Biography:
The Replacements are an alternative rock group that formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1979. The band originally started off as a hardcore punk outfit but began to incorporate folk and power pop influences in their sound. They become one of the leaders of the early alt-folk set and one of the flagship bands of the American 80s post-punk scene, being as well a major influence on 90s indie rock.
The band's best known lineup consisted of Paul Westerberg (vocals, guitar), Bob Stinson (guitar), Tommy Stinson (bass) and Chris Mars (drums).

[Verse 1]
A
Shared a cigarette for breakfast
D
Shared an airplane ride for lunch
A
Sitting in between a ghost
F#m D
And a walking bowl of punch
A D F#sus2
And you play a little hunch
A
Predicting a delay on landing
D
Well, I predict we'll have a drink
A
Lost my money on the first hand
F#m D
Got burned on a big fat king
A
And your ears just want to ring
Bm
And your eyes just want to close
A
Nothing changing I suppose
[Chorus]
D A
It's too late to turn back here we go
D A
Portland
D A
It's too late to turn back here we go
D A Bm
Portland
[Verse 2]
A
Mmm lay away raindrops
D
Look out before you catch cold
A
Serving boy can chain nothing
F#m D
That ain't anchored to his throne
A D F#sus2
But at least he's going home
A
Sleeping like a back woods junkie
D
Caught down in a southern trust
A
Hey look at the funny monkey
F#m D
Putting silver in his cup
A
And your silver turns to rust
Bm
In your second hand clothes
A
Trust no one I suppose
[Chorus]
D A
It's too late to turn back here we go
D A
Portland

It's too late to turn back here we go

Portland
[Verse 3]
A
Shared a cigarette for breakfast
D
Shared a pack of lies for lunch
A
Credit card almighty
F#m D
Bring in the next little bunch
A
And you owe me on a hunch
Bm
And your eyes just want to close
A
There's nothing changing I suppose
[Chorus]
D A
It's too late to turn back here we go
D A
Portland
D A
It's too late to turn back here we go
D A
Portland
D A
It's too late to, it’s too late, I know
D A
Ooh Portland, ooh Portland,
A
Portland, we're sorry.
