Philadelphia by Spoonboy
Philadelphia
F -> G
A
two hours north of the nation's capital,
E
i took a break from what would be my final days
Bm
in a prison of my own making to see a friend who had said,
D
"hey come on over," a favorite band,
E
and an ex-lover's ex-lover.
A
and ryan said that he liked my company,
E
so i didn't leave that night
and stuck around for his birthday.
Bm
we rode out to the tops of the oil cans,
D E
to a pool in the woods and i jumped in...
A -> E -> D -> F
A
perpetually lost and so
i made my way across the zip codes,
E
sold tapes to the smaller distros,
learned cliches of the drifter's ethos.
Bm
learned addiction to new faces:
D E
the pros and cons of being place-less.
A
and my friends seemed stuck.
but i didn't know what to say,
E
so i addressed the chorus
and asked each voice individually.
Bm
they all said "i'm doing this for my parents,
i wish i had other choices.
D
it's not really what i want,
E
but i can't stand to be a disapointment."
A -> E -> D -> F
A#
and i wanted to say how at the end of the day
F
you're just accountable to your memories.
Cm F
and if you can't lament what might have been...
Cm F
you'll never be a disapointment.
A#
but i couldn't find the words somehow,
wrote down the names of the college towns,
and waved out the window
F D# F D#
as the dots on the map passed by.
B
and ryan said that he liked my company,
F#
and though i know i never told him,
well it really meant a lot to me,
C#m
and i said i'd make a point to always stop on by.
E F#
and i know that i don't, but i think about it every time
B F# E G
that the greyhound glides past philadelphia.
B F# E G
and then the greyhound cries for philadelphia.
