Intro
A# Dm x 2
[Verse]
A#
I had a sugar-coated childhood
Dm
The stars were in my soul
A#
But given the opportunity
Dm
I’d start over and change it all
A#
Beatlemania made my mother
Dm
Think the way she does
A#
She always said
Dm A#
"Don’t waste your life wishing everything was how it was"
Dm A# Dm
Paul is alive
A# Dm
I was in a moment for a moment
Then I wasn’t
A#
I was sixteen years old in a dead guy’s boots
Dm
With my hair slicked to the side
A#
Sitting outside the Jockey Club
Dm
Crying in my 7-up
A#
I could hear Husker Du and The Smiths
Dm A#
The Sluggos, The Cramps go bup bup bup bup inside
Dm A# Dm
Paul is alive
[Chorus 1]
A# Dm
Nobody stays above
A# Dm
Out in the waves of love
A# Dm
Nobody stays above
A#
Out in the waves of love
C
Inside the Jockey Club
D
I’m even
[Verse]
Dm C6
I’ve never been this far up the river
C G
And I don’t want to go
Dm C6
Nobody makes you beg to be different
C G
And there’s Foster's on the floor
[Solo]
Dm C6 C G x 2
[Bridge]
Dm C6
If I go
C
Will I find
G
There’s a waiting line?
Gm Dm
Maybe I should take my time
C G
‘Cause I never heard of anybody coming back
[Chorus 2]
A# Dm
Nobody stays above
A# Dm
Out in the waves of love
A# Dm
Nobody stays above
A#
Out in the waves of love
C
Inside the Jockey Club
D
I’m even with heaven
[Outro]
Dm C6
I’ve never been this far up the river
C G
And I don’t want to go
Dm C6
Nobody makes you beg to be different
C G
And there’s F#moster's on the floor
