Verse 1(power chords): DA Young scholar, young lovers EAE Unto the east and what will I discover AD Unto the west I could not love another DA Walk in circles, get dizzy EAE Fall into the asphalts of the city AD Waking up and everything is pretty D (hit once) Then you call me... AE And we talk long, A Go back the way that time E Here's how we're both drunk AD Just something that we can not even speak of AE And on the way home, did you hear me AE I was thinking so hard, thought I was crazy AD I know there's people looking at me funny
