"Holy City" by Sequoyah Prep School
CAPO III
You say you’re Gsick and tired of Charleston
Let’s pack our Cbags and let’s move to DBoston
Oh, I Emknew that you had problems
But none worth Crunning away from Dhome
You say you Gwonder what I’m thinking
Well, I thank CGod that you still beDlieve in
EveryEmthing that I thought was real
When I was Crunning away from Dhome
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And I’m singing Gthere Cgoes your Dsummer
Now don’t turn aEmround and see the Cleaves get Dbrighter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 ‘Cause I’m..G.  broke down in the holy city Cagain
Singing Dgoodbye with all of my Gfriends
And my moods Cchange with the Dseasons these Gdays
And if I left then would you Cpromise?
Would you Dswear to keep me Ghonest?
When I’m broke Cdown in the Dholy city again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you’ve got Gno one to depend on
Just say your Cprayers and call it a Dnight, love
You can Emhold onto your bed sheets
But they won’t Chold onto Dyou
And in the Gmorning when you wake up
You walk outCside without your Dmakeup
I’ll be Emsleeping in the backseat of my Ccar waiting for Dyou
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just I’m singing Gthere Cgoes your Dsummer
Now don’t turn aEmround and see the Cleaves get Dbrighter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 ‘Cause I’m..G.  broke down in the holy city Cagain
Singing Dgoodbye with all of my Gfriends
And my moods Cchange with the Dseasons these Gdays
And if I left then would you Cpromise?
Would you Dswear to keep me Ghonest?
When I’m broke Cdown in the Dholy city again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Singing Gthere Cgoes your Dsummer
Now don’t turn aEmround and see the Cleaves get Dbrighter
Just go ahead and Gsmile; I can Ctell that you Dlike it
Now don’t fold your Emarms and don’t Ccall me a Dliar
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 ‘Cause I’m..G.  broke down in the holy city Cagain
Singing Dgoodbye with all of my Gfriends
And my moods Cchange with the Dseasons these Gdays
And if I left then would you Cpromise?
Would you Dswear to keep me Ghonest?
When I’m broke Cdown...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And I’m...  Gbroke down in the holy city aCgain
Singing Dgoodbye with all of my Gfriends
And my moods Cchange with the Dseasons these Gdays
And if I left then would you Cpromise?
Would you Dswear to keep me Ghonest?
When I’m broke Cdown in the Dholy city again
