Tom: A

[Intro] A
 
               A             F#m
A cherry Fruit Rollup in the evergreens
 
      A                         F#m
A reminiscent dissent; have you did the scene?
 
  G                       D
I came from the valley of fake dates and lovers
 
        A                  E
and I'm never going back again
 
  A                     F#m
I woke up fresher than a honey dew
 
       A                           F#m
Made a groo-oove (hoo hoo!) in the city view 
 
         G                        D
When the rain comes, I pick and I pack up my boogie
 
      A                      E
and I float it down the boulevieu
 
         Bm
When you fell to your knees and you're aimin' to please
 
         D
You look up right now
 
 
                             A                 E    
'Cause everything is lookin' alright, and it's prime time, 
 
                     D                       A
you're looking to be breakin' in the evening news
 
            A
'Cause it's your fight
 
            E
and nothing falls far quicker than
 
D                      A
your body in a lake of booze
 
E
   And if you're followin' all the rules
 
                                 A
it ain't nothin' cool cause you're a fool
 
 
A F#m A F#m
 
            A                         F#m
I'm feeling silly green like a can of peas
 
           A                        F#m
A thousand days of thunder crackin' in my jeans
 
  G                        D
I ran into the back of the flat town bodega
 
        A                E
just to see you in a magazine
 
           A                           F#m
I took you home with some philadelphia cream cheese
 
  A                            F#m
I read it and spread it on the back of page three
 
  G                      D
I found a space for your face on the cream case
 
    A                  E
and now I've got all I need
 
        Bm
Cause I didn't know when I would see you again
 
       D
in the flesh and blood
 
 
                             A
'Cause everything is lookin' alright, and it's prime time, 
 
                     D                       A
you're looking to be breakin' in the evening news
 
            A
'Cause it's your fight
 
            E
and nothing falls far quicker than
 
D                      A
your body in a lake of booze
 
         A
And baby alright
 
            E
And I'll be thinking of you
 
         D                     A
when I'm walkin' down the boulevieu
 
 
N.C./Amaj riffs/string noises

A
When you broke
    E 
you made all the magic gone

D 
I laid it down
                 A  
and murdered our favorite friend
 
A   E
    Sleep
 
    D              A
and dream your way back to me
 
     A       E
I'll sell my soul
 
        D    A
to resurrect her again
 
A        E                            D      A
When you broke [the magic's gone] and made all the magic gone
 
  A       E                              D          A
I laid it down, [I murdered a unicorn] I murdered a unicorn
 
    A      E         D              A
And if you sleep and dream your way back to me
 
     A       E             D        A
I'll sell my soul and resurrect our unicorn
 
 
         A
Oh baby, alright
 
            E
and I'll be thinking of you
 
         D                     A
when I'm walkin' down the boulevieu
