Note: This is my first attempt at doing something like this. Please be kind. I'm a novice and work with chords
almost exclusively on an acoustic. I think it still sounds good. The lyrics are different from other sources
online, but are correct. I ran the "Conclusion" section lyrics by Art Alexakis at a meet and greet after a show.
He thought it was funny people thought he was singing about Santa instead of what he is really.
Intro: D G F# G (Muted x1)
D G F# G (Load x 1)
Verse 1:
D G D
There was smoke in the air, When he came around and saw
G
He was really alone
D G D
Memories look like blood in the water, Sweet and ugly pain
G
Just like confetti in the rain
D G
He was known for his bedside manner
F# G
He wanted to believe That people only hear what they see
D G
He had a good time being the bad guy
F# G
He didn't wanna understand why That old song makes him cry
Chorus:
A G D
I remember when it felt like We were walking with God
A
Little heaven when the sun goes down
G
Walking hand in hand down On the promenade
D G F# G (x1)
Verse 2:
D G D
He was alone in a dark room, Overlooking the mall
G D
With a gun in his hand and no one to call
G
He was waiting for a reason to fade and run
D G
Just like photos in a window That turn blue in the sun
D G
People used to call it a breakdown
F# G
Now we medicate to make it go away
D G
People used to call it a mid-life crisis
F# G
He just sits there, looks at pictures of himself
A
From way back in the day
Chorus:
A G D
Remember when it felt like We were walking with God
A
Getting stupid in a stolen car
G
Making love in the garage Behind the promenade
Bridge:
D F#
I think I need to slow down
G E
I think I need to slow my roll
D F#
I need to put the gun down
G E
I feel so lost, I feel so out of control
D F# G
I broke myself in pieces to make my name
A#
I broke those people dumb enough to get in my way
D F# G
Now I look in the mirror and I can't see me
A#
How can you swallow the world and still be hungry?
Conclusion:
D G D
Remember when it felt like We were walking with God
Holding hands with my dad and my mom
A G
Walking in the light to see you sitting
On the promenade
