Cmaj7 In matching blue raincoats, our shoes were our showboats G we kicked around Cmaj7 From stairway to station, we made a sensation G with the gadabout crowd Cmaj7 And oh what a bargain, we're two easy targets G For the old men at the off-tracks Cmaj7 Who've paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars G Which we squirreled away Em Am Asus2 Am In our rat-trap hotel by the freeway C Cmaj7-C G And we slept in Sundays Cmaj7 Your parents were anxious, your cool was contagious G At the old school Cmaj7 You left without leaving a note for your grieving G Sweet mother while your brother was so cruel Cmaj7 And here in the alleys your spirits were rallied G As you learned quick to make a fast buck Cmaj7 In bathrooms and ballrooms, on dumpsters and heirlooms G We bit our tongues Em Am Sucked our lips into our lungs 'til we were falling C Such was our calling Em D Am C And here in our hollow we fused like a family Em D C But I will not mourn for you Em D Am C So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away Am Cm We're kings among runaways G On the bus mall Cm G We're down on the bus mall Intro x2 Cmaj7 Among all the urchins and old chinese merchants G Of the old town Cmaj7 We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball G And we never let the bastards get us down Cmaj7 And we laughed off the quick tricks, the old men with limp dicks G On the colonnades of the waterfront park Cmaj7 As four in the morning came on cold and boring G We huddled close Em Am Asus2 Am In the bus stop enclosure enfolding C Cmaj7-C Our hands tightly holding Em D Am C But here in our hollow we fused like a family Em D C But I will not mourn for you Em D Am C So take up your makeup and pocket your pills away Am Cm We're kings among runaways G On the bus mall Cm G We're down on the bus mall Cm G We're down on the bus mall (At this point, Guitar 2 comes in with Intro riff) Cm G Down on the bus mall D Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Ohhhh
