Verse 1: (continue intro chords w/cello riff- Neko)
The [F]skirts go up, b[Am]efore the wall[Bb] among the [C]madding crowds,
They[F] ruin, Like the rest of[Am] ruin, the rest of us [Dm]ruin[C]

You've got those [F]old, eternity[Am] blues, eternity [Dm]blues[C]
Your fi[F]ngers raised, you're looking fo[Am]r the word,[Bb] what you want is [C]accident
And not the [F]drag, spectacular [Am]view, what you can [Dm]lose[C]
Chorus 2:
T[Bb]raffic will slow for the cr[F]ash years[C]
T[Bb]here's no other show like it '[F]round here[C], as a [Dm]ruuuule[C]
