Verse
E5
Pulled over at midday
A5
The joker’s still wet behind the ears
E5
He hands off a novel of novice citations
A5
Outside the service station
The glue sets beneath our heels
G#5 A5
My baby’s in Massachusetts
E5
And all this booze is useless
D#5 C#5
Sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep
G#5 A5
And the cashier here is ruthless
E5
Jeanette, I wrote your name down
D#5 C#5
But I’d hate that job as much as you do
B5 G#5 A5
If I was stuck between Barton and Binghamton too
Verse
E5
Days like this I miss listening to records
A5
Making coffee together, snow globes and jersey sheets
E5
I tried sleeping in our bed without you last night
A5
But that didn’t work at all because I couldn’t sleep
Bridge
G#5
Sometimes I wish it was still last summer
A5
And you still lived in South Philly
E5 D#5
And I wasn’t playing a show in Nebraska
C#
Or Austin, Texas
B5 A5
Asking the kids what they ate for breakfast
G#5 A5
But here I am, Valero bathroom
E5
Who’s paid to keep these things cliché?
D#5 B5
Bury me beneath New York State
A5
Because it’s the only place where I feel dead
Outro Chorus
G#5 A5
My baby’s in Massachusetts
E5
And all this booze is useless
D#5 C#5
Sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep
G#5 A5
And the cashier here is ruthless
E5
Jeanette, I wrote your name down
D#5 C#5
But I’d hate that job as much as you do
B5 G#5 A5
If I was stuck between Barton and Binghamton too
E5
