Am
Smoking cigarettes in a strip mall 
parking lot
Dm
There’s nothing to do around here 
but hang out
C                             
Isn’t that just like everywhere 
  G
else?
Am
There’s a war veteran standing by 
the interstate on-ramp
Dm
Yeah, he’s asking for a ride; he’s 
hoping for a kick down
C                              G
Anything you can spare to give helps


Continues after the ad
(chorus)
           F                 C
And as the southwest Florida sun 
sets
    (C)           G/B           
The sky’s painted hues pink and 
Am
orange
C   G/B            Am
All directions are calling
        G             Am
Life is waiting to be ruined
        G             Am
Life is waiting to be ruined

Am
City cops come down and they bust up
 the party
Dm
We go to a diner, we drink bitter 
black coffee
C                                 
Gas station billboard reads three 
             G
forty-nine a gallon
Am
We’re coming down from the high, 
we’re starting to sober up
Dm                                
Boys crushing on girls crushing on
 boys into the southwest Florida 
C
morning
             G
We are still young

(chorus)
           F                 C
And as the southwest Florida sun 
sets
    (C)            G/B        
The sky’s painted hues pink and 
   Am
orange
C   G/B            Am
All directions are calling
        G             Am
Life is waiting to be ruined
        G             Am
Life is waiting to be ruined
        G             C G Am
Life is waiting to be ruined
