[Verse 1]
ASomebody screamed and all of Jim Jeffries dreams
Explode against a bGlack fist
He falls to the floor
He stares up at the sAky and he may wish he knew why
But he can’t go bGack there no more
The Bmfuture sounds so crazy
We all hDmaj7eard that song before
TomorBmrow's the name we changed from yesterday to blame
When the tDmaj7rain just don't stop here anymore
I got sAtarry-eyed on the coaster ride
Andy said, "GMan, I need a break from the world outside
These days, my liAfe just careens through a pinball machine
I could do so much bGetter, but I can't get off the TILT"
TBm7here’s a photograph on the TV
Black and white and —
ADndy says something to you —
JBm7ack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like —
She says “I fDmaj7orget myself sometimes too”
Out past the dEsus4oorways where we are sleeping
The White QEueens creep and the tomcats peep
[Chorus 1]
And nDow I’m not breaking
The tEsus4rain’s just shaking
I nAever made it here before D
There's a Dmaj7Wild Mouse spinning the gEirls around
Til they caAn't take it anymore D
I used to drDmaj7eam in the dark of PEsus4alisades Park
AUp over the cliffs and dDown among the sparks
It’s a Dmaj7long life full of lEsus4ong nights
But it’s nF#mot what I was wEsus4aiting foDr
GEverybody's seen the hF#morses diving down the sBhore
It's a F#m7miracle they don't make them anymoBre
Esus4So…”Make up ladies”…Wake up baby
[Verse 2]
AYou walked into the bar like some Saturday star
Stud-straight on sGpiked heels and needles and nerves
You’re a dowAntown pride fully-amplified Clyde
Gin-tight and aGging but well-preserved
Remember ABm7ndy standing outside your bedroom window
Saying “Come on, let’s dDmaj7rive across to the Palisades
Bm7Keep going til we hit Reno, Nevada"
I don't see Andy all that mDmaj7uch these days
Still, there are pBmages in back of the Action stacks
Esus4Where the White Queens creep and the tomcats peep
[Chorus]
ADnd the train’s not braking
The tEsus4rack’s just shaking
And I neAver made it here beDfore
There's a Dmaj7Sky Rocket turning the wEsus4orld around
Til I cAan't take it anymorDe
You can Dmaj7carry that spark from PaEsus4lisades Park
ADown over the cliffs and oDut into the dark
It’s a lDmaj7ong life full of loEsus4ng nights
But it’s nF#mot what I was lEooking Dfor
GEverybody dreams of hoF#mrses flying ‘round the shBore
It’s a Dbad dream we’re not haEsus4ving anymAore
[Bridge]
Amaj7Man, have you seen ABm7ndy?
Hey mAmaj7an, have you seen him around? Bm7
Hey mAmaj7an, have you seen my, my, my, my, my, my ABm7ndy?
Hey man, have you sAmaj7een him?
Have you seen her?
Have you seen him?
Hey, have you seen Andy aBm7round?
Amaj7Dressed up in our pirate best
ABm7ll leathers and feathers and pearls
Andy said “LEsus4ook at me man!
I am cookin’
These hands could finAger up this whole world!”
He said “Come outsiAmaj7de
Climb oBm7ut your bedroom window
Esus4Shimmy down the fire escape
And sAay goodbye”
Come outAmaj7side
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like EdBm7ie
Changing all the time
My lEsus4eopard spots to polka dots"
And sAay goodbye"
Come outsideAmaj7
Maybe we could move to CaliBm7fornia
Just mEsus4eet me at the subway
And saAy goodbye
Come ouAmaj7tside
The cops all think we’re cBm7razy
But if you stay, you’ll just get maEsus4rried
To a girl who’ll never know you
And then sAay goodbye
HAmaj7ey Man, have you seen Andy?
I lBm7ost her in the sun
I was hEsus4igh as a kite on Lovely & White
Man, you could lose anAyone
Hey hey mAmaj7an, have you seen Andy?
I don't knBm7ow where she's gone
Esus4Real love outlives teenage lust
We could get Amaj7wet and it keeps us warm
[Verse 3]
Esus4Love is like Angel Dust -
Lovely sometimes changes us.Amaj7..sometimes not
Esus4Have you been aching with trust or just
Bm7Have you been waking yourself with lust…?
Dmaj7Have you been making us up or just taking us homeB?
AIt's a long wait at a lAmaj7ong light
ACars frozen in flight
All the tGraffic stops to stare
At a cBm7rosswalk in Reno, Nevada
Dmaj7Wearing nothing but air
And a pair of gBm7rey paper wings
Andy thinks “I gDmaj7ot nothing to wear”
Bm7We got nothing new and…
Dmaj7We got nothing to wear…
Bm7We got nothing to wear…
Dmaj7We got nothing to wear…
