C
Em D (x6)
[Verse]
Em Bm
Run so far to escape
C
This place where people like me were made
C Bm Em
But you always end up back here when you're lost
Em Bm
You always seem to crawl back
C
To the arms you're least wanted
C Bm Em
Because nothing ever changes around
Em Bm
You tried so hard to get by
C
And do the things that you like
C Bm Em
And the only thing that's lost out here is you
Em Bm
Memories playing her to the doubt
C
She's on her knees to help him out
C Bm Em
Cause nothing ever changes around
Em (x3)
G D Em C (x4)

I love this place

And melodrama that it brings
G D Em C
But loving artists, it just ain't my thing

Eyes blinded by the lies
N.C C

You're thinking more stoned than him
C Bm Em
Cause nothing ever changes around
Em (x3)
G D Em C (x4)
[Chorus]
G D
I love this place
Em C
And melodrama that it brings

But loving artists, it just ain't my thing

How long it's gonna be, before you, you suss me?

Song 6: Bite Down Salvador
No Capo
[Verse 1]
D#m C# B
Let me get my zipper up and my boots on
D#m C# B
No one will know what's gone on
D#m C#
Except the conscious eyes
B
That followed you around the room all night
D#m C# B
If only she could've bitten her tongue
[Chorus]
B C#
Half the time she's honest with lies
B C#
Because the truth's too hard to believe
[Verse 2]
D#m C# B
So you let her go now, you let her go
D#m C# B
She's holding your arm as she greets all your friends
D#m C#
The lights come back on
B
And the dreaded walk home in the rain
D#m C# B
You'll never hijack these eyes again
[Chorus]
B C#
Half the time she's honest with lies
B C#
Because the truth's too hard to believe
[Instrumental]
D#m C# B
[Verse 3]
D#m C#
You leave my party with your left-handed cigarette
B
And you look awful cold
D#m C# B
I'd love to hate you but your smell's still on my jeans
D#m C# B
I'm standing in this wreck cause of your smile
N.C N.C
You leave my body, yeah, you leave my body
D#m C# B
I love your voice but I hate when you speak
[Outro Instrumental]
D#m C# B
Thank You !!!
