101 N Tabulatur von Walter Mitty And His Makeshift Orchestra (für Baryton)

G                        Em                            C
And I drove all the way home listening to the Gaslight Anthem. 

G                                             Em                      C                      
And thinking how I can't stop letting people down, I'm surely not as cool as I was back in school.

G                        Em          C
I'm on the 101 falling asleep, I got the letters that you wrote for me. 

G                                       Em         C
Now here I am under golden arches, car in park, teary eyed, Mcgriddle in hand.

G                        Em                                   C
My minds a slow device, I like to picture life somewhat like a Rockwell painting, 

G                               Em              C
but great expectations just blister the paint.

G                                               Em                 C
And I just wanna drink chocolate milk with my lovely, I just wanna burn this apartment. 

G                                    Em                      C
And I just wanna float through my life merely dreaming at any given mention of the government.

So i drive, heavy eyed, repeating "tramps like us were born to run", but I've got no one to run with.

          C                  D                   G                             D    
And I'm cold, so i've been told that I should greet the sun and get shit done.

D                               G
I think I'd rather just sleep in.

G                               Em                   C
Cause we're all just twenty five words in the obituary section. 

G                                    Em                  C
And everyday is just the passing of time, I think they call this depression.


G              Em            C
I'm not lonely, just kinda overwhelmed again. 

G                                             Em       C             
Cause I'm living proof you can still sing the blues in 2011.
