Rotting Strip Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GBlurry Ceyes half bent and GI can’t take you Dsober

GTricking off the rCotting strip that Gwe’ve been

trudging Dunder

EmWe ducked into a Cdim lit room out wGhere the river bDends

GAnd turned to walk the Cburning bridge that Gwe would build

And cDrossed our hearts half hoCping

That Gwe could bDoth quit smCoking

And kGick the Dbooze and bClow

And oGne day Dgo make sComething of oursDelves

GGlory cCame and went the niGght we both slippDed under

G‘Neath Cthe row of oil slicGks and ancient ugDly lovers

EmSome they say theC price you pay is Gfar too much to Dspend

GBut they don’t know the cCost is fair if for aG while

It keDeps your heart from crumbCling

And we’d Gtake what we want when we kCnew what we wanted

When we wDished we had something to lGose

You were aC fine young Gthing crammed in your Ctight red vinyl

jGeans

I was a tChird rate goEming nowhere bCurning for nothing tDo do

GBoredomC settled in and I cGan’t take you sobDer

GStrewn across the Crotting strip thatG we’ve been building

Dover

Em‘Til nothing madeC its wicked way slGow creeping intoD view

GWhere we could watch thCe burning bridge thaGt we half built

DAcross our hearts now bCroken

And wGe could boDth quit smoCking

And kGick the boDoze and bloCw

And oGne day gDo make somCething of oursDelves

And we’d Gtake what we want when we kCnew what we wanted

When we wDished we had something to lGose

You were a Cfine young tGhing crammed in your tCight red vinyl jeans

I was a tChird rate goEming nowhere bCurning for nothing to Ddo

So we braGnded our hearts and we toasCted the stars

Getting wDasted by the light of the mGoon

you were a Ctwo bit tramGp - I was a low life lCying sGcum

We were a Cbad lay coming uEmndone burningC for someone to Duse
