Intro
A C#m x 2
[Verse]
A
I had a sugar-coated childhood
C#m
The stars were in my soul
A
But given the opportunity
C#m
I’d start over and change it all
A
Beatlemania made my mother
C#m
Think the way she does
A
She always said
C#m A
"Don’t waste your life wishing everything was how it was"
C#m A C#m
Paul is alive
A C#m
I was in a moment for a moment
Then I wasn’t
A
I was sixteen years old in a dead guy’s boots
C#m
With my hair slicked to the side
A
Sitting outside the Jockey Club
C#m
Crying in my 7-up
A
I could hear Husker Du and The Smiths
C#m A
The Sluggos, The Cramps go bup bup bup bup inside
C#m A C#m
Paul is alive
[Chorus 1]
A C#m
Nobody stays above
A C#m
Out in the waves of love
A C#m
Nobody stays above
A
Out in the waves of love
B
Inside the Jockey Club
C#
I’m even
[Verse]
C#m B6
I’ve never been this far up the river
B F#
And I don’t want to go
C#m B6
Nobody makes you beg to be different
B F#
And there’s Foster's on the floor
[Solo]
C#m B6 B F# x 2
[Bridge]
C#m B6
If I go
B
Will I find
F#
There’s a waiting line?
F#m C#m
Maybe I should take my time
B F#
‘Cause I never heard of anybody coming back
[Chorus 2]
A C#m
Nobody stays above
A C#m
Out in the waves of love
A C#m
Nobody stays above
A
Out in the waves of love
B
Inside the Jockey Club
C#
I’m even with heaven
[Outro]
C#m B6
I’ve never been this far up the river
B F#
And I don’t want to go
C#m B6
Nobody makes you beg to be different
B F#
And there’s F#moster's on the floor
