Intro: Cmaj7 Cmaj7  G G (x4) 

Cmaj7 Cmaj7
In matching blue raincoats, our shoes were our showboats
G G
we kicked around
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
From stairway to station, we made a sensation
G G
with the gadabout crowd
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And oh what a bargain, we're two easy targets
G G
For the old men at the off-tracks
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Who've paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars
G G
Which we squirreled away
Em Em Am Am Asus2 Asus2 Am Am
In our rat-trap hotel by the freeway
C Cmaj7-C G
And we slept in Sundays

Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Your parents were anxious, your cool was contagious
G G
At the old school
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
You left without leaving a note for your grieving
G G
Sweet mother while your brother was so cruel
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And here in the alleys your spirits were rallied
G G
As you learned quick to make a fast buck
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
In bathrooms and ballrooms, on dumpsters and heirlooms
G G
We bit our tongues
Em Em Am Am
Sucked our lips into our lungs 'til we were falling
C C
Such was our calling


Em Em D D Am Am C C
And here in our hollow we fused like a family
Em Em D D C C
But I will not mourn for you
Em Em D D Am Am C C
So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away
Am Am Cm Cm
We're kings among runaways
G G
On the bus mall
Cm Cm G G
We're down on the bus mall

Intro x2

Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Among all the urchins and old chinese merchants
G G
Of the old town
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball
G G
And we never let the bastards get us down
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And we laughed off the quick tricks, the old men with limp dicks
G G
On the colonnades of the waterfront park
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
As four in the morning came on cold and boring
G G
We huddled close
Em Em Am Am Asus2 Asus2 Am Am
In the bus stop enclosure enfolding
C Cmaj7-C
Our hands tightly holding

Em Em D D Am Am C C
But here in our hollow we fused like a family
Em Em D D C C
But I will not mourn for you
Em Em D D Am Am C C
So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away
Am Am Cm Cm
We're kings among runaways
G G
On the bus mall
Cm Cm G G
We're down on the bus mall
Cm Cm G G
We're down on the bus mall (At this point, Guitar 2 comes in with Intro riff)
Cm Cm G G
Down on the bus mall
D D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G G Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G G
Ohhhh
