Standard (EADGBE)
Intro riff
the intro and verse part where ben slides up the guitar are easy to play
its an E chord, and then slide it up so your pointer finger is on the sixth fret, and
other two are on the seventh.
Intro
Life will tower (??) a quarter scale, of precious oxygen we never inhale,
i cracked a bottle against the safety rail, give me time
and you were like a walking compliment, tall in stature and exceptionally well read,
adobe glasses and a cartigan, oh come on
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
you said that all these things you've learned to ignore, hidden cameras on the casino floor
and what gets payed for behind hotel doors, oh come on
and pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
people stare into their eyes and they feed them little prizes, in they go
and entering the twilight, the basement where the sun had never spilt, you said that
were lonely, then we kissed like lonely people do
you said the city has a beating heart, that pushes people down the boulevard
and they're all hoping for a wishful fill, in the desert full of dollar bills
and foolishly you know they pay me still, oh come on
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
