LYRICS:
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
To a shuffling beat
It's a colourful crowd
Spray can information
Cover the lonely station
Checkpoint for the state of the nation
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
Dm Am FC
On the missionbeat beat
Dm Am FC
The radio drug
Dm Am F C
Wayward destinations
Dm Am F C
Secondhand sensations
CHORUS:
Dm
Take this heart
Dm Am F
Break this heart
C
Wrap it up
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
In the back of the cell
The plug and the cord
Shoulder dislocation
Bruised in isolation
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Am EmGAAm FDm
Sleep, sleep
Am EmGAAm FDDm
Sleep, sleep
DAFCDAFC
In the eye of the storm
Writing on walls
Cross my heart confusion
We're all looking for a new solution
Dm Am FC
It's the heat of the land
Dm Am FC
Swallowing sweat
Dm Am F C
Say those dreams can shake me
Dm Am F C
Dawn come down and save me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
So you got the blues
The evening wore out your shoes
So, so you got the blues
End.
