Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22
Intro: G (4x)
G Em D C
D
G Em
Staring out the window in somebody’s pick up truck,
D C
Well I never mind the boredom cause I use I for a crutch,
G Em
Just to get me to that plane it’s a different state of sane,
D C
And every time I try to change I always end out quite the same,
G Em D C
Thinking back to happier days everyone was ignorant and all the kids behaved,
G Em
But me, my friends, and the ice cream man,
D
That was our existence,
C
That was our clan,
D
This one goes out to the friends I never had!
G Bm D C
Hey I don't understand (but I'd like to anyway)
G Bm D C
Hey I don't understand (but I like it anyway)
G Bm D C
Hey I don't understand (but I like you anyway)
D...
G Em
Shelter in the city we decided to go in,
D C
And I gave a man some money to buy us heroin,
G Em
The homeless man returned and he gave me back a dime, he said,
D C
"Put it in your sock my friend and save it for another time,"
G Em
Lessons are learned and later unlearned,
D
And if he knew what he knows now,
C
Well he could rule the world,
G
But I'm not one to judge,
Em
What happened yesterday,
D C
Cause I got me, I got myself, my future is at stake.
D
This one goes out to the friends I never had!
