Shakedown 1979,

                            Emaj7  E  A
cool kids never have the time

                                F#m             B           Emaj7  E  A
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet

                            Emaj7  E  A
junebug skipping like a stone

                                      Ema7  E  A
with the headlights pointed at the dawn

                               F#m           B
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all

     E           A                            E
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues

             A                              E              A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess

                  F#m                 B
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Emaj7  E  A
Emaj7  E  A                                      Emaj7  E  A
             double cross the vacant and the bored

                                          Emaj7  E  A
they're not sure just what we have in store

                     F#m          A
morpine city slippin dues down to see

     E             A                      E
that we don't even care as restless as we are

            A                              E
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts

              A                 B
and poured cement, lamented and assured

                  C#m     A
to the lights and towns below

B               C#m      A
faster than the speed of sound

B              C#m          A   F#m         B           Emaj7  E  A
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope

                           Emaj7  E  A
Justine never knew the rules

                                       Emaj7  E  A
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls

                             Emaj7  E  A
no apologies ever need be made

                           F#m
I know you better than you fake it

    B       E             A                          E
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues

             A                              E               A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess

                  F#m       B         Emaj7  E  A
forgotten and absorbed into earth below

                                    Emaj7  E  A
the street heats the urgency of sound

                                  E
as you can see there's no one around
