Verse 1:
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Shakedown nineteen seven nine,
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Cool kids never have the time.
G# G# Fm7 Fm7
On a live wire right up off the street
A# A#
You and I should meet.

Verse 2:
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Junebug skipping like a stone
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
With headlights pointed at the dawn.
G# G#
We were sure we'd never see
Fm7 Fm7 A# A#
An end to it all.

Chorus 1:
D# D# D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7 D# D#
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7 D# D#
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7
To dust I guess
Fm7 Fm7 A# A# D# D#
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

Verse 3:
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Double cross the vacant and the bored,
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
They're not sure just what we have in store.
G# G# Fm7 Fm7 G# G#
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:

Chorus 2:
D# D# D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7 D# D#
That we don't even care as restless as we are,
D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7 D# D#
We feel the pull in the land of a tousand guilts.
D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7
And poured cement,
A# A#
Lamented and assured.

Bridge:
Cm Cm G# G#
To the lights and town below,
A# A# Cm Cm A# A#
Faster than the speed of sound,
A# A# Cm Cm G# G# Fm7 Fm7 A# A#
Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope.

Verse 4:
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Justine never knew the rules,
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
No apologies ever need be made,
D# D# Fm7 Fm7 A# A#
I know better than you fake it to see:

Chorus 3:
D# D# D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7 D# D#
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7 D# D#
And we don't know just where out bones will rest
D#maj7 D#maj7 G#maj7 G#maj7
To dust I guess,
Fm Fm A# A# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

Coda:
G# G# D#maj7 D#maj7 D# D#
The street heats the urgency of now.
G# G# D# D#
As you see there's no-one around.
