[Verse 1]
Em G
Walking around at night
Am
Fighting my appetite
Em
Every kid in cutoffs could be you
G
Remember when we used to meet?
Am
At the bottom of Mobile Street
Em
And do what the broken people do
[Chorus 1]
G D
Are you still taking notes?
Am
The Holy Ghost could get inside you
C G
You'd do whatever you put your mind to
D
Will you read me what you wrote?
Am
When we were locked outside the building
C
Over encouraged, only children
[Verse 2]
Em G
Cold coffee on the fire escape
Am
We bet it all on a demo tape
Em
And we still had something left to steal
G
Remember when we took too much?
Am
To get a little of the human touch
Em
Hand to mouth and reel to reel
[Chorus 2]
G D
Are you still taking notes?
Am
Hydrocodone in your backpack
C G
Maybe these words will hold the beast back
D
Will you read me what you wrote?
Am
The one I said you stole from Dylan
C
Over encouraged, only children
[Interlude]
Em* G* Am* Em (x2)
[Bridge]
C C/B Am
"Heaven's wasted on the dead"
C
That's what your mama said
C/B Am C
When the hearse was idling in the parking lot
C/B Am
She said you thought the world of me
C
And you were glad to see
C/B D
They finally let me be an astronaut
[Solo]
G D Am C (x2)
[Chorus 3]
G D
Are you still taking notes?
Am
Will you have anyone to talk to?
C G
Castle walls that you could walk through
D
And do the dead believe in ghosts?
Am
Or are you lost in some old building
C
With over encouraged, only children
[Outro]
Em* G* Am* Em (x2)
