[Verse 1]
Emaj7 E5 A5
Shakedown 1979,
Emaj7 E5 A5
cool kids never have the time
F#m B5 Emaj7 E5 A5
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet
Emaj7 E5 A5
junebug skipping like a stone
Ema7 E5 A5
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
F#m B5
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
[Hook 1]
E5 A5 E5
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
A5 E5 A5
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
F#m B5
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Emaj7 E5 A5
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 E5 A5 Emaj7 E5 A5
double cross the vacant and the bored
Emaj7 E5 A5
they're not sure just what we have in store
F#m A5
morpine city slippin dues down to see
[Hook 2]
E5 A5 E5
that we don't even care as restless as we are
A5 E5
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
A5 B5
and poured cement, lamented and assured
C#m A5
to the lights and towns below
B5 C#m A5
faster than the speed of sound
B5 C#m A5 F#m B5 Emaj7 E5 A5
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
[Verse 3]
Emaj7 E5 A5
Justine never knew the rules
Emaj7 E5 A5
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
Emaj7 E5 A5
no apologies ever need be made
F#m
I know you better than you fake it
B5 E5 A5 E5
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
[Hook 3]
A5 E5 A5
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess
F#m B5 Emaj7 E5 A5
forgotten and absorbed into earth below
[Outro]
Emaj7 E5 A5
the street heats the urgency of sound
E5
as you can see there's no one around
