[Intro]
Em9 Gmaj7 Am Em9 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em9
Walking around at night,
Gmaj7
Fighting my appetite
Am Em9
Every kid in cutoffs could be you.
Remember when we used to meet,
Gmaj7
The bottom of Mobile Street,
Am Em9
Do what the broken people do.
[Chorus 1]
G D
Are you still taking notes?
Am
The Holy Ghost could get inside you
C
And do whatever he put your mind to.
G D
Will you read me what you wrote
Am
We were locked outside the building
C
Over-encouraged only children
[Verse 2]
Em9
Cold coffee on the fire escape
Gmaj7
Bet it all on a demo tape
Am Em9
But you still had something left to steal.
Remember when we took too much
Gmaj7
Get a little of the human touch
Am Em9
Hand to mouth and reel to reel.
[Chorus 2]
G D
Are you still taking notes?
Am
Hydrocodone in your backpack
C
Maybe these words will hold the beast back.
G D
Will you read me what you wrote?
Am
The one I said you stole from Dylan
C
Over-encouraged only children.
[Interlude 1]
Em9 Gmaj7 C Em9 (x2)
[Bridge]
C C/B Am
"Heaven's wasted on the dead.”
That's what your Mama said
C C/B Am
And the hearse was idling in the parking lot.
C C/B Am
She said you thought the world to me
And you were glad to see it
C C/B D
You finally let me be an astronaut.
[Interlude 2]
G D C (x2)
[Chorus 3]
G D
Are you still taking notes?
Am
Do you have anyone to talk to
C
Castle walls that you would walk through.
G D
And do the dead believe in ghosts?
Am
Or are you lost in some old building
C
With over-encouraged only children.
[Outro]
