[Verse 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Db Gb Ab
To a world we'll not remember
Db Gb
When we're old and tired
Db Gb Ab
We'll be blowing on the ambers
Db Gb
Of a little fire
Db Gb Ab
We were the tallest person watching
Db Gb
In Chesapeake
Db Gb Ab
You put me on the shoulders
Db Gb
So I could see
[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Ebm Ab
I was all covered in sound
Db Gb
Ear plugs so it wasn't loud
Ebm Ab
Swallowed up by the crowd
Db Gb
Didn't know what they were singing about
Db Gb
I can't hardly wait
Db Gb
For someone to replace

In a parking lot

Ebm Ab
Even though there's no one around
Db Gb
He broke a leg and the house came down
Ebm Ab
A smattering of applause
Db Gb
A sliver moon and a cover song
[Bridge: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

Oh sweet child of mine

Oh sweet child of mine
Db Bbm
Now you stand on the corner and hope you get recognized
[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

When you asked me to turn it down
Ebm Ab
Didn't even think it was loud
Db Gb
Can you hear it now?
