Fmaj7 C G7
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
The last time I stole my father's keys
C G7
I couldn't have been older than nineteen
Fmaj7 C G7
I hightailed his car from New Jersey to Willow Grove
[Chorus]
F G Fmaj7 C G7
And you could not see their street signs through the smoke
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Between the dumpster diving, vandalizing
C G7
Suburban streets and disturbing the peace
Fmaj7
Everything we passed, we smashed
C G7
It was broken pavement and shattered glass
[Chorus]
F G Fmaj7 C G7
And you could not read the street signs through the smoke
F G
Just afterthoughts passing all of the laws we broke
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 C
Considered violent and reckless by North Philly detectives
Fmaj7 C
We occupied the space where we'd never have a thing to lose
Fmaj7
Between the bong rips and knife hits
C
Protestant booze, stick-and-poke tattoos
Fmaj7 C
We were just over-privileged youth seeking something to do
[Chorus]
F G Fmaj7 C G7
And I could not see my street sign through the smoke
F G C
Just an afterthought rushing past all the laws we broke
[Outro]
Fmaj7 G7 C
When the morning came, I woke up in bed back at home
