The Bottom

Em                  Am
a small riot in a passenger van
          D                        
seems you traveled a long way to 
  G                D/F#
get laid and get the glass in your 
hand
Em               Am
a new fixture, a lease on the street
         D                         
how's it feel to be watched when 
  G                   D/F#
you sit with the drunks in the cheap
 seats
Em                     Am
so come early it's the first of the 
month
         D                   G    
taking only beginners, ten below 
                   D/F#
and it feels like a punch in the jaw
Em            Am
There's so many to chase
     D                            
if i get out in front, they won't 
G               D/F#
bother with the look on their face


C
two days from the southern state
Em                                
who knows how long the ocean 
                 D
breaks for you so drown
                           Em
in the way things used to be
C
and hell waits on the sober dates
            Em
for the young skinny pale by the 
summer lake,
         D                       
talking fast to avoid the begging 
                 C
questions they await


[Verse]
Em                   Am
Sole witness never taking the stand
      D                        G  
one hour to listen but seven 
               D/F#
nights to sleep with the band
Em                              Am
will you lie if you can't get along
         D                         
with the east village boys as they 
        G       D/F#
lean back and inhale the smog
Em                        Am
shoot straight with a crooked stare
         D                        
and stay out with the girls who put
                   G           
 all the bright colors in their 
  D/F#
hair, do they talk
Em     Am
so little do they care
         Dㅤ                    
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ    G     
       D/F#
is this what you came for, or the 
late night's going nowhere

C
20 years and you can't relate
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤEm
to the d-street girls who don't 
cooperate
         D                         
with the elder state trying hard to
                   Em
 teach them a lesson
         C
when the wind and the water and the 
winter waste
         Em
make you shake like a newborn in the
 nurse’s face
             D                     
and the neighbors have escaped with
                      C
 all the heat you can stay with me


[Chorus]
G             Em
you came around
          C                Am
drank the bottom from this town
        G         D            C
saying "this will bring us together"
G             Em
you came around
            C               Am
fucked with all the boys in town
        G      D        ㅤㅤㅤC
saying "we can live forever"

[Verse]
Em               Am
Young able and socially tight
        D                        
she had one foot out the door and 
     G            D/F#
two boys for the rest of the night
Em                  Am
ten minutes tipping in her seat
        D                          
for someone to take the offer or a 
G                  D/F#
brawl to break out in the back 
streets
Em                   Am
so come early second day of the week
           D                    
and you'll get a straight answer 
          G                D/F#
from the poets making out with the 
deadbeats
Em                        Am
so Lord knows what you're doing here
            D                      
but if you sail through the winter 
          G                D/F#
you'll be hammered for the rest of 
the year


C
too fucking old to make so many 
mistakes
           Em
you were fucking so young, you 
didn't know what to take
          D                     
from your family and friends and 
                              Em
they won't return your phone calls
C
street lights call a different race
       ㅤEm
mixing vodka and wine in a cigarette
 case
         D                       
how many times can I pray for the 
           C
morning after, amen


[Chorus]
G             Em
you came around
          C                Am
drank the bottom from this town
        G         D            C
saying "this will bring us together"
G             Em
you came around
            C               Am
fucked with all the boys in town
        G      D        ㅤㅤㅤC
saying "we can live forever"
G             Em
you came around
          C                Am
drank the bottom from this town
        G         D            C
saying "this will bring us together"
G             Em
you came around
            C               Am
fucked with all the boys in town
        G      D        ㅤㅤㅤC
saying "we can live forever"
