Back when we were living on [C] one hand and pen She kept [G] threatening to turn us in
[C]
At night she [G] mostly liked us We used to pass [C] around the farmers
Some [G] nights she looked gorgeous
We [F] were living [Em] it, [G]
way too living it We didn't feel a thing, we weren't having it
[C]
Sweet part [G] of the city
[C] The parts where the bars and [G] restaurants
[C] We used to meet underneath the [G] monkeys
We used to nod off in the [C] late nights She claimed [G] that she was from Tennessee
Now it seems to me
[C]
[G] Practicing doesn't [C] equal rape time no [G] more It's like gravity [C] doesn't apply
[G]
Everything sparkles [C] and it feels like [G] we're on wheels
It was dark but I guess [C] that's the deal

Teresa came in [C] wearing see-through [G] And it was standard issue

[C]
Sweet [G] part of the city
[C] The parts where the bars [G] and restaurants
So [C]
we shut ourselves [G] out in the outer space Where structure breaks the [C] aftertaste
We were strong [G] but it was spacious
[C]
It's a long [G] way from Cedar Riverside to Cedar Sinai
[C]
To Tom St.
[G] Paul's shine
[Em]
It's [C]
a long way [G] from Sacramento chill
