Shakedown nineteen seven nine, cool kids never have the time
3 -2” -5   -5   -5   5  -4   4   5  -4
On a live wire right up off the stre-et
-4  -4 -4 -3  -4     4
You and IIII should meet
-5 -5    -5   5   -4  4   5  
Junebug skipping like a stone
 3    3   -5  -5    -5  5  -4   4   3 
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
-5  -5   -5   -5  -5 5  -4  4   5 -4  -4 -4
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
-7  7  7   -7 -5   5  5   -5     5    -4 4   -4
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
 5  6  -6 6    6 5
And we do-n't kno-w
 5    -5    5   -4    4    7
Just where our bones will rest
7   -7  6 -5 5   -5
To dust IIIIIII guess
5 -5  5   -4  4  5  -4   -4 -4  -4 4   4 4
Forgotten and ab-so-rbed to the ear-th below
 
-5 5    -5    5  -5 -4  -4   4    5 
Double cross the vacant and the bored
 -5     -5   -5   -5   -5  5  -4   -3  3  
They're not sure just what we have in store
 -5 -5   -5 5  -4 4    5 -4   -4  -4 -4 4
Morphine city slipping du-es down to se-e
 6   7    7  -7 -5   5  -3” -5  5   -4 4   5
That we don't even care as restless as we are
5   6   -6 6 6 -5  4  -4   -5  5  5  -4  4     7
We feel th-e pu-ll in the land of a thousand guilts
 7   -7    6 -5 5 -5 5   4 -5 -4   -4  4 5  -4
And poured ceeeee-me-nt, lamented and a-ssu-red
-4 -4   -4    -4    5   4  4 3 
To the lights and towns be-lo-w
-4  4   -4  -4    5   4   4 3
Faster than the speed of so-und
-4 4    -4  -4   5      6  -6 6 -4  4  -4   5   -3   3  -4 4
Faster than we thought we'd g-o-o, beneath the sound of h-ope
 
 -5 -5  -5 5   -4   4   5
Justine never knew the rules,
-5    -5   -5   5   -4     4    3 
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
3  3 -5 -4 -5 -5 5  -4  4   5   -5  -5  -5  -5  5   -4   4   5   -4
No apologies  ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
4  -4 4  -6  7   7   -7 -5  5   5   -5     5    -4 4   -4
To se-e that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
 5  6  -6 6    6 5
And we do-n't kno-w
 5    -5    5   -4    4    7
Just where our bones will rest
7   -7  6 -5 5   -5
To dust IIIIIII guess
5 -5  5    -4 4  5  -4   -4 -4  -4 4   4 4
Forgotten and ab-so-rbed to the ear-th below
 5   -5     -5   -5  -5 5 -4  4  5
The street heats the urgency of now
-5  -5 -5    -5    -5 5  -4  4 4
As you see there's no-o one around
