It sounds good in capo 1 on acoustic, but I think Wil plays it in Eb using the chords A
E D instead of G D Cadd9 respectively.
Verse 1
GD
I was gonna lie and steal, my way to the stars,
Cadd9
I was gonna do it from the front seat of your own registered car,
GD
I was gonna pull my blindfold over everyone,
Cadd9
I was gonna find a way of making you fall for me, when I was done.
GDCadd9
But I'm not that young and I'm not that dumb anymore,
GDCadd9
No I'm not that young and I'm not that dumb anymore.
GDCadd9
Always, holding hands under the table,
With a keen eye for whatever's more available,
GD
Gotta be signatures with little hearts on every little note,
Cadd9
Left the first line blank in case someone caught your eye, while you wrote.
GDCadd9
And it's taken me this long to think we're anything, but you're his.
GDCadd9
And I always hated the taste of your pushy, drunken, alcoholic, ashtray lips
Chorus
Cadd9BABCadd9BAG
But the city gets pretty for those few hours when the trains aren't running
Cadd9BAB
And I'm locking down my door in advance,
Cadd9DGDCadd9
Cuz the wolves are coming, the wolves are coming
Verse 2
GD
Oh you meet me on the corner of, Johnson and Brunswick,
Cadd9
Singing my heart out for loose change with, my acoustic,
GDCadd9
Spending rainy days indoors trying to sing other people's protest songs,
It's a beautiful music.
GD
And I'm haunted by the ghost of my more famous friends,
Cadd9
I spend every season complaining, waiting for the season to end.
GD
I like to think that I'm encompassing but I'm always getting comfortable,
Cadd9
You never gave me twenty minutes just to catch my breath.
GDCadd9
You were kissing me, I'm fucking someone else.
Chorus

Cadd9BAB
And I'm locking down my door in advance,
Cadd9DGCadd9D
Cuz the wolves are coming, the wolves are coming
GCadd9D
And I'm not coming back, to the bars we used to drink at,
GCadd9D
Or the drinks we used to sling, or the people we used to drink with,
became the people that we used, and
GCadd9
Ever since you said you saw a mouse in my house,
D
Every single time I get high I see mice
GCadd9D
And the people that we used to drink with, became the people that we used
