A               G                D
The perfect place may never exist, may never exist
            A              G               D
The perfect time, might be years and years away
            A                    G               D
The city is overweight, and it's pressing on the pair of us
             A                 G           D
We scowl and sweat beneath the overbearing crush


[Chorus]

      A     G                D
But I still want to be here, want to be here
  A             G                D
I still want to be here, want to be here
            A                 G                D
And I would live in a devil's ditch just to be near you
  A             G                D
I still want to be here, want to be here


[Verse 2]

         A                 G                  D
There is shit all over the street outside our house now
      A                 G                    D
Junk veins dance at the bus stop next to the rodeo clowns
           A             G                 D
Nowhere to run to, so we hide like mislaid infants
           A                  G                     D
Fuck these faceless homes and everyone who lives in them


[Chorus]

      A     G                D
But I still want to be here, want to be here
  A             G                D
I still want to be here, want to be here
            A                 G                D
And I would live in a shallow pit just to be near you
  A             G                D
I still want to be here


[Break]

D


[Chorus]

      A     G                D
But I still want to be here, want to be here
  A             G                D
I still want to be here, want to be here
            A                 G                D
And I would live in a shallow pit just to be near you
  A             G                D
I still want to be here
