Verse 1
B C We've come a long way since those drunk days on backroads
CmYou and your high hopes always stayed down
B CYou always saw the best in me, high in Yosemite, we hide
B C Now I'm driving through Reno, those ******* casinos
You always kept God close
Cm B CExcept that time you bet it all on black, came back to the room with twenty grand
Chorus
Cm BAnd you were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth
B CYou was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
Cm BThey're using my muses to make fun of me
B Gm CAnd your face up while your blood sucks from an IV
Verse 2
B C We spent it all on gasoline, PCH to Cannon Beach
CmLaid in the sand and, man, I have never seen
B CSomething more beautiful than you and your cannonball
B C And we've come a long way since that **** banned at the Blue List
Cm B CYou said anything other than another ******* cover of "Only The Good Die Young"
Chorus
Cm BYou were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth
B CYou was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
Cm BThey covered all the songs that are best kept alone
B C'Cause your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
Cm BAnd they're using my muses to make fun of me
B CAnd your face up as your blood sucks from an IV
Verse 3
B And I never thought it'd be you
CI always thought I'd beat you to the Golden Gates
Cm B CWon't you wait a few hours there by the door? We've all been here before
B C But you stood up on your own, your mom called my telephone
CmSaid you've been standing and rambling about gambling
B CAnd howling out in the night high in Yosemite
Chorus
Cm BAnd you were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth
B CYou was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
Cm BThey sold off the town we used to call home
B C Cm B CAnd your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone. .
