Intro:  E E4 E E9 

E                 E/D# 
This whiskey sour, amateur hour 
A 
Raise your glass and toast your friends 
Am 
Someday we will fight again 

E            G#m 
Your enemies, your tragedies 
A 
Pocket knives and rusty chains 
B 
Where the hell is the old gang at? 

F#m         G#m           A            B 
And all the losers, can't even win for losing 
F#m       G#m                 A                     B 
And the beginners don't even know what song they're singing 

              E            B 
When there's no one left around 
                E            B 
And you're the last gang in town 
          C#m              G#m 
And your heart can't even break 
         A            B 
When it doesn't even pound 

E                E/D# 
This broken scene is turning green 
A 
A brass knuckles left in the rain 
Am 
Death wish kids among the living 

E           G#m 
I wanna ride on the divided 
A 
Anything but the mainstream 
B 
Where the fuck is your old gang man? 

F#m         G#m           A            B 
And all the losers, can't even win for losing 
F#m       G#m                 A                     B 
And the beginners don't even know what song they're singing 

              E            B 
When there's no one left around 
                E            B 
And you're the last gang in town 
          C#m              G#m 
And your heart can't even break 
         A            B 
When it doesn't even pound 

        A 
So long 
                     E  E4  E 
Didn't even say goodnight 
        A 
So long 
                                   B 
There's no where to go when you're hiding in plain sight
