Intro:
Em Am G D x3
Em Am D

G Am C
Charlemagne shakes in the streets
G Am C
Gideon makes love to the suites
Em Am
and Holly's not invincible
F C
in fact she's in the hospital
Em Am D
not far from that bar where we met
Em Am G D
on that first night

Em Am G D x3
Em Am D

G Am C
Charlemagne pulls street corner scams
G Am C
and Gideon's got a pipe made from a Pringles can
Em Am F C
Holly's insatiable, she still looks incredible
Em Am D
But she don't look like that same girl we met

Em Am
on that first night
G D Em Am G D
when she was golden with floorlight and beer
Em Am
on that first night
G D Em Am D
she slept like she'd never been scared


Piano Solo


Em Am
And then last night
G D Em Am G D
She said "Words alone never could save us."
Em Am
And then last night
G D Em Am D
She cried and she told us about Jesus

Em Am
Holly's inconsolable
F C
Unhinged and uncontrollable
Em Am D
'Cause we can't get as high as we got

PAUSE

on that first night


D Em C x3

D Em C
Boys and girls in America x5

D

... Em
Don't bother talking to the guys
C D
with their hot soft eyes
Em C D
you know they're already taken
Em C D
Don't even speak to all those sequencer and beats boys

Em C D
when they kiss they spit white noise (White Noise) x7



Gorgeous song, enjoy.
Johan
