[Verse 1]

A                          BmFrom the corner of 3rd and Washington
Dsus2                    Aadd4You can't see where your brother went
    BmOut somewhere past the beat cops
    Dsus2                            Aadd4And beautiful women who work for the government
          A         EThey walk by in air-conditioned tunnels
         BThat are archived above the street
        DWhile I sweat in my hot coffee
    EAnd daydream about how we might meet


A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2


[Verse 2]

     A                  BmYour mother asked for a picture
    Dsus2              Aadd4She says "today's your birthday"
        BmIn some strung out western stutter
       Dsus2             Aadd4Making all the world her ashtray
    A           EShe adjusts her aviators
        BWith an absent shaking hand
          Dsus2Tilts the camera forward forty-five degrees
    EAnd calls out modeling commands


A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2


[Verse 3]

        A             BmWhen we used to go to parties
            Dsus2              Aadd4You'd spend an hour before the mirror
        BmAnd I'd drink your gin
                   Dsus2       Aadd4And ask about your high school souvenirs
       A           ETacked on the wall above the bed
   BAn old Inkjet collage
             Dsus2But you were never much for talking
      ESo I knelt to your mirage


A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2


[Verse 4]

     A                      BmWe'd walk the three blocks westbound
       Dsus2          Aadd4In the moonlit Philly fall
      BmAnd the party would be grand
          Dsus2                 Aadd4All our friends would grin with pride
A                       EAll our friends would be so drunk
               BAnd have such pleasant things to say
        Dsus2And at last, we'd see each other
        EIn the way that we had dreamed to be seen


A Bm Dsus2 Aadd4 x2


[Verse 5]

      A                       BmThose nights your house kept secret
      Dsus2         Aadd4We'd stumble up the stairs
    BmMy hands tore through your records
            Dsus2              Aadd4While your hands unpinned your hair
    A                EThe both of us still green enough
                BTo remove the other's clothes
   Dsus2A quiet signal of devotion
          EThat I am happy to have known
