Long Island Blues Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C Am F Em G

I Csee a drug bust in your eyes

There are Fbruises on your tChighs

I can teFll you’re trying toC hide, all the FdarknesAms in your Gmind

You Cgot saw dust on your toes

From that Fsports bar down the Croad

You have bFeer glass in your feCet, you say kFiss me Amon the cGheek

Some Cpeople get paid to talk

Some pFeople get paid to lCisten

Some pFeople buy a tickCet and can’t Fwait foAmr intermiGssion

Just Clike some will love you blindly

Some wFill love you with coCnditions

Some wFill love you like an Cunborn child loves FfamilAmy tradGition

NowC she is tainted by the syringe

Trying to Frhyme a word with oCrange

I’m a chFeap and ugly sinCner, to who soul lFove iAms forGeign

So if you’re sFideways

And if you wanna go Cmy way

Before a meteoric shGower

Decides the earth should be devCoured

Whether you’re locked up in a tFower

Or you’re charging by the hCour

In mama’s eyes you are a flGower

Forget the after taste if life got sCour

Will you finish what you stFarted

Travel the seas you never pCarted

Remember things you disregGarded

Communicate with the depCarted

Believe in things you thought weren’t fFounded

Prepare to always be astCounded

Or keep your dreams and visions grGounded

It took a while but then I fCound it.

NoC one inspired you in time

So you lFeft your love behCind

In a woFrld that can discoCurage one who is youFng and fAmull of cGourage

YouC said you’d start at the bottom

But Finstead you start at theC top

Be cFareful what you wish fCor because on your laFp it mAmight just Gdrop

So Cit’s a lonely life at the bottom

Can be Flonely too at the tCop

Make suFre your heart is siCnging right unFtil the dAmay it stGops

TheyC’ll say dream but what they mean

Is Fbe specific or obCscene

It’s Ftime to find some Ctime to fail at wFhat makes Amyou most Ghappy

SomeCtimes you concentrate on lovers

To fForget everything elCse

SomeFtimes you hate eachC other to foFrget youAm hate yoGurself

So if you’re sFideways

And if you wanna come Cmy way

Before a meteoric shGower

Decides the earth should be devCoured

Whether you’re locked up in the Ftower

Or if you charge 'em by the hoCur

To me you’ll always be a flowGer

Forget the after taste if life got sCour

Will you finish what you sFtarted

Before you celebrate with a cigaCr lit

Remember things you disregGarded

Communicate with the depCarted

Prepare to always be astFounded

Believe in things you thought weren’t fCounded

Don’t keep those dreams and visions grGounded

It took a while but now I fCound it.
