Biography:
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

[Intro]
Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G C
Döner wrapper done right, and extinguished
G C
Crotch of a rollie inside yellow fingers
G C G C
Nothing lasts but nearly everything lingers in life
G C
Cellphone service is not that expensive
G C
But that takes commitment and you just don't have it
G C
It feels so effortless to be a stranger
G C
But feeling foreign is such a lonely habit
[Bridge 1]
Em Am
You can't crop yourself out of a picture
Em C
You're out of focus but still framed inside
[Chorus 1]
G
Well Berlin got blurry
D Am
And my heart started hurting for you
Em G Em
[Verse 2]
G C
Loud mouth living got you some attention
G C
And second chances given without doubt
G C G C
'Guess you've got a history but it's not worth a mention tonight
G C
Kind ears captive to the beers you've purchased
G C
Sipping through scenes of plastered confession
G C
Telling pretty stories, is it your sole purpose?
G C
Telling everybody that you learned your lesson
[Bridge 2]
Em Am
But no one's falling for that nice guy bullshit
Em C
They waited years, you can wait one night
[Chorus 2]
G
Well Berlin got blurry
D Am
When my eyes started telling it to
[Instrumental]
Em G (x3)
Em Am (x2)
Em Am C
[Verse 3]
G C
Funny how it charms you, that Teutonic frankness
G C
Listen and it arms you with a new type of patience
G C G C
Maybe it alarms you because it tastes so familiar and wild
G C
French fries, hot dog, ketchup, main ingredients
G C
Swears in flawless English it's the best in town
G C
Funny how a sameness can not be distinguished
G C
Strangeness is relieving when you point it out
[Bridge 3]
Em Am
But email poems slogans an example
Em C
Of three things I can't unify
[Chorus 3]
G
Well Berlin got blurry
D Am
As my thoughts all hurried to you
[Outro]
