EG#
Half asleep with the sun coming up out east
F#BF#E
We're driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing
G#F#
I can remember the words - "this was a beautiful night
BF#
It won't, it won't ever happen this way again"
[Pre-chorus]
EB
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here
F#G#F#
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
EBF#
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took
G#F#E
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world
[Chorus]
B
And the story opens up with you
G#F#
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume
E
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls
F#G#
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls
B
And I stumble on from Uptown bars
G#F#
I guess that's all I've got so far
E
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
F#G#
You save me and you save yourself
[Verse 2]
EG#
It ends so soon, the night and the fading moon
F#BF#
I put my hand inside yours, the city looks strange and significant
EG#
I know these streets, the place where I'll live and die
F#BF#
Resigned to that fact, but I, I'm hoping it happens this way again
[Pre-chorus]
EB
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here
F#G#F#
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
EBF#
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took
G#F#E
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world
[Chorus]
B
And the story opens up with you
G#F#
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume
E
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls
F#G#
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls
B
And I stumble on from Uptown bars
G#F#
I guess that's all I've got so far
E
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
F#G#
You save me and then you save yourself
[Interlude]
BEG#E
[Chorus]
B
And the story opens up with you
G#F#
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume
E
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls
F#G#
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls
B
And I stumble on from Uptown bars
G#F#
I guess that's all I've got so far
E
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
F#G#E
You save me and then you save yourself
[Outro]
B
Fall asleep to the radio
G#
Try to keep what I got from you
F#E
Hard to do in these dreary days
