Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][F][F]

[Verse 1]
[C][C]
[F]Shakedown 1979,
[C][C]
[F]cool kids never have the time
[C][C]
On [F]a live wire right up off the s[Dm]treet
You and [G]I should meet
[C][C]
[F]June bug skipping like a stone
[C][C]
With [F]the headlights pointed at the dawn
[C][C]
[F]We were sure
we'd never see an [Dm]end to it [G]all

[Chorus 1]
And [C]I don't even c[F]are
to shake these zipper [C]blues
And we don't [F]know
just where our bones will [C]rest
To dust I [F]guess
Forgotten and ab[Dm]sorbed
into the [G]earth below
[C][C][F][F]

[Verse 2]
[C][C]
[F]Double cross the vacant
and the [C]bored[C]
[F]They're not sure
just what we have in [C]store[C]
[F]Morphine city slippin' due[D]s,
down to [F]see

[Chorus 2]
That [C]we don't even [F]care,
as restless as we [C]are
We feel the [F]pull
in the land of a thousand [C]guilts
And poured ce[F]ment,

[Bridge 1]
lamented and as[G]sured
To the lights and [Am]towns be[F]low
[G]Faster than the [Am]speed of [F]sound
[G]Faster than we [Am]thought we'd [F]go,
be[Dm]neath the [G]sound of hope

[Verse 3]
[C][C]
[F]Justine never knew the rules
[C][C]
[F]Hung down
with the freaks and [C]ghouls[C]
No [F]a pologies ever need be made
[C][C]
[F]I know you
better than you [Dm]fake it, to [G]see

[Chorus 3]
That [C]we don't even [F]care
to shake these zipper [C]blues
And we don't [F]know
just where our bones will [C]rest
To dust I [F]guess
Forgotten and ab[Dm]sorbed
into the [G]earth below

[Verse 4]
[C][C]
[F]The street heats the urgency of now
[C][C]
[F]As you see there's no one arou[C]nd
