[Verse 1]
D Em
Went to see the new baby,
A G
and we smoked weed on the back porch.
D Em
And, lying on my back with the pool floatie,
A G
Raining Blood just thundering forth,
D F#m
I said, what do you say your parents take your place
A G
for an hour? We can drive downtown,
D F#m
to our old favorite place, let the years just melt away,
A G
and find ourselves back where we were found.
[Verse 2]
D Em
But there's not a soul down on the corner,
A G
and that's a pretty certain sign
D Em
that I shouldn't try to play the reformer,
A G
picking up pieces of that old gang of mine.
D F#m
But what would they say if it went the other way,
A G
and we flew to today through ten years of time?
D F#m
They'd be ashamed. I'm so sure they'd be ashamed
A G
at what I claim to be doing with my life.
[Verse 3]
D Em
Now they're all paired off and kissing
A G
the other half goodnight,
D Em
and then falling deep into the same sleep
A G
while walls and warm sheets shut out the light.
D F#m
And I'm the only one, at the top of my lungs,
A G
who's still singing sweet adelines.
D F#m
They're all filled up, they don't need the love
A G
that I'm bringing that old gang of mine.
[Outro]
D Em
Not a soul down on the corner,
A G
they're all safe sitting down behind smooth sheets of glass.
D Em
I guess it's not going to get any warmer,
A G
and I guess it's raining slow until it's raining fast.
