Fmaj7
Night sunshine, the ghetto-bird chimes 4am
C Am
Welcome to the West a mosquito to kiss your hands and feet
Fmaj7 G C
Welcome to this dirty business
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
I was surprised when you called me a lady
Am G Fmaj7
Cause I'm still not so sure that that's what I wanna be
Em Am C
Cause I remember the 80's
Fmaj7 Am C
And I remember its puffy sleeves
Fmaj7 C
You say I'm lucky to be here
Am C
Then maybe you can take this over
Fmaj7 Am C G
And I'll gladly wear the pants into the next century
Fmaj7 C
Past the scanners with ease
Am C Fmaj7
Past armies of them who once played in a band
Am C Fmaj7
And wasted it complaining like a trust fund kid
Am C Fmaj7
Paying you to play here while they hate you because of it
C Em Fmaj7
You say I'm lucky to be here
C G Fmaj7
But I've been driving for 21 days
[INTERLUDE]
C G Fmaj7
Oh Oh Oh
C G Fmaj7
Oh Oh Oh
C G Fmaj7
Oh Oh Oh
[VERSE 2]
Em C
What's that nasty sound? The e-brake drags the ground
G C
God, if you only knew what my candied fist could do
G C
The curtain's closing in from all directions
G C
Just answer my question perhaps it's best if I continue
G C
Starring me as you, me as you
G C
Starring me as you, me as you
G C
And there you are at the edge of the world
G C
Mmm-mmm dangling with my heart a' pounding
Am G
Above a gulf of hamstrung promises
Fmaj7
You sang like Auld Lang Syne
G Am C Fmaj7
You wanted it so badly that you believed them at the time
C Am
Every fashion's flame every jet plane lie
C Fmaj7 Am
Every second helping of that off-ramp fame we die a little
[OUTRO]
C Am
You're right I'm from Nowhere
C Am
You're right I'm from Nowhere
C Am
You're right I'm from Nowhere
C
You're right
