Tom : D
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D
Bobby was a kid from ‘round the town
G
Kicks pumped up and head held down
D G
Underwater more than he was up
D
He dreamed submarines and bottle green
G
Imaginary flight machines
D G
But in blue jean flairs he’d bubble like a 7-up
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F#m Bm
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
G D/F# Em
Shoot it ‘til you feel alive and play one more show
[Chorus]
C G D
Look into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around
A
You can’t stop feeling
C G D
The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound
A
And you can’t help healing
C G
And they want you and you want to
[Próxima Parte]
D A
With your lips on fire and your head unscrewed
C G D G
But it’s time to whip another chain and hit onе more town
[Verse 2]
D
Bobby doesn’t know her namе
G
He holds on tightly just the same
D G
Sometimes one more night is all you need
D
I met Alice near the Alamo
G
One summer in San Antonio
D G
I remember her, I don’t remember me
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F#m Bm
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
G D/F# Em
And man anything to feel alive and play one more show
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
D A
With your lips on fire and your head unscrewed
C G D
But it’s time to whip another chain and hit onе more town
[Bridge]
G
Alice knows the secret
F#m7
And she could tell you now
Em
If you want to
Fmaj7
Because they want you
C
Do you want to
[Verse 3]
D
Sneak and sparkle pen glide
G
And it’s hard to feel and I can’t get high
D G
And I don’t always understand how to survive
D
Man kids get sick of being bottled up
G
And it drags you down ‘til you throw it up
D G
Gotta get outa the house take a ride on the radio dial
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F#m Bm
And everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
G D/F# Em
Yeah everything that feels alive is in one more show
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
D A
If the kid's so clean with his soul shampooed
C G D
And it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
C G D
Oh yeah it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
C G
Hey man it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
[Outro]
