Tom: D
D G
Step down from the SEPTA to the empty street
D G
4th of July, 2015
D G
Made plans with Sam and Alex G
D
Got this old feeling
G
More than a memory
D G
Met at the Pep Boys on Aramingo
D G
Van is full up of fireworks and drunk people
D G
Get in instead with Alex's friend Bo
D
Says, "Watch your step, man
G
There's precious cargo"
A G
And it landed like a joke
G
Like rubber-banded bundles of dope
[Chorus]
D A
How many universes
D A D
Am I alive and dead in?
D A
A new one every second
D A
The path of least resistance
G
Can't make it matter
D
My life is sliding by
[Verse 2]
D
Bo's going 70
G
Side street to Kensington
D G
His eyes are X's and his head's out the window
D G
When he rolls right over some family's Roman candle
D G
Cuts the engine, gets out, then lights a cigarette
A G
The dad is spitting mad
G
He brought a scary scary uncle
G
Gun in his waistband
[Chorus]
D A
How many universes
D A D
Am I alive and dead in?
D A
A new one every second
D A
And then the bat hit Bo's head
G
Can't make it matter more
G
Can't make it matter more
A
Can't make it matter more
A
My life is sliding by
G
Don't really know these kids
G
A little old for this
A
This city's dangerous
A
I guess I'm fine, though
[Bridge]
D G
My depression suddenly lifted
D G
All the adrenaline shocked my nervous system
D G
Swore I'd be present and grateful for every second
D
Later the feeling faded
G
I couldn't help it
[Chorus]
D A
How many universes
D A D
Am I alive and dead in?
D A
A new one every second
D A
And then the bat hit Bo's head
D A
How many universes
D A D
Am I alive and dead in?
D A
A new one every second
D G D
Oh
