Rotting Strip Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GBlurry Ceyes half bent and GI can’t take you Dsober

GTricking off the rCotting strip that Gwe’ve been

 trudging Dunder

EmWe ducked into a Cdim lit room out wGhere the river bDends

GAnd turned to walk the Cburning bridge that Gwe would build

 And cDrossed our hearts half hoCping

 That Gwe could bDoth quit smCoking

 And kGick the Dbooze and bClow

 And oGne day Dgo make sComething of oursDelves

GGlory cCame and went the niGght we both slippDed under

G‘Neath Cthe row of oil slicGks and ancient ugDly lovers

EmSome they say theC price you pay is Gfar too much to Dspend

GBut they don’t know the cCost is fair if for aG while

 It keDeps your heart from crumbCling

 And we’d Gtake what we want when we kCnew what we wanted

 When we wDished we had something to lGose

 You were aC fine young Gthing crammed in your Ctight red vinyl

 jGeans

 I was a tChird rate goEming nowhere bCurning for nothing tDo do

GBoredomC settled in and I cGan’t take you sobDer

GStrewn across the Crotting strip thatG we’ve been building

Dover

Em‘Til nothing madeC its wicked way slGow creeping intoD view

GWhere we could watch thCe burning bridge thaGt we half built

DAcross our hearts now bCroken

 And wGe could boDth quit smoCking

 And kGick the boDoze and bloCw

 And oGne day gDo make somCething of oursDelves

 And we’d Gtake what we want when we kCnew what we wanted

 When we wDished we had something to lGose

 You were a Cfine young tGhing crammed in your tCight red vinyl jeans

 I was a tChird rate goEming nowhere bCurning for nothing to Ddo

 So we braGnded our hearts and we toasCted the stars

 Getting wDasted by the light of the mGoon

 you were a Ctwo bit tramGp - I was a low life lCying sGcum

 We were a Cbad lay coming uEmndone burningC for someone to Duse
