Social Distortion - Footprints on my ceiling
Standard tuning
Intro:
F, C, G, Bb F x2
Verse 1:
F C
Everybody wants a lover, nobody wants to uncover
G Bb F
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
F C
Wanna go without a care, pull gardenias from her hair
G Bb F
I think of a time we didn't have a care in the world
F C
Captivated by her beauty, I knew it was my life long duty
G Bb F
She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen
Chorus:
C Gm
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
Bb F C
How do you hear without listening?
C Gm
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
Bb F C
How do you take without gi-ving?
Bb F
And we keep it all inside?
Verse 2:
F C
There are footprints on my ceiling, I can't help this fucked up feeling
G Bb F
Something's wrong, you ain't comin' around here no more
F C
Try to get my thoughts together, I think of a time when things were better
G Bb F
This miscommunication is breakin' me down
Chorus:
C Gm
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
Bb F C
How do you hear without listening?
C Gm
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
Bb F C
How do you take without gi-ving?
Bb F
How you treat your new best friend?
Solo:
F, C, G, Bb F x6
Verse 3:
F C
Everybody wants a lover, nobody wants to uncover
G Bb F
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
F C
My heart is heavy slowly sinking, I redirect my desperate thinking
G Bb F
And kiss her red full lips, like I did the very first time
Chorus:
C Gm
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
Bb F C
How do you hear without listening?
C Gm
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
Bb F C
How do you take without gi-ving?
C Gm
There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah
Bb F C Gm
And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life
