Only Children

Intro
Em9 Gmaj7 C Em9 (x2)

Verse 1
Em9
  Walking around at night,
Gmaj7
  Fighting my appetite
C                                Em9
  Every kid in cutoffs could be you.

  Remember when we used to meet,
Gmaj7
  The bottom of Mobile Street,
C                            Em9
  Do what the broken people do.

Chorus 1
G                       D
  Are you still taking notes?
           Em
The Holy Ghost could get inside you
           C
And do whatever he put your mind to.
G                             D
  Will you read me what you wrote
         Em
We were locked outside the building
         C
Over-encouraged only children

Verse 2
Em9
  Cold coffee on the fire escape
Gmaj7
  Bet it all on a demo tape
C                                        Em9
  But you still had something left to steal.

  Remember when we took too much
Gmaj7
  Get a little of the human touch
C                            Em9
  Hand to mouth and reel to reel.

Chorus 2
G                       D
  Are you still taking notes?
      Em
Hydrocodone in your backpack
             C
Maybe these words will hold the beast back.
G                             D
  Will you read me what you wrote?
           Em
The one I said you stole from Dylan
         C
Over-encouraged only children.

Interlude 1
Em9 Gmaj7 C Em9 (x2)

Bridge
C             Bm           Am
  "Heaven's wasted on the dead.”

That's what your Mama said
C                     Bm            Am
  And the hearse was idling in the parking lot.
C                Bm                 Am
  She said you thought the world to me

And you were glad to see it
C              Bm          D
  You finally let me be an astronaut.

Interlude 2
G D C (x2)

Chorus 3
G                       D
  Are you still taking notes?
            Em
Do you have anyone to talk to
        C
Castle walls that you would walk through.
G                              D
  And do the dead believe in ghosts?
            Em
Or are you lost in some old building
              C
With over-encouraged only children.
