The Menzingers tune down a half-step, so they play this with a capo on the second fret,
but if you're in standard, you'd play with a capo on the first fret.

[Verse]
G
Long for the words with hearts and wings
G
Something familiar when you miss everything
Em
You rest your head against the window pane
G
Feet on the dash through the steady rain
G
I drove you home while you slept in the front seat
G
After a show at the Stone Pony
Em
Watch you awake so god damn sweetly
G G/F# Em
Over the Walt Whitman Bridge back to Philly
[Interlude]

G
I toss and turn at four in the morning
G
Petrified of where our future's going
Em
'Cause you're the kind of girl that deserves the world
G
I'm just the kind of guy that promises the world
G
So I fix a drink nice and strong in the kitchen
G
Something quick that'll cure my conscience
Em
Creep back to bed and I kiss your forehead
G G/F# Em
Maybe everything is fine and it's all in my head
[Interlude]

A little Irish in your blood

A little Polish in your name

A little Boston in your attitude

Just the way you were raised

[Verse]
G
We drove up to Massachusetts together
G
Your old house was just like you remember
Em
We stayed in your adolescent room
G
Rummaged through the boxes labeled "former you"
G
The souvenirs of happiness in the moment
Em
Your wild years that you often mention
G
The sands of time in an hourglass
Am
That you're always begging for back
D
I got drunk in the afternoon
G
with your father in the living room
Em
As the television broke the silence
Am D
You smiled, know that I was trying the best that I can do
[Chorus]

A little Boston in your attitude

Just the way you were raised

Just the way you were raised
