Stoked for this CD. Please support this band, they are unbelievable.
I took a go at this song. These chords are for
Acoustic but it should be pretty spot on to play along with
the actually song. Sorry if any of it is wrong.
1/2 Step Down
CEigarette smoke dances G#mback in the window
And I cAan see the C#mhaze on the Bdome light.
I`m Econjuring ghosts on a G#mforty-hour ride home
And tAhey keep asking me what I`m C#mdoing with my Blife,
While my cAousins go to Bbed with their C#mwives.
I'm fAeeling like I've fBallen behF#mind.
Well the hEighway won.
I`m lG#mistening to traffic reports,
AOne on one, coming qC#muietly undBone.
I was bEorn to run G#maway from anything good
An esAcape artist`s son
With sun-drenched C#mpavement in my bBlood.
The fAirst thing that I Bdo when I walkC#m in
Is plAan a way oBut for when F#mshit gets bad
And C#mI`ve been loBoking fAor tEears in the scC#mreen door.
(tBears in the scAreen door)
C#mI`ve been waBiting fAor anEother diC#msaster.
(aBnother disAaster)
E – G#m - A - C#m - B
I`m tEerrified like a G#mkid in the sixties,
SAtaring at the sky wC#maiting for the bBomb to fall.
It`s aEll a lie, what they G#msay about stability.
It sAcares me sometimes,
The C#memptiness I sBee in my F#meyes.
All the G#mkid`s names I’ve eveAr liked are tied tBo tragedy
AndF#m I don’t want mG#my children growing up Ato be anything liBke me.
And C#mI`ve been loBoking fAor tEears in the sC#mcreen door.
(tBears in the scAreen door)
C#mI`ve been waBiting fAor anEother diC#msaster.
(aBnother disAaster)
But C#mI was kind of hAoping you`d sBtay.
I C#mwas kind of hAoping you`d stEay.
A - E - B
I keep a fC#mlashlight
And a sAmall knife in the cEorner of my Bbed stand.
I keep a fC#mlashlight and the tArain times,
But you wouldn’tE understand.
How could you uBnderstand?
Jesus CC#mhrist. I`m Atwentysix.
All the pEeople I graduated wBith
All have C#mkids, all have wAives,
All have pEeople who care if they cBome home at night.
Jesus CC#mhrist, did I fuck Bup?
And C#mI`ve been loBoking fAor tEears in the scC#mreen door.
(tBears in the scAreen door)
C#mI`ve been waBiting fAor anEother diC#msaster.
(aBnother disAaster)
But C#mI was kind of hAoping you`d sBtay.
I C#mwas kind of hAoping you`d sBtay.
I C#mwas kind of hBoping you`d sEtay.
