Version 1
[Verse 1]
A D
Foals in winter coats
Bm
White girls of the North
G D
File past; one, five, and one
D
They are the fabled lambs
E
Of Sunday ham
Bm
The EHS norm
[Verse 2]
A D
And they could float above the grass
A
In circles if they tried
G D
A latent power I know they hide
D
To keep some hope alive
E
That a girl like I
Bm
Could ever try
A
Could ever try
[Chorus 1]
F#m D E
So we just skirt the hallway sides
F#m
A phantom and a fly
F# D
Follow the lines
E
And wonder why
E
There's no connection
[Verse 3]
A D
A week of rolling eyes
Bm
And cheap shots from the tribe
G D
And we're off to Nemarca's porch again
D
Another afternoon
E
Of the goat-head tunes
Bm
And pilfered booze
A D
We wander through her Momma's house
A
The milk from the window lights
G D
Family portrait, circa '95
D
This is that foreign land
E
With the sprayed-on tans
Bm
And it all feels fine
A
Be it silk or slime
[Chorus 2]
F#m D E
So, when they tap our Monday heads
F#m
Two zombies walk in our stead
F# D E
This town seems hardly worth our time
F#m D E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
F#m
Too far along in our crime
F# D E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
E
With no connection
[Bridge]
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
[Chorus 3]
F#m D E
So, when they tap our Sunday heads
F#m
Two zombie walk in our stead
F# D E
This town seems hardly worth our time
F#m D E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
F#m
Too far along in our crime
F# D E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
E
With no connection
[Outro]
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
A D E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
