[Bm]
Downtown [D] north, past [G] the airport, [Bm] [G] a dream [A] in switchgrass and [D] concrete
Three [Bm] [D] gray floors [G]
of [D] smoky windows, [F#m] [D] [G] facing the street
[E] [D] Michael pulls the blinds back [Bm] up, [E] stares blankly [D] down at the [Bm] intersection
Watching for [A] the guy [G] who's got the angel [A] dust, [F#m] [D] crystal clear [E] connection
Days [G] like dominoes, [A] [Bm] all in a line, [G] we cheer for the home team, [A] every [Bm] time
[G] Lakeside view, [A] [Bm]
[G] lakeside view, [A] [Bm]
[G] lakeside view, [A] [Bm] for my [G] home crew
[Bm]
Most nights [D] now sleep in the kitchen, [G]
[Bm] [G] keep my [A] face cool on the [D] floor
[Bm] And John John [D] comes by to [G] drop off his [D] [F#m] envelopes, still playing [D] postman [G] after all these years
Pull [E]
down [D] my army surplus [Bm] jacket, [E]
dig through some [D] drawers to find the [Bm] keys
Emerge [A] transformed [G] in a million [A] years, [F#m]
[D] from dating [E] like these
[B] Under [G] each eye, [A] little grease [B] paint [Bm] smudge, but you [G] can't judge us, [A] you're [Bm] not the judge
[G] Lakeside view, [A] [Bm]
[G] lakeside view, [A] [Bm]
[G] lakeside view, [A] [Bm] for my [D] [G] home crew
And
[E] just before [Bm] I leave,
[E] I throw up in [Bm] the sink,
[E] one whole [Bm] life recorded
In [E] disappearing [Bm] ink,
[A] [G]
[B] and Ray left a [A] message, [G]
thumbtacked to [F#m] the door
I [Bm] don't [A] even bother [G] trying to read them anymore
