---------------------
E A D D A E
A E (X2)
A E
Somebody screamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams
D
Explode into a black fist, he falls to the floor
A E
He stares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why
D
But you can't go back there no more
F#m
Future sounds so crazy
A
We've all heard that song before
F#m
Tomorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame
A
When the train just don't stop here anymore
A E
I got starry-eyed on the coaster ride
D
Andy says, "man I need a break from the world outside"
A E
These days my life just careens through a pinball machine
D
I could do so much better but I can't get off the tilt
F#m
And there's a photograph on the TV
A
Black and white and Andy says something to you
F#m
Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like
A
She says, "I forget myself sometimes too"
F#m
Out past the doorways where we are sleeping
B
Well, the white queens creep
And the Tom cats peep
Chorus
------
A
Now I'm not breaking,
B
The train's just shaking,
E A
I never made it here before,
A B
There's a white mouse spinning the girls around,
E A
'Til they can't take it anymore
A
I used to dream in the dark
B
of Palisades park
E
Up over the cliffs and
A
down among the sparks
A
It's a long life
B
Full of long nights
E B A
But it was not what I was waiting for
D C#m F#m
Everybody's seen the horses diving down the shore
C#m F#m
It's a miracle they don't make them anymore.
E
So make up ladies, wake up baby
A E
You walked into the bar like some Saturday star
D
Stud-straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves,
A E
You're a down town pride, fully amplified Clyde,
D
Gin-tight and aging but well-preserved,
F#m
Remember Andy outside your bedroom window,
A
Saying "come on, let's drive across to the Palisades"
F#m
Keep going 'til we hit Reno, Nevada
A
I don't see Andy all that much these days,
F#m
Still there are pages in back,
Of the action stacks
B
Where, the white queens creep
And the Tom cats peep and...
A
Now the trains not braking,
B
The track's just shaking,
E A
I never made it here before,
A B
And there's a sky rocket turning the world around,
E A
'Til I can't take it anymore
A
You can carry that spark
B
from Palisades park
E A
Down over the cliffs and out into the dark
A
It's a long life
B
Full of long nights
E B A
But it was not what I was looking for
D C#m F#m
Everybody dreams of horses flying round the shore
C#m F#m
It's a bad dream we're not having anymore
E
Man,
F#m
Have you seen Andy?
E
Hey man hey man!
F#m
Have you seen him around?
E
Hey man!
F#m
Have you seen my my my my my my my Andy?
E
Have you seen him? x 4 Hey!
F#m
Have you seen Andy around?
E
Dressed up in our pirate best
F#m
All leathers and feather and pearls
A
Andy said, "look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could
E
Finger up this whole world"
E
He said, "come outside
F#m
Climb out your bedroom window
A E
Shimmy down the fire escape and say good-bye
E
Come outside"
F#m
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie
A E
Changing all the time my leopard spots to polka dots and say good-bye
E
Come outside
F#m
Well maybe we could move to California
A E
Just meet me at the subway and say good-bye
E
Come outside
F#
The cops all think we're crazy
A
If you stay you'll just get married
E
To a girl who'll never know you and then say good-bye
E
Hey man, have you seen Andy?
F#m
I lost her in the sun
A
I was high as a kite on lovely and white
E
Man, you could lose anyone
E
Hey hey man, have you seen Andy?
F#m
I don't know where she's gone
A
But real love outlives teenage lust
E
We could get wet and it keeps us warm
F#m
Love is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us
E
...sometimes not
F#m
Have you bee aching to trust or just...?
A
Have you been waking yourself with lust...?
F#m A
Have you been making us up or just taking us home?
E
It's a long wait
E
At a long light
E
Cars frozen in flight
A
All the traffic stops to stare
F#m
At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
A
Wearing nothing but air
F#m
And a pair of grey paper wings
A
Andy thinks, "man, I have got nothing to wear"
F#m
We got nothing new and
A
We got nothing to wear
A
We got nothing to wear
A
We got nothing to wear
