101 N Cifras

The easiest way to play the G chord progression during the bridge is to play a regular
open G (with the B string open and the A string muted) and play one fret lower on the high E string for
each chord, emphasizing the higher three strings.
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                       Em                    C
And I drove all the way home listening to the Gaslight Anthem. 
G                                            Em                      C                      G
And thinking how I can't stop letting people down, I'm surely not as cool as I was back in school. 
G                        Em              C
I'm on the 101 falling asleep, I got the letters that you wrote for me.
G                                Em                   C
Now here I am under golden arches, car in park, teary eyed, Mcgriddle in hand.

G C Em D x2
 
[Verse 2]
 
            G                      Em                           C
My mind's a slow device, I like to picture life somewhat like a Rockwell painting,
G                                       Em     C
but great expectations just blister the paint. 
G                                             Em                   C
And I just wanna drink chocolate milk with my lovely, I just wanna burn this apartment. 
G                                             Em                    C
And I just wanna float through my life merely dreaming at any given mention of the government.

[Bridge]
 
     C            D                G           Gmaj7   G7      G6    C            D             G
So I drive, heavy eyed, repeating "tramps like us were born to run", but I've got no one to run with. 
        C                  D                  G         Gmaj7    G7       G6
And I'm cold, so I've been told that I should greet the sun and get shit done.
C           D                 G
I think I'd rather just sleep in. 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                                Em           C
Cause we're all just twenty five words in the obituary section. 
G                                   Em                 C
And everyday is just the passing of time, I think they call this depression. 
G              Em          C             G
I'm not lonely, just kinda overwhelmed again. 
G                                             Em       C       G
Cause I'm living proof you can still sing the blues in 2011.
