Band: The Hold Steady
Song: Party Pit
Album: Boys and Girls in America
Just three parts to this song... the verse, chorus and the breakdown part, which I 
bothered to figure out.  Enjoy.
i Gguess I G/F#met her at the Bmparty pitC  
she said those kids she's with were selling it
so we sailed off on some separate trips
she got pinned down at the party pit.
I went away to school that fall
she stuck around with all those stickpin dolls
sped through the scene until the engine stalled
at some suburban shopping mall
sEmailed aDway on such seCparate Dtrips
she got pinnEmed down at the party pit.
I came back to start a band, of course.
saw her walking thru the crystal court.
she made a scene by the revolving doors
she's gonna walk around and drink some more.
so we walked across that grain belt bridge.
into bright new minneapolis
she said i think that all those things I did
were just momentum from the party pit.
sailed away on such separate trips
she got pinned down at the party pit
I'm pretty sure we kissed.

i guess I met her at the party pit

she said those kids she's with were selling it

so we sailed off on some separate trips

she got pinned down at the party pit.

I went away to school that fall

she stuck around with all those stickpin dolls

sped through the scene until the engine stalled

at some suburban shopping mall

I came back to start a band, of course.

saw her walking thru the crystal court.

she made a scene by the revolving doors

she's gonna walk around and drink some more.

so we walked across that grain belt bridge.

into bright new minneapolis

sailed away on such separate trips

she got pinned down at the party pit

I'm pretty sure we kissed.
