[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
Em Bm C
We'll correct collegiate mistakes
Em Bm C
A shower of formal ideals
Em Bm C
Completely soused the hearts on our sleeves
Em Bm C
As they drowned we could hear them screaming
C
"Oh, what a tragic way to see our final days"
Em Bm C
[Verse 2]
Em Bm C
I attempt to talk up the town
Em Bm C Em Bm C
"The answers are in the arches of the 20th century towers
Em Bm C
And in comfortable cars in motion"
C Em
And yet it still remains, this incessent refrain:
Bm C Em Bm C
"You're just like the rest, your restlessness makes you lazy"
[Verse 3]
Em Bm C
Keeping busy is just wasting time
Em Bm C
And I've wasted what little he gave me
C
All around
Am C Gma7
I know the conscious choice was crystal clear
D Fma7
To clean the slate of former years
Am7 C
When I sang softly in your ear
Gma7 D Fma7
And tied these arms around you
