CONOR OBERST —SUGAR STREET— Record store day, released on 9th of December 2014 Chordified by THE ORAL POETS: http://theoralpoets.bandcamp.com/ A Bm How the hell is everything Since I've been away D A Is the weather any better? Did the landlord fix the drain? A Bm Did Louie sell his paintings? Did Kevin quit his job? D A Will you tell him that I love them and I miss y'all a lot A Bm Thought about deserting Jumping on a plane the other day D A It was just a fleeting feeling man I'm usually okay A Bm When I'm holding conversations in a language I don't speak D A And coughing on the radio and screaming in my sleep A Bm I'm just tired of feeling tired Tired of getting drunk D A Took a picture for the paper and they made me stand in front A Bm But I shouldn't be complaining there's been people at the show D A I even saw the Eiffel tower in the souvenir snow globe A Bm There's just a couple more and then a day off in Amsterdam D A I'm gonna check into a hotel get fixed up if I can Bm E A D You know I promised I'd be careful With the company I keep Bm E A D E And I hold myself together until I'm back on Sugar Street, Sugar Street A Bm You start at the beginning and go on to the end D A Sometimes a perfect stranger might end up your only friend A Bm First you nod politely cause you're not that interested D A Ask some abstract question like a bored psychiatrist A Bm But then you get to talking about the plastic in the sea D A The nightmare of their childhood and reality tv A Bm It starts to sound familiar like you're coming back to life D A Make some observations start offering advice A Bm Always look in both directions when you go to cross the street D A And if you jump off any buildings make sure you land on your feet Bm E A D Oh promise you'll be careful With the sympathies you seek Bm E A D E Cause I know you feel better Once you're back on Sugar Street, Sugar Street Bm E A D And Oh, I promise I'll be careful When I put myself to sleep Bm E A D E And I hope that I feel better Once I'm back on Sugar Street, ah Sugar Street
