Intro
G Bm x 2
[Verse]
G
I had a sugar-coated childhood

The stars were in my soul
G
But given the opportunity
Bm
I’d start over and change it all
G
Beatlemania made my mother
Bm
Think the way she does
G
She always said
Bm G
"Don’t waste your life wishing everything was how it was"
Bm G Bm
Paul is alive
G Bm
I was in a moment for a moment
Then I wasn’t
G
I was sixteen years old in a dead guy’s boots
Bm
With my hair slicked to the side
G
Sitting outside the Jockey Club
Bm
Crying in my 7-up
G
I could hear Husker Du and The Smiths
Bm G
The Sluggos, The Cramps go bup bup bup bup inside
Bm G Bm
Paul is alive
[Chorus 1]

Nobody stays above

Nobody stays above

Out in the waves of love
A
Inside the Jockey Club
B
I’m even
[Verse]

Nobody makes you beg to be different

And there’s Foster's on the floor

If I go

Will I find

There’s a waiting line?
Em Bm
Maybe I should take my time
A E
‘Cause I never heard of anybody coming back
[Chorus 2]
G Bm
Nobody stays above
G Bm
Out in the waves of love
G Bm
Nobody stays above
G
Out in the waves of love

Inside the Jockey Club

I’m even with heaven
