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