lost in west Omaha

Verse 2

F#m

And we'd get drunk and kiss,

F#m

our bodies twist like shoelaces

F#m

And we never came untied,

I guess you were just my type

F#m

You know that summer never stopped,

I still pretend I'm there

F#m

The band's in the living room,

the neighbors, they never cared

Verse 3
Bm 
A 
So when I sat behind the drum set,

F# 
Never quite figured out,
Em 
D 
G 
how to deal with what life had dealt
Bm 
F#sus4 
Bm 
He put a needle in his
Em 
D 
G 
arm to calm his handsome hell
F#sus4 
F# 
F#m 
Who would've imagined it,
Em 
D 
G 
could've worked out so well?
F#sus4 
Now he's a shape that moves
F# 
Em 
D 
G 
like echoes through my empty room

Verse 5
F#m 
And there's a voice that speaks,
Esus4 
Em 
D 
G 
like someone's right behind me
D 
F#m 
Bm 
F#m 
I turned around and found exactly
Esus4 
Em 
D 
G 
what you would expect
F#m 
The clothes I left on    my floor,
Esus4 
Em 
D 
G 
the      pa  pers piled on my desk
Bm 
F#m 
But where the ink is wet, the cause,
Esus4 
Em 
D 
G 
effects,  what's meant by it?

Verse 6
F#m 
The story that is incomplete,
Em 
D

the picture's left unfinished
G

So I am writing my own ending,
Em

I let my pen bleed black or blue

it will be gold and green and true
