[Verse 1]
AFrom the corner of 3rd and BmWashington
Dsus2You can't see where your Aadd4brother went
Out Bmsomewhere past the beat cops
And Dsus2beautiful women who work for the Aadd4government
They walk Aby in air-Econditioned tunnels
That are Barchived above the street
While I Dsweat in my hot coffee
And Edaydream about how we might meet
A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2
[Verse 2]
Your Amother asked for a Bmpicture
She Dsus2says "today's your Aadd4birthday"
In some Bmstrung out western stutter
Making Dsus2all the world her Aadd4ashtray
She Aadjusts her Eaviators
With an Babsent shaking hand
Tilts the Dsus2camera forward forty-five degrees
And Ecalls out modeling commands
A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2
[Verse 3]
When we Aused to go to Bmparties
You'd spend Dsus2an hour before the Aadd4mirror
And I'd Bmdrink your gin
And ask about your Dsus2high school Aadd4souvenirs
Tacked Aon the wall Eabove the bed
An Bold Inkjet collage
But you were Dsus2never much for talking
So I kEnelt to your mirage
A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2
[Verse 4]
We'd Awalk the three blocks wBmestbound
In the Dsus2moonlit Philly Aadd4fall
And thBme party would be grand
All our frDsus2iends would grin with Aadd4pride
AAll our friends would beE so drunk
And have such pBleasant things to say
And at lDsus2ast, we'd see each other
In the wEay that we had dreamed to be seen
A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2
[Verse 5]
Those Anights your house kept sBmecret
We'd sDsus2tumble up the Aadd4stairs
My hBmands tore through your records
While your hDsus2ands unpinned your Aadd4hair
The Aboth of us still Egreen enough
To remove the otBher's clothes
A qDsus2uiet signal of devotion
That I am Ehappy to have known
