A Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][Dm][Am][G][Am]
[Dm]
[Am]I

[Verse 1]
used to be your favorite drunk
Good for [Bb]one m[Am]ore laugh
Then we both ran out of luck
Luck was all we ever had
[Dm]You put on a uniform
To fight the Civil War
You [E]looked so good I didn't care
What side you're fighting for
[Am]

[Verse 2]
It wasn't all that easy
When you up and walked away
But I'll save that little story
For another rainy day
[Dm]I know the burden's heavy
As you wheel it through the night
Some [E]people say [Em]it's [E]empty
But that don't mean [Em]it's light[C]
[Am][G][Am][Dm][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[Asus4]You[Am][G][Asus4][Dm][Am]
[Asus4]left me w[Am]ith the dishes[A]
[Am]And a baby in the bath[Dm]
[Am]You're tight with the militias
You wear their [Dm]camouflage
[Am]You al[Dm]ways said we're equal
So let me march with you
Just an [E]extra in the sequel
To the old red white and [Am]blue

[Verse 4]
Baby don't ignore me
We were smokers, we were friends
[Dm]Forg[Am]et that tired story
Of betrayal [Dm]and revenge
[Am]I see [Dm]the ghost of culture
With numbers on his wrist
Salute [E]some new con[Em]clusion
That all [E]of us [Em]have missed[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]I cried for you this morning
And I'll cry for you again
[Dm]But I'm not in c[Am]harge of sorrow
So please don't ask me when
[Dm]There may [Bb]be wine and roses
[Dm]And magnums of champagne
But we'll [E]never know
We'll never,
ever be that drunk again
[Em][D]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
[G]Okay[C]
The party's [G]over
But [F]I've landed on my [Fm]feet
And I'm stand[F]ing [C]here on
[G]this corner[Dm]
Where there [E]used to be a street
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[C]
The [G]party's over
But I've [F]landed on my [Fm]feet
I'll be stand[C]ing on this [G]corner
Where there used to be a street
[Dm][E]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
So let's [C]drink to when [G]its over
And let's drink to when we met
[F]I'll [Fm]be standi[F]ng o[C]n this corne[G]r
Where [Am]there used [G]to be a street

[Outro 1]
[Dm]
[E][Am][C][G][F][Fm]
[C][G]
