The Hold Steady - 212 margarita

Some nights it just takes like a s^Amile and a s^Ehake. And I've been with the bodies, ^{A E} and I've been with the blood, ^{A E} and I went with Halleluiah and she didn't say a thing,^{A B} she just wiped at her nose and then she winked. ^{A E}

And I've been with the cops, ^{A E} and I've been with all the squares, ^{A E} and I went with St. Deborah of defeat and depression, ^{A B} she put her hand up on my shoulder and then she just kinda stood there. ^{A E}

And she^E/F# said, "Call me (212) m^Aargarita. 'Cause I'm g^C#mreen, and I'm misleading, and I've had ^Btoo much tequila.&qu^Aot;

And I've been with short tempers,^{A E} I've been behind the sharp knives, ^{A E} I believe the shots in the distance to be cold hard facts, ^{A B} Ringing out against the radios and the speaker stacks. ^{A E}

And I've been with the hoodrats, ^{A E} I've been with all the hangers on, ^{A E} I stayed out 'til dawn at some raunchy magazine launch,^{A B} and I hit the open bar and got myself all turned on. ^{A E}

And she said &q^E/F#uot;Call me (612) blood^Ay mary. 'Cause I'm ni^C#mce, and I'm spicy, and I^B'm your only sure shot at recovery.&^Aquot;

She said, &q^E/F#uot;Call me (212) marga^Arita. I'm g^C#mreen, and I'm misleading, and I've had ^Btoo much tequila.&qu^Aot;

L^F#meave a message at the Mo^Atel 6, and^E let me k^E/F#now if you still so s^Aick. We^F#m'll be in town on a three night s^Atick, and^E maybe if you're feeling better then^E/F# we could get some soup t^E/G#ogether, we've been sick toget^Aher before."

And I believe in the bodies, ^{A E} and I believe in the blood, ^{A E} and I believe in salt along the rims of the glasses, ^A 'cause that makes us^B thirsty, and when we drink then we all f^Aall in ^Elove. I believe in the bodies, ^{A E} and I believe in the blood, ^{A E} and I believe in salt along the rims of the glasses, ^A 'cause that makes us^B thirsty, A E(End) and when we drink then we all fall in love.
