Intro: Am G Am G Csus4
Pigeon John
Am
I spent six months on the road
Watching the trees through the window
G
Singin my songs to packed-in shows
Girls fill the whole front row
Am G Csus4
But it don't mean a thing... hmm-mmm-mm
Am
The scene's insane on the low
Bathroom stalls packed full of snow
G
Anything you want is yours on the go
Suicide Girls at the do'
Am G Csus4 Am
But it don't mean a thing... if you're not here
G
..If you're not here
Am G Csus4
But it don't mean a thing... hmm-mmm-mm
Am
I'm in a brand new Cadillac
The engine purrs, the paint spills black
G
Rollin with homies who don't know how to act
and we all got our seats pushed back
Am G Csus4 C
But, it don't mean a thing... if you're not here!
Dm
This ain't another love song
Am
I'm tryna figure out what's right or wrong
C
Before we're gone (before we're gone) oh-oh
Dm
Let's stand outside of all regret
Am
and share another cigarette
Before we're gone... oh-oh
Pigeon John
Am
Uh, it seems the party never end
Hundred dollar tab bills, so-called friends
G
They promise and smile and laugh and pretend
that they all wanna share this syringe
Am G Csus4
But, it don't mean a thing... hmm-mmm-mm
Am
I sing this song from inside
Behind the walls, behind all the pride
G
For fear that I'll never realize
that you are the prize
Am G Csus4 C
And it don't mean a thing... if you're not here!
Dm
Hey, this ain't another love song
Am
I'm tryna figure out what's right or wrong
C
Before we're gone (before we're gone) oh-oh
Dm
(Hey) let's stand outside of all regret
Am
and share another cigarette
C
Before we're gone... oh-oh
Dm
You go ahead and reapply your Chap-stick
Am
Me? I'm gonna take my last sip
C
Before we're gone... oh-oh
Dm
You run ahead and call shotgun
Am
I don't, and then you smile and say I'm not fun
Before we're gone, before we're gone
