GPushing forward, Dhighway miles are Amcheaper than in Dtown
If you Gleft something beDhind, well, try your Ambest not to let it Dget you down
The Amcity's full of Dbullshit, I don't Amsleep there anyDmore
I don't Amwant its schmoozy Deagerness, I don't Amwant to be its Dwhore
Oh but Gwe, we are so Dawestruck by the Amway that things just Dare
Like how the Gsun shines 'till it's Dnighttime
We fall aAmsleep to the sound of Dpassing cars
It's that Amsinking sunken Dfeeling
That you Amget on the roofs of tall Dbuildings
Staring Amout over the Dbay or Ambroken cityscapes that make you Dcry
And it's not Amsad, it's just you don't know how to begin to ask Dwhy
GJust a few more Dcigarettes and AmI'll come back inDside
And do you Gever get the Dfeeling
Something Amsomewhere in you is Dstill alive
And saying "AmOh and it's a Dbig life, as Ambig as it can Dbe
And if you Amcannot see the Dbeauty, well don't give Amup so Deasily"
And it's a Gweak-kneed converDsation telling Amyour new reveDlation
To a Gchoir of a Dmore cynical Amnature
Being your Amego and your Did
The part that Amswears to you you'll never want Dkids
The part that Amdrinks away each Dnight
And in the Ammorning wakes at ten and goes to Dwork
So Glet's not be so Dbitter Amat least not just Dyet
I keep meaGning to say everyDthing's okay
Well how preAmsumptuous is Dthat?
And Amsure we all get hurt Dsometimes
And Amsure we all feel aDshamed
But if our Amfriends can't help us Dthrough these things
I don't Amknow what friendship Dmeans
And I don't Amknow just what it is I'm trying to Dsay      G

Chords in this song · guitar

G D Am D

Pushing forward, highway miles are cheaper than in town

G D Am D

If you left something behind, well, try your best not to let it get you down

Am D Am D

The city's full of bullshit, I don't sleep there anymore

Am D Am D

I don't want its schmoozy eagerness, I don't want to be its whore

G D Am D

Oh but we, we are so awestruck by the way that things just are

G D

Like how the sun shines 'till it's nighttime

Am D

We fall asleep to the sound of passing cars

Am D

It's that sinking sunken feeling

Am D

That you get on the roofs of tall buildings

Am D Am D

Staring out over the bay or broken cityscapes that make you cry

Am D

And it's not sad, it's just you don't know how to begin to ask why

G D Am D

Just a few more cigarettes and I'll come back inside

G D

And do you ever get the feeling

Am D

Something somewhere in you is still alive

Am D Am D

And saying "Oh and it's a big life, as big as it can be

Am D Am D

And if you cannot see the beauty, well don't give up so easily"

G D Am D

And it's a weak-kneed conversation telling your new revelation

G D Am

To a choir of a more cynical nature

Am D

Being your ego and your id

Am D

The part that swears to you you'll never want kids

Am D

The part that drinks away each night

Am D

And in the morning wakes at ten and goes to work

G D Am D

So let's not be so bitter at least not just yet

G D

I keep meaning to say everything's okay

Am D

Well how presumptuous is that?

Am D

And sure we all get hurt sometimes

Am D

And sure we all feel ashamed

Am D

But if our friends can't help us through these things

Am D

I don't know what friendship means

Am D G

And I don't know just what it is I'm trying to say
