Verse:
Am F C G
Shake and stir yourself into, a bad excuse,
Am F C Em
a half-hearted 'fuck you'
Am F C
Imagine all the nowhere places we'd have been,
G Am F
my cynicism, aside and let me try
G
To turn these awful words
G
into a cure not a curse
Am F C
'Cause I'm still drawn by the kids in the corners
G Am F C Em
Those lovely angels, alone on benches
Am F
Still making pleas to the kid whose clothes don't fit
C
or hasn't found himself just yet
G Am F
let alone the chance to love
G
You cross them off your list
G
This shit is piling up hand over fist
Bridge
Am F C Am F C
Am F C Am F C
Chorus
G F
Got caught standing bored by the sidewalk
G F
Tried to turn the offer to a punk rock stage
G F
Got caught standing bored by the sidewalk
Am F
They cut and run at such a tender age
Outro
C F C
