Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
[Verse 1] D Hundreds of stories G Before I showed up D They'd tell them to me G And pull photos up Em They're all connected D Like a pair of handcuffs G No one seemed affected A That everyone is fucked D But there was a softness G Some kind of understanding D Those am decisions G Always shaky landings Em And no one ever knew D What could be demanded G Maybe it's the cards A The cards that she was handed
[Chorus] GDA You called me up from a pay phone BmA I said Hang tight I can drive you home GDA I pulled on up and with a southern accent BmA I offered you my dad's leather jacket
[Verse 2] D I met her at a party G She'd come straight from work D Complained that the regulars G Were all a bunch of jerks Em She always looked tired D But she dazzled as a drunk G She even pulled off A That stupid hair cut D She said I don't need a sponsor G Or the best lover D Just a man that sees me G As some fixer-upper Em The last few years D I've been running for cover G Trying to sleep A So I can visit my mother
[Chorus] GDA You called me up from a pay phone BmA I said Hang tight I can drive you home GDA I pulled on up and with a southern accent BmA I offered you my dad's leather jacket
[Chorus 2] GDA When times were tough in the worst years BmA We never knew how to interfere GDA And now you're back and just unpacking BmA Those bruised up takers you keep attracting
[Bridge] Em In September D/F# When it goes off G Like some god damn A Alarm clock Em And he hits her D/F# Like a third shot G Conversations A She just stares off Em There's no longer D/F# A voice calling G When she goes out A Saying I'll be up waiting for you
[Chorus] GDA You called me up from a pay phone BmA I said Hang tight I can drive you home GDA I pulled on up and with a southern accent BmA I offered you my dad's leather jacket
[Chorus 2] GDA When times were tough in the worst years BmA We never knew how to interfere GDA And now you're back and just unpacking BmA Those bruised up takers you keep attracting
[Outro] GDA You call me up from a pay phone Bm - A - G Ooh-ooh-ooh (x4) And I said Who the fuck uses a pay phone
