Uppers Aren't Necessary Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Lead me through these
cities of imaginary trends
[D]Som[Em]ething's gonna be changing
come the morning time my friend
As [C]fickle as these streets are they might not
even wait around [G]till [D]then
I've [G]got a lot to loose so come and
take it from me [D]quick

[Verse 2]
[Em]Everything you loose if it makes you
stronger it makes you sick
[C]Take these cities from me I'll build
buildings up with my own
Bare [G]hands[D]
[C]The uppers aren't necessary
the [G]guilt is the coal
That [D]keeps the fire burning

[Verse 3]
to [Em]drive out the cold
That [C]creeps
In every corner crack and
nev[G]er leaves you alone
[D]Till the lonely
Messengers come [Em]calling you [C]back

[Verse 4]
[G]home[D][G]
The trees are stacked
In rows on the side of the [D]road
[Em]Stripped of any dignity a birthing

[Verse 5]
May have had
[C]100 thousand crucified on
the Mojave [G]I-5 [D]line
[G]Singers shepherds and salesmen
all longing for someone
To [Em]kill the joy of wondering
and end all their desire
To [C]help them to remember

[Verse 6]
that
the road is nothing but a li[G]ar[D]
The [C]uppers aren't neces
[G]sary the guilt is the coal
That [D]keeps
The fire burning to [Em]drive out the cold
That [C]creeps in every Corner crack and [G]nev

[Verse 7]
er leaves
you alone
[D]'Til the lonely
Messengers come [Em]calling you back
[Am]To the red door, cracked

[Verse 8]
And crooked [Em]walk way
The [G]fence impaling [B]the [Am]stars
Ghostly
Keepers [Em]lead the way through

[Verse 9]
[G]
railroads [B]of abandoned [C]cars
The [D]tracks and city [B]streets cut through [C]like [D]scars
