Intro: Dm


DmDrivin' up the coast
To find a version of the truth
DmLeft the backdoor swinging
Like a dirty little sleuth
     C                BbThe truth is I have never
           AmFelt half this alive
CNow it's time to dance
                       DmUpon the grave called 45

DmJacked up on some Kerouac
And surely bullet proof
DmThe girl who taught me what to do
Was missing her front tooth
C           BbGentle as a storm
            Am Inside your mental health
  CI wanna find the answer
                         DmBut I just can't find myself


  DmI say so long
       CTo the way I played
    CThe way I played
          GInside of yesterday
Dm        C Hey let's run around
    CThe great escape
            G         DmFrom out of my hometown


DmLater I would look for love
Inside a woman's dorm
DmA couch to keep me humble
And her breath to keep me warm
C               BbOphelia was the girl
           AmThat I was feeling for
CCome to realize
                         DmIt was me who was the whore

DmA captain lost himself
Inside a 40 year old skull
DmThe drink of choice was knowledge
And we always wanted more
CDrunken sailors
Bb               AmSeeking their Geronimo
   CInstead they found the things
                                DmThat they really didn't wanna know


  DmI say so long
       CTo the way I played
    CThe way I played
          GInside of yesterday
Dm        C Hey let's run around
    CThe great escape
            GFrom out of my hometown

DmCountry roads
            CWould never let me stay
CThe way I played
          G        A*Inside of yesterday


- Bridge-thingy (No acoustic guitar) -


DmA devil's growl and cat's meow
Were blended into one
DmTermites called suburbanites
Were eating all the fun
  C             BbA juggernaut of comedy
    AmAnd blasphemy
  CI wanna stop the madness
                       DmBut I think it has to be


  DmI say so long
       CTo the way I played
    CThe way I played
          GInside of yesterday
Dm        C Hey let's run around
    CThe great escape
            GFrom out of my hometown

DmCountry roads
            CWould never let me stay
CThe way I played
          GInside of yesterday
Dm        C Hey let's run around
    CThe great escape
            G         DmFrom out of my hometown


Outro is repeating Dm again.
