Verse 1
(G major) Sorry, I keep knocking
over bottles (A minor) of water.
(C major) Oh, and then I just banged the record (G major) on.
I'm losing it up here, people.
(A minor) (C major) (Csus2) (C major) (G major)
(A minor) (G major)
(C major) I remember when I wrote this (G major) song
people would say are you that guy in that song you know is this is that really about you an (A minor) d I uh
I would say no no (C major) that's that's just a character (F major) in a song (C major) but (G major) then uh with the wisdom of years passing
i (A minor) see that it was totally me
and he's kind (C major) of like um an anti -hero
an (G major) d an empty drifter
searching for noth (A minor) ing in particular (F major) really (A minor) al (C major) though i came to love
this character uh which (G major) i guess is a good thing since he was me (A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Snow on the (A minor) railroad tracks,
dogs (C major) in (G major) the moonlight
Stoned out on (A minor) Kilauea,
(C major) tryin' to (G major) get it just right
If holding hands (A minor) in that room
ring (C major) s out (G major) forever
In a time that was (A minor) still too soon
Then (C major) why should (D major) he (D minor) care?
(D major) He had a (C major) rambling (G major) soul
He (D major) drank a (C major) bottle of (G major) cheap wine
(D major) Turned up his (C major) collar to the (G major) floor
He (D major) waited
He waited for (G major) a sign
Fueled by amphetamines (A minor)
An (C major) d visions of (G major) beauty
As far as the (A minor) eye could see
Was (C major) all that he strived (G major) for
A witch with sins (A minor) in her sin
Said (C major) he looked like (G major) Jesus
He silenced her (A minor) rage and sin
And (C major) walked out the (D major) door
He had a (C major) rambling (G major) soul
He (D major) drank a (C major) bottle of (G major) cheap wine
(D major) Turned up his col (C major) lar to
the cold (G major) and waited (D major)
And waited for (G major) his side
Oh, yeah, he's still waiting for it (A minor) (C major) (G major)
Oh, (A minor) oh, oh, oh, (C major) oh,
Interlude 1
oh
(G major) (A minor) (C major)
(G major) (A minor) (C major)
(G major)
Verse 2
(G major) Under (A minor) the urban sky
He (C major) stands with his (G major) eyes closed
If anyone (A minor) asked him why
He (C major) would not (G major) know
He's lost in America (A minor)
He's (C major) hell bent for (G major) no place
A rusty har (A minor) monica that (C major)
won't even (G major) play
He's lost in America, (A minor)
(C major) he's helping for (G major) no flair
A rusty har (A minor) monica that
(C major) won't (G major) even play
All right, all right
He's lost in America
He's lost in America
Thank you! Thank you!
You were better singers
than the first (G major) audience.
That's no lie. (A minor)
That's not just (F major) late -show propaganda,
that's the truth. (G major) (A minor) (F major)
Not (G major) the most (A minor) perfect pitch
I've (F major) ever heard,
(G major) but a good (A minor) heart and (F major) real good execution,
so good job.
I (G major) give you about (A minor) an 8 .7 (F major) on the delivery,
8 (G major) .7's (A minor) good.
I'm (F major) a real harsh critic. (G major)
(A minor) (F major) (G major) (A minor)
(F major) Another water bottle for me to kick over
I just (G major) opened. (A minor) (F major)
Dude, I need a pick (G major) . (A minor)
(F major) I just started trying to say the word dude
in (G major) the past six months or so.
(F major) It's not going that great.
I say it all the (G major) time,
but it never (A minor) really sounds natural
(F major) or proper
for me to say dude.
I just said, dude, (A minor) I need a pick.
(F major) How'd that sound?
What do you guys think?
(G major) Do I keep saying dude or not?
(F major) He calls his kids dude.
(G major) Dude, thanks for the pick. (F major)
No, she said no.
(G major) That was just (A minor) about as vehe
ment of a Noah
as I've ever (G major) heard.
You really feel strongly about the dude.
No, dude.
Isn't it kind of endearing
that I do it so badly though?
No, nothing good about it. (G major)
I'm too cool for dude.
Dude, okay, okay.
Thanks.
