NOBODY EVER MAKES IT LAST ANYMORE
THEYRE ALWAYS LOOKIN FOR THE EASY WAY OUT
THESE DAYS LOVE IS A REVOLVIN DOOR
CAST ASIDE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF DOUBT

CHORUS:
NOW I NEVER THOUGHT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO US
I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHIN TO TRUST
YOU KNOW IT LOOKED LIKE WE HAD NOTHIN TO LOSE
I THOUGHT YOU AND ME WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BULLETPROOF

YOU WERE MY ANCHOR AND I WAS YOUR ROCK
I NEEDED ANSWERS AND YOU HELD THE KEY
I MADE YOU LISTEN AND YOU MADE ME TALK
YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERED TO ME

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO: Em C X 2

YOU WERE THE BEST THING THAT I EVER FOUND
THEY ALL SAID WE MADE A PRETTY GOOD TEAM
ID SET EM UP AND THEN YOUD KNOCK THEM DOWN
ONE DAY IT ALL JUST CAME APART AT THE SEAM

REPEAT CHORUS

I THOUGHT YOU AND ME WERE SUPPOSED TO BE
YEAH YOU AND ME WERE SUPPOSED TO BE
I THOUGHT YOU AND ME WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BULLETPROOF

Intro: D

How was California?
Did they teach you how to surf?
Was it everything they said it was?
Was it all that you deserved?

(Chorus)
Did you hate the Golden state?
Was it hollow just like you?
Just like every place you go
Californias got the blues

How was Austin, Texas?

Did they greet you with a smile?

Did you ride the pretty horses?

Did you feel like you could stay awhile?

(Chorus)
Did you hate the Lone Star state?

Was it lonely just like you?

Just like every place you go

Austin, Texas has the blues

Instrumental

How was New York City?

Did you take a stroll in Central Park?

Was there always something going on?

Did you feel safe after dark?

(Chorus)
Did you hate the Empire state?

Was it miserable like you?

Just like every place you go

New York Citys got the blues

End on D

(Intro)

They we say we’ve got to leave but there’s no way to go
This ain’t the first time we’ve weathered out a storm
And I ain’t got nothing but at least I know it’s mine
And I’ll be god damned if I’m leaving here before the day I die

(Chorus)
So let the rain sting my neck
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground

The voices on the radio were cracking off and on

The court is underwater and the levees all but gone

There’s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky

It’s too late now to run I’d never make it out alive

(Chorus)

Everyone sit tight help is on the way

I don’t think Jr. is going to last another day

We got a sawed off and a red hot .44

So all you looters best come heavy when you’re knocking on my door

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
We all know this crescent city just won't be the same again C G
And I’ll still be standin’ when the saints go marching in

(Instrumental ‘ Play chords from chorus)

X’s on the windows say there’s no one left inside

If you count the painted numbers you’ll know just how many died

And I’m one in half a million so at least I’m not alone

The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on

(Chorus)
So let the rain sting my neck
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground

Intro: DAG (Same little riff DDDAGG)

So your baby’s got the whole town talking
and they say you better open your eyes
And you act as if you never saw it coming
even though you got some good advice
And you’ve never been an angel yourself
but now you’re gonna know how it feels

So quit your cryin’ like your sad life’s over
you were never really head over heels

But you wouldn’t know love if you lost it
Even though you regret the goodbye
But you let your heart lead you blind in to love
When you trusted a wandering eye

Poor little baby got your heart half broken
and now it’s time to overreact
Making a scene like you’re filming a western
and the dialogue is action packed
It’s probably better that you got it all out
and now it’s high time to move on
Cause you knew deep inside when you looked in those eyes
there was really always something wrong

But you wouldn’t know love if you lost it
Even though you regret the goodbye
But you let your heart lead you blind in to love
When you trusted a wandering eye

You’re like the field mouse standing by the river
staring at the other side
Up swam your baby like an old alligator
said hop on kid I’ll give you a ride
And even though you heard a whole lot of promises
you never saw the other shore
Hey but only a fool would have believed the alligator
and you knew it when you climbed on board

But you wouldn’t know love if you lost it
Even though you regret the goodbye
But you let your heart lead you blind in to love
When you trusted a wandering eye

You had stone cold love and you lost it
Even though you regret the goodbye
But you let your heart lead you blind in to love
When you trusted a wandering eye
