intro : F
capo : 3
F
i can’t live in this city

but i was born here
Dm
and i know all these people

where they went to high school
A#
where they got their angle

here they waited tables
C
still call me brother

like cain and abel

F
there , see all those old men

how’d they get so swollen?
Dm
i got so many broke friends

who say i owe them
A#
from when we were children

how did it happen?
C
where is it going?

Dm
is that your question , man?
A# Dm
where does all your frustration lie?
C Dm
why are you pulling out your hair at night?
A#
just try and have a good time
F C Dm Am A#
all the rest aside
F
you’re still one of my kind

F Am Dm C

F
i can’t think in this city

but i remember
Dm
i know every story that it ever told me
A#
well , i got the blueprint

to create my own myth
C
that’s what made it tragic

like a summer snowdrift

F
yeah , going to call my first love

meet her at the new club
Dm
tell her all that i’ve done

finally be forgiven
A#
and get good and drunk
A#4/A#
like it feels you’re young
C
there are things against us

Dm
but i will fight tooth and nail
A# Dm
stand in the sickening sunshine
C Dm
after staying out all night
A#
and maybe it’s the good life
F C Dm Am A#
all the rest aside
C Dm Am A#
the rest aside
C Dm Am A#
the rest aside
F
you’re still one of my kind

F Am Dm C

F
i can’t live in this city

but i’ll probably die here
Dm
maybe that’s how you feel

like a poisoned cornfield
A#
like a best friend back – stabbed

an abandoned train track
C
we’re living straight – lined
F
are you one of my kind?

F Am Dm C
