The air was magic

The riverboat was

rockin' in the rain

Burnout stuck their toes on

garbage bale
G

Waitresses are crying in the rain
Em 
Will her boyfriends pass
Bm 
D 
A 
this way again?
D 
Her old mother goose,
she's on the skids
Em 
The shoe ain't happy,
neither are the kids
F#m 
She needs someone that
G 
she can scream at
D 
A 
And I'm such a heel for
makin' her feel so bad

I guess I'll call it sickness gone

meaning of this song

An ambulance can only go so fast

buried in the past

When you try to make the good thing last

I promise I'll be back soon
I saw today,
in the entertainment section
Em 
There's room at the top,
for private detection
F#m 
To mom and dad,
G 
D 
this just doesn't matter
But it's either that,
A 
or pay off the kidnapper
G 
And all you critics sit alone

You're no better than me

D 
Well, I'm up in Teal, keepin' jive alive
Em 
And out on the corner,
it's half past five

But the subways are empty
D

and so are the cafés
D 
Except for the farmer's market,
A 
D 
I still can hear him say
G

You're all just pissing in the wind
Em 
Bm 
D 
A 
You don't know it, but you are
G 
C 
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Em 
Who can tell you
D

But I never knew a man
could tell so many lies

He had a different story
for every set of eyes

D 
G 
who he's talking to
D

because I know it isn't me
