Shakedown 1979,

Emaj7 E A
cool kids never have the time

F#m B Emaj7 E A
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet

Emaj7 E A
junebug skipping like a stone

Ema7 E A
with the headlights pointed at the dawn

F#m B
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all

E A E
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues

A E A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess

F#m B
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Emaj7 E A
Emaj7 E A Emaj7 E A
double cross the vacant and the bored

Emaj7 E A
they're not sure just what we have in store

F#m A
morpine city slippin dues down to see

E A E
that we don't even care as restless as we are

A E
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts

A B
and poured cement, lamented and assured

C#m A
to the lights and towns below

B C#m A
faster than the speed of sound

B C#m A F#m B Emaj7 E A
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope

Emaj7 E A
Justine never knew the rules

Emaj7 E A
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls

Emaj7 E A
no apologies ever need be made

F#m
I know you better than you fake it

B E A E
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues

A E A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess

F#m B Emaj7 E A
forgotten and absorbed into earth below

Emaj7 E A
the street heats the urgency of sound

E
as you can see there's no one around
