Intro: Cmaj7 G (x4)
Cmaj7
In matching blue raincoats our shoes were our showboats
G
we kicked around
Cmaj7
From stairway to station we made a sensation
G
with the gadabout crowd
Cmaj7
And oh what a bargain we're two easy targets
G
For the old men at the off-tracks
Cmaj7
Who've paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars
G
Which we squirreled away
Em Am Asus2 Am
In our rat-trap hotel by the freeway
C Cmaj7-C G
And we slept in Sundays
Cmaj7
Your parents were anxious your cool was contagious
G
At the old school
Cmaj7
You left without leaving a note for your grieving
G
Sweet mother while your brother was so cruel
Cmaj7
And here in the alleys your spirits were rallied
G
As you learned quick to make a fast buck
Cmaj7
In bathrooms and ballrooms on dumpsters and heirlooms
G
We bit our tongues
Em Am
Sucked our lips into our lungs 'til we were falling
C
Such was our calling
Em D Am C
And here in our hollow we fused like a family
Em D C
But I will not mourn for you
Em D Am C
So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away
Am Cm
We're kings among runaways
G
On the bus mall
Cm G
We're down on the bus mall
Intro x2
Cmaj7
Among all the urchins and old chinese merchants
G
Of the old town
Cmaj7
We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball
G
And we never let the bastards get us down
Cmaj7
And we laughed off the quick tricks the old men with limp dicks
G
On the colonnades of the waterfront park
Cmaj7
As four in the morning came on cold and boring
G
We huddled close
Em Am Asus2 Am
In the bus stop enclosure enfolding
C Cmaj7-C
Our hands tightly holding
Em D Am C
But here in our hollow we fused like a family
Em D C
But I will not mourn for you
Em D Am C
So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away
Am Cm
We're kings among runaways
G
On the bus mall
Cm G
We're down on the bus mall
Cm G
We're down on the bus mall At this point Guitar comes in with Intro riff
Cm G
Down on the bus mall
D Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
Ohhhh
