[Verse 1]
G Am C G D
All of a sudden the city got so small
G C G
And I really don’t like it at all
Am C
All these trends in my friends
G D
It feels like my backyard
Em C G D G
And the bartender’s way too familiar
[Verse 2]
G Am C G D
All of these once-revered nights about are losing their charm
G C G
Even with her on my arm
Am C G D
In a taxi that’s full of the people I know
Em C G D G
Where can we go to find snow?
[Verse 3]
C G Am D
We stepped out the door, the air was too warm
C G Am D
The lingo we spoke was like hidden form
C G Am D
And all the main men got yellow at heart
C G Am D
We didn’t stay together, we drifted apart
C D C D C D C D
And I guess that’s what we must have wanted
Em C Am
‘Cause I recall none of us were retarded
D
Unless we were on drugs or in love
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G Am C G D
I visited the sultan of the economic café
G C G
And he told me today was the day
Am C G D
He was selling his shop, he was moving away
G C G
Back to his hometown in India
Am C G D
The image I had was of beggars all over the place
G C G
But he told me this wasn’t the case
Am C G D
And he showed me a picture of his two best friends
G C G D Em
And he said he felt nervous about seeing them again
[Verse 5]
C G Am D
When I stepped out the door, I felt kind of sad
C G Am D
I thought about faces and pets I once had
C G Am D
I thought about beginnings and I thought about ends
C G Am G
I thought about the sultan and his two best friends
C D C D C D C D
And I thought the sultan and I were quite similar
Em C Am D G
And I’m sure the bartenders over in India are familiar to him
