The other version of this song had some problems so I made a better one.
Standard tuning, no capo.
G Em C
And I drove all the way home listening to the Gaslight Anthem.
G Em C G
And thinking how I can't stop letting people down, I'm surely not as cool as I was back in school.
G Em C
I'm on the 101 falling asleep, I got the letters that you wrote for me.
G Em C
Now here I am under golden arches, car in park, teary eyed, Mcgriddle in hand.
G C Em D x2
G Em C
My mind's a slow device, I like to picture life somewhat like a Rockwell painting,
G Em C
but great expectations just blister the paint.
G Em C
And I just wanna drink chocolate milk with my lovely, I just wanna burn this apartment.
G Em C
And I just wanna float through my life merely dreaming at any given mention of the government.
G C Em D x2
C D G Gmaj7 G7 G6 C D G
So I drive, heavy eyed, repeating "tramps like us were born to run", but I've got no one to run with.
C D G Gmaj G7 G6
And I'm cold, so I've been told that I should greet the sun and get shit done.
C D G
I think I'd rather just sleep in.
G Em C
Cause we're all just twenty five words in the obituary section.
G Em C
And everyday is just the passing of time, I think they call this depression.
G Em C G
I'm not lonely, just kinda overwhelmed again.
G Em C G
Cause I'm living proof you can still sing the blues in 2011.
Also, the easiest way to play the G chord progression during the slow part is to play a regular
open G (leave the B string open though) and play one fret lower on the high E string for each chord.
