[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][C]
[G][Em][Am][C]

[Verse 1]
I [G]went with you up to the [Em]place you grew up
And [Am]we spent a week in the c[C]old
[G]Just long enough to [Em]Walden it with you
Any [Am]longer, it would've got [C]old
Singin' [G]"Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
But [Em]nothing's changed,
L.A.'s [Am]al ri[C]ght
I'm [G]sleepin' in my bed again
And [Em]gettin' in my head and then
[Am]Walk around the [C]reservoir[C]

[Chorus 1]
[G]You[Em]
You [Am]must've been lookin' [C]for me
Send[G]in' [Em]smoke signals
[Am]Pelicans circl[C]ing
Burnin' [Em]trash [G]out [C]on the [C]beach

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][Am][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]One of your eyes is [Em]always half-shut
Somethin' [Am]happened
when you were a [C]kid
[G]I didn't know you then
and [Em]I'll never understand
[Am]Why it feels l[C]ike I did
[G]"How Soon Is Now" in an
[Em]eighties sedan
[Am]You slept inside of it b[C]ecause your dad
[G]Lived in a campground in the
[Em]back of a van
You said [Am]that song'll
creep you out [C]until you're [C]dead

[Chorus 2]
And [G]you[Em]
[Am]Must've been lookin' [C]for me
Send[G]in' [Em]smoke signals
[Am]Pelicans circl[C]ing
Burnin' [Em]trash [G]out [C]on the beach

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][Am][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]I wanna live at the H[Em]oliday Inn
Where [Am]somebody else makes the [C]bed
[G]We'll watch TV while the [Em]lights on the street
[Am]Put all the stars to d[C]eath
It's been [G]on my mind since Bowie died
Just [Em]checking out
to hide [Am]from [C]life
And [G]all of our problems,
[Em]I'm gonna solve 'em
With [Am]you ridin' shotgun
[C]Speeding 'cause fuck the [C]cops

[Chorus 3]
And [G]you[Em]
You [Am]must've been lookin' [C]for me
Send[G]in' [Em]smoke signals
[Am]Pelicans circl[C]ing
Burnin' [Em]trash [G]out [C]on the beach

[Interlude 3]
Mm- [G]mm[Em][Am][C]

[Verse 4]
I [G]buried a hatchet, it's [Em]comin' up lavender
The [Am]future's unwritten, the [C]past is a corridor
[G]I'm at the exit,
[Em]lookin' back through the hall
[Am]You are anonymous, I[C] am a conc[C]rete wall
[C][C]

[Outro 1]
[G][Em][Am][C]
[G][Em][Am][C]
[Repeat and fade]
