[INTRO]
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G
[VERSE ONE]
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G Em
It's always locusts or floods or drought
Cmaj7 G
And then it's parties or prayer
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G Em
He picks a girl he can live without
Cmaj7 G
And puts her down over there
[CHORUS]
Em Am7 G D
Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore
Em Am7 G D
Philly drinks and he drinks all the drunks hit the floor
Em A7 Em
Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down
A7 Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown
[VERSE ONE]
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G Em
Congratulations you hit the mark
Cmaj7 G
You got the bird on the wing
C#m7b5 C G
The animatronic bloodhounds bark
Em Cmaj7 G
The wind up mockingbirds sing
[CHORUS]
Em Am7 G D
Philly thinks and when he thinks you can't feel anymore
Em Am7 G D
Philly drinks at least he did when you knew him before
Em A7 Em
Philly sinks, but now the glass is a girl
A7 Cmaj7 G F Am G
And now the girl is a frown
[BRIDGE]
Em A
But you can put in your orb
C
What you're hoping for more
G F C Em
Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around
A C
And if the rowing gets dull just knock a hole in the hull
G F C G Em G Em G Cmaj7 G
And let the ocean swallow you down
[CHORUS]
Em Am7 G D
Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't swim anymore
Em Am7 G D
Philly drinks until the tide pulls away from the shore
Em A7 Em
Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down
A7 Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown
