Avenues 
Whiskeytown
Strangers Almanac
Intro: Dsus2  
			         Dsus2   G6add9                    Asus4
Know the cabs here they cant run down to your house
 G6add9         Asus4	        G6add9                 Dsus2  
Sometimes Ill sit and wish I were somewhere else
				   Dsus2   G6add9                 Asus4
So lets dim the daylights for us sweethearts that we are
 G6add9         Asus4	        G6add9                 Dsus2  
Sometimes I find myself still lying in your arms
 Asus4/      E   F#m7#5                 G6add9                 
        All the sweethearts of the world
 Asus4                       Asus4/E  
Are out dancing in the places
             F#m7#5          G6add9         Asus4                        
Where me and all my friends go to hide our faces
Dsus2                      (Descending bass line  F# to A to D on D string)
Avenues run one way
Dsus2                      (Descending bass line  F# to A to D on D string)
Streets they run the same
				Dsus2( Hold  F#and then hit A)
Something in the air here
Dsus2Still keeps me away
Bridge:                Dsus2   G6add9          Asus4  
	    Dsus2        (Descending bass line  F# to A to D on D string)
     Dsus2
			                Dsus2   G6add9              Asus4
Though the cops here they cant take me to your house
		         Dsus2   G6add9                            Asus4
I get directions and pretend I was somewhere else
          Asus4/          E   F#m7#5       G6add9                       Asus4  
All the sweethearts of the world are out littering the bars
      Asus4/     E   F#m7#5        G6add9                  Asus4  
And I am still avenues from any place you are
Dsus2                      (Descending bass line  F# to A to D on D string)
You know avenues run one way
Dsus2                      (Descending bass line  F# to A to D on D string)
The streets they run the same
Dsus2Its going to take a lot of shit for me to stay away
