Tom: Em
G D
I don't believe in heaven I do believe in hell
C D
It's down the street from here And we both lived there for years
G D C
We burned the calendars for warmth And the alarm clocks just for fun
D
We closed the blinds to make goddamn sure
C
That we could never see the sun
A#
You could set a watch by the bottle returns
Em C G B
And the ashtrays overflowing on the floor
Em G C D D...
Nothing's free but time when you're so damn poor
G Em
But the past was death row And the future's a battlefield
C D
I hope we choose the right war
G Em
Because I've been fist fighting gravity Since the day I learned how to breathe
C D
And I still wake up On the same cold floor i fell asleep on
G D C C
So I won't but we shall overcome someday
G D C C
I can't do it alone but I shall be free someday
G D Em C
I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die
G D Em C
Vampirism is for poseurs in junior high
Trumpet x2: G Em Bm C
G D
We made our own postal system To cross the continent
C D
As long as freight trains run And loners pick up dreamers with thumbs
G
Who needs governments to get a letter to you
D
Or a mixtape to me or a postcard to Johnstown
C
What's a thousand miles between friends
D
What's a friend that's not worth crossing a country
G D
But I owe money and broken hearts
C
From Philly to Sydney and back to Vermont
G
yeeeah I regret a million things
C D D...
And that's only what I haven't forgot
G Em
But the past was a mine field And right now is a prison break
C D
I hope we make it alive
G Em
When who we are doesn't stop where the law begins
C D
Then we'll storm their court houses to survive
G D C C
So I won't but we shall overcome someday
G D C C
I can't do it alone but we shall be free someday
G D Em C
I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die
G D Em C
Vampirism is for poseurs in junior high
