D A
I don't believe in heaven, I do believe in hell
G A
It's down the street from here, And we both lived there for years
D A G
We burned the calendars for warmth, And the alarm clocks just for fun
A
We closed the blinds to make goddamn sure
G
That we could never see the sun
F
You could set a watch by the bottle returns
Bm G D F#
And the ashtrays overflowing on the floor
Bm D G A A
Nothing's free but time when you're so damn poor
D Bm
But the past was death row, And the future's a battlefield
G A
I hope we choose the right war
D Bm
Because I've been fist fighting gravity, Since the day I learned how to breathe
G A
And I still wake up On the same cold floor i fell asleep on
D A G G
So I won't, but we shall overcome someday
D A G G
I can't do it alone, but I shall be free someday
D A Bm G
I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die
D A Bm G
Vampirism is for poseurs in junior high
D Bm F#m G
D A
We made our own postal system, To cross the continent
G A
As long as freight trains run And loners pick up dreamers with thumbs
D
Who needs governments to get a letter to you
A
Or a mixtape to me, or a postcard to Johnstown?
G
What's a thousand miles between friends?
A
What's a friend that's not worth crossing a country?
D A
But I owe money and broken hearts
G
From Philly to Sydney and back to Vermont
D
(yeeeah) I regret a million things
G A A
And that's only what I haven't forgot
D Bm
But the past was a mine field, And right now is a prison break
G A
I hope we make it alive
D Bm
When who we are doesn't stop where the law begins
G A
Then we'll storm their court houses to survive
D A G G
So I won't, but we shall overcome someday
D A G G
I can't do it alone, but we shall be free someday
D A Bm G
I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die
D A Bm G
Vampirism is for poseurs in junior high
