[Intro]
C C/B Am G F Gsus(add9)
 
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am GMe and Judas down on 6th and Lowry
F Gsus(add9)
Outside a cafe when the moonlight fell
C C/B Am GIt cast itself down, pouring out on the city, what a pity
F Gwhen something so beautiful wastes itself
 
C C/B Am G F Gsus(add9)
 
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am GI took a pull from my wood pipe as the taxicabs drove by,
F Gsus(add9)
full of college age women in drag
C C/B Am GYeah they're all wearing costumes and they all look like children
F Gsus(add9)
And they're blowing us kisses as they pass
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F GI wondered what in the hell in this world could compel
C Fsus2 GAny creature to smile on a pair like we were
 
[Chorus]
F GHe had short, neat curls that were shadow black
C C/B Am GAnd I was fumbling around with the weather app
F GWondering if he could ever love me back
Am Fsus2 Gsus(add9)Sometimes these things are hit or miss
F GWith the perfume trail lingering behind
C C/B Am GI caught an urge and the nerve to take his hand in mine
F GAnd if it didn't rain at the perfect time,
Am G/B Fsus2It's probable we wouldn't have kissed
G F C C/B Am G F Gsus(add9)In the NorthEast Minneapolis Arts District
 
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am GHe whispered, I'm not the kind to lie about leaving
F Gsus(add9)
With me clinging so tight to his chest.
C C/B Am GIn a notebook on the rough-hewn walnut stand by his mattress
F Gsus(add9)
I had drawn ultimatums in a cursive mess.
 
[Verse 4]
C C/B Am GAnd then I never told anyone, kept it quiet
F Gsus(add9)
Inspired by the urgency of the love we shared
C C/B Am GSome of our friends say I'm still alive in it
F Gsus(add9)
And others don't believe I was ever really anywhere
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F GI gave my body and blood for the power of love
C Fsus2And hoped that I would conquer sin
C GBut I never even rose again
 
[Chorus]
F GHe had short, neat curls that were shadow black
C C/B Am GAnd I was fumbling around with the weather app
F GWondering if he could ever love me back
Am Fsus2 Gsus(add9)Sometimes these things are hit or miss
F GWith the perfume trail lingering behind
C C/B Am GI caught an urge and the nerve to take his hand in mine
F GAnd if it didn't rain at the perfect time,
Am G/B Fsus2It's probable we wouldn't have kissed
G F C C/B Am G F Gsus(add9)In the NorthEast Minneapolis Arts District
 
[Bridge]
Am G Fsus2Then in the light of a wasteful moon, so familiar
C GYou sold me out for some pieces of silver
C C/B Fsus2But still I loved the feel of your lips
C C/B Fsus2And i never wanted more than this:
C GTo kiss you in public,
Fsus2 G C C/B Am GTo openly say that I loved it
 
[Outro]
Fsus2 G C C/B Am GOh I write this down for Judas
Fsus2 G C C/B Am G Fsus2 G COh I love these words for Judas
