Tom: E

E      C#m             E
  You know it's gonna hurt
      C#m                      F#m
Sore feet dragged through the dirt
D         B     E
  Hit me right here
     C#m         E
The lazy way we love
      C#m                 F#
Good times we're dreaming of
D         B     C#m
  Hit me right here

[Chorus]
              F#
It's getting late
                  B
The skyline's a state
             E          B
This city's tired like we are
C#m                     F#
    We're holding it together
                   B
Counting spooks forever
             E        B
I'm just so tired of numbers

[Instrumental]
E  C#m  x4

[Verse]
E   C#m         E
   Night vision on
         C#m          F#
Get the missionaries home
D         B     E
  Hit me right here
C#m                E
You know where I start
     C#m             F#
And you know where I end
D         B     C#m
  Hit me right here

[Chorus]
              F#
It's getting late
                  B
The skyline's a state
             E          B
This city's tired like we are
C#m                     F#
    We're holding it together
                   B
Counting spooks forever
             E        B
I'm just so tired of numbers

C#m                      F#
    Though it's getting late
                  B
The skyline's a state
                 E         B
And this city's tired like we are
C#m                     F#
    We're holding it together
                   B
Counting spooks forever
             E        B
I'm just so tired of numbers
