Intro: F

            F
I can't live in this city

But I was born here
          Dm
And I know all these people

Where they went to high school
A#
Where they got their angle

Here they waited tables
C
Still call me brother

Like Cain and Abel


     F
There, see all those old men

How'd they get so swollen?
    Dm
I got so many broke friends

Who say I owe them
        A#m
From when we were children

How did it happen?
C
Where is it going?

                           Dm
Is that your question, man?
                   A#m              Dm
Where does all your frustration lie?
           C                               Dm
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
            A#m
Just try and have a good time
F   C   Dm   A A#m
All the rest aside
                           F
You're still one of my kind

F A Dm C

             F
I can't think in this city

But I remember
      Dm
I know every story that it ever told me
A#
Well, I got the blueprint

To create my own myth
C
That's what made it tragic

Like a summer snowdrift


      F
Yeah, going to call my first love

Meet her at the new club
Dm
Tell her all that I've done

Finally be forgiven
A#
And get good and drunk
A#m
Like it feels you're young
C
There are things against us

                              Dm
But I will fight tooth and nail
             A#m               Dm
Stand in the sickening sunshine
      C                     Dm
After staying out all night
          A#m
And maybe it's the good life
F   C   Dm   A A#m
All the rest aside
C   Dm   A A#m
The rest aside
C   Dm   A A#m
The rest aside
                           F
You're still one of my kind

F A Dm C


            F
I can't live in this city

But I'll probably die here
Dm
Maybe that's how you feel

Like a poisoned cornfield
A#
Like a best friend backstabbed

An abandoned train track
C
We're living straight-lined
                       F
Are you one of my kind?

F A Dm C

F

Notes:

Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For
chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out
as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to 
song will show you what sounds right.

F'  = 133200
A'  = x02200
Dm' = x00320
C'  = x32000
