Capo 2
G Cadd9
Foals in winter coats
Am
White girls of the North,
F C
File past one, five and one,
C
They are the fabled lambs
D
of Sunday ham,
Am
The EHS norm
G Cadd9
And they could float above the grass
G
in circles if they tried
F C
A latent power I know they hide
C
To keep some hope alive
D
that a girl like I
Am
could ever try,
G
Could ever try
Em C D
So we just skirt the hallway sides
Em
A phantom and a fly
E C D
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection
G Cadd9
A week of rolling eyes,
Am
and cheap shots from the trite,
F C
And we're off to Nemarca's porch again,
C
Another afternoon
D
with the goat-head tunes,
Am
And pilfered booze.
G Cadd9
We wander through her mamma's house
G
The milk from the window lights
F C
Family portrait circa '95
C
This is that foreign land
D
of the sprayed-on tans
Am
And it all feels fine
G
Be it silk or slime
Em C D
So, when they tap our Monday heads
Em
Two zombies walk in our stead,
E C D
This town seems hardly worth our time
Em C D
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Em
Too far along in our climb
E C D
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection
G Cadd9 D
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
(repeat 4x)
Em C D
So when they tap our Sunday heads
Em
Two zombies walk in our stead,
E C D
This town seems hardly worth our time
Em C D
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Em
Too far along in our crime,
E C D
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection
G Cadd9 D
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
(repeat to fade 8x)
