cbusiness
I Fmaj7was  surprCised       Fmaj7when you called me a Clady
Cause I'm Amstill not so Gsure that that's what I Fmaj7wanna be
EmCause I remember the Am80'sC  
     Fmaj7And I remember its Ampuffy sleevesC  
     Fmaj7You say I'm lucky to Cbe here
Then maybe Amyou can take this Cover
And I'll Fmaj7gladly wear the pants into the Amnext centuCryG  
     Fmaj7Past the scanners with Cease
Past Amarmies of Cthem who once Fmaj7played in a band
And Amwasted it comCplaining like a Fmaj7trust fund kid
AmPaying you to Cplay here while they Fmaj7hate you because of it
  CYou say I'm Emlucky to Fmaj7be here
But I've been Cdriving for G21 Fmaj7days
[INTERLUDE]
COh  GOh  Fmaj7Oh
COh  GOh  Fmaj7Oh
COh  GOh  Fmaj7Oh
[VERSE 2]
  EmWhat's that nasty sound?   CThe e-brake drags the ground
God, Gif you only knew what my Ccandied fist could do
The Gcurtain's closing in from all diCrections
Just answer my Gquestion perhaps it's Cbest if I continue
Starring Gme as you, me as Cyou
Starring Gme as you, me as Cyou
And there you Gare at the Cedge of the world
Mmm-Gmmm dangling with my heart a' Cpounding
Above a Amgulf of hamstrung Gpromises
You Fmaj7sang like Auld Lang Syne
GYou Amwanted it so Cbadly that you belFmaj7ieved them at the time
  CEvery fashion's flame    Amevery jet plane lie
CEvery second helping of that Fmaj7off-ramp fame we Amdie a little
[OUTRO]
You're Cright I'm from AmNowhere
You're Cright I'm from AmNowhere
You're Cright I'm from AmNowhere
You're Cright

Welcome to the West a mosquito to kiss your hands and feet

Fmaj7 G C

Welcome to this dirty business

Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C

I was surprised when you called me a lady

Am G Fmaj7

Cause I'm still not so sure that that's what I wanna be

And I remember its puffy sleeves

Fmaj7 C

You say I'm lucky to be here

Then maybe you can take this over

Fmaj7 Am C G

And I'll gladly wear the pants into the next century

Fmaj7 C

Past the scanners with ease

Am C Fmaj7

Past armies of them who once played in a band

Am C Fmaj7

And wasted it complaining like a trust fund kid

Am C Fmaj7

Paying you to play here while they hate you because of it

What's that nasty sound? The e-brake drags the ground

G C

God, if you only knew what my candied fist could do

Just answer my question perhaps it's best if I continue

G C

Starring me as you, me as you

G C

Starring me as you, me as you

G C

And there you are at the edge of the world

G C

Mmm-mmm dangling with my heart a' pounding

Am G

Above a gulf of hamstrung promises

Every second helping of that off-ramp fame we die a little

[OUTRO]
