Julian Casablancas - Long island blues

I ^Csee a drug bust in your eyes There are ^Fbruises on your t^Chighs I can te^Fll you’re trying ^Cto hide, all th^Fe darkn^Amess in you^Gr mind You ^Cgot saw dust on your toes From that ^Fsports bar down the ^Croad You have b^Feer glass in your fe^Cet, you say k^Fiss me ^Amon the c^Gheek

Some ^Cpeople get paid to talk Some p^Feople get paid to l^Cisten Some p^Feople buy a tick^Cet and can’^Ft wait ^Amfor inter^Gmission

Just ^Clike some will love you blindly Some w^Fill love you with co^Cnditions Some w^Fill love you like an ^Cunborn child loves ^Ffamil^Amy trad^Gition

Now^C she is tainted by the syringe Trying to ^Frhyme a word with o^Crange I’m a ^Fcheap and ugly s^Cinner, to who soul^F love^Am is f^Goreign

So if you’re^F sideways And if you wanna go ^Cmy way Before a meteoric sh^Gower Decides the earth should be dev^Coured Whether you’re locked up in a^F tower Or you’re charging by the^C hour In mama’s eyes you are a ^Gflower Forget the after taste if life got s^Cour Will you finish what you st^Farted Travel the seas you never p^Carted Remember things you disreg^Garded Communicate with the dep^Carted Believe in things you thought weren’t^F founded Prepare to always be ast^Counded Or keep your dreams and visions gr^Gounded It took a while but then I f^Cound it.

No^C one inspired you in time So you l^Feft your love beh^Cind In a wo^Frld that can disco^Curage one who is you^Fng and f^Amull of c^Gourage

You^C said you’d start at the bottom But ^Finstead you start at the^C top Be c^Fareful what you wish f^Cor because on your la^Fp it m^Amight just ^Gdrop

So ^Cit’s a lonely life at the bottom Can be ^Flonely too at the t^Cop Make su^Fre your heart is si^Cnging right un^Ftil the d^Amay it st^Gops

They^C’ll say dream but what they mean Is ^Fbe specific or ob^Cscene It’^Fs time to find som^Ce time to fail at^F what make^Ams you mos^Gt happy

Some^Ctimes you concentrate on lovers To f^Forget everything el^Cse Some^Ftimes you hate each^C other to fo^Frget you^Am hate yo^Gurself

So if you’re^F sideways And if you wanna come ^Cmy way Before a meteoric sh^Gower Decides the earth should be dev^Coured Whether you’re locked up in th^Fe tower Or if you charge 'em by the ho^Cur To me you’ll always be a fl^Gower Forget the after taste if life got s^Cour Will you finish what you s^Ftarted Before you celebrate with a ciga^Cr lit Remember things you disreg^Garded Communicate with the dep^Carted Prepare to always be ast^Founded Believe in things you thought weren’t^C founded Don’t keep those dreams and visions ^Ggrounded It took a while but now I f^Cound it.
