[Intro]Am G C Em Am G C D
[Verse]
Am C Em G Am C D G
Aw it's dark outside
Am C Em G Am G C D
i've been trying to get a ride
Am G Am D
While my body waits, my body waits
C C/B Am Am/G G G/A Am Am/G
America warm my face
C C/B Am Am/G G G/A C
i've been trying to turn the page
[PreChorus]
Am G Em
Once I was a little boy,
Am D G
staring at my shoes
Am Em C Am C D
You came along and found me in the chicken coop
C Am
But time takes over, I can't say when
C D
Time takes over, may we do it again
[Chorus]
G Am
Take me to the beachhead let's go over
D
All of those rocks at the end of the road
G Am Em
And take me down to main street with no clothes on with our bare feet on the
C G Am Em
Painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind us
C G Am D
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot
C G Am Em
And we can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies
C G Am
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart
[Bridge]
Am G C Em Am G C D
[Verse]
Am C Em G Am C D G
Aw it's dark outside
Am C Em G Am G C D
i've been trying to get a ride
Am G Am D
While my body waits, my body waits
C C/B Am Am/G G G/A Am Am/G
America warm my face
C C/B Am Am/G G G/A C
i've been trying to turn the page
[PreChorus]

Once I was a little boy,
Am D G

Am Em C Am C D
You came along and found me in the chicken coop
C Am
But time takes over, I can't say when
C D
Time takes over, may we do it again
[Chorus]
G Am
Take me to the beachhead let's go over
D
All of those rocks at the end of the road
G Am
Help me down the seawall let's find marci
Em C G
See if she got that invitation to the movie,
Am Em
the one where the kids break out of juvie
C G Am D
And then by their own admission they go and turn themselves all in
C G
Just as they get there to the station,
Am Em
The young one wheels and begs the pavement
C G Am D
For brother speed to make arrangements with the spirits of the night
[Chorus]
G Am
Take me to the race track let's go bet on
C D
Aw the one that no one expects to win and
G Am Em C
Let's bet on the skinny horse he will surely try the hardest to come in first
G Am Em
I bet you for the winner they put on some kind of fancy dinner
C G
Let's be like those Philadelphia sisters
Am D
That have prayed straight for a hundred years
C G Am Em
I have no expectation, just to be here in the present
C G Am D
And behold you for a second before it all goes away
[Outro]
Em
Haa ah ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ah
C
Ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ah
Em
Ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ahh
Am D
Before that all goes away
Em
Haa ah ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ah
C
Ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ah
Em
Ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ahh ah ah
Am D Em C
Ahhh ahhh and those painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind
Em Am D
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot
Em C
We can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies
Em Am D
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart
