[INTRO]
B E G#m F# E .
[VERSE ONE]
B E We've come a long way since those drunk days on backroads
E G#m You and your high hopes always stayed down
G#m F# E You always saw the best in me, high in Yosemite, we hide
B E Now I'm driving through Reno, those goddamn casinos
E You always kept God close
G#m F# Except that time you bet it all on black,
E came back to the room with twenty grand
[CHORUS]
G#m F# And you were smiling like a thief with your cheek tearing teeth
B E You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
G#m F# They're using my muses to make fun of me
B E And you're face up while your blood sucks from an IV
[VERSE TWO]
B E We spent it all on gasoline, PCH to Cannon Beach
E G#m Laid in the sand and, man, I have never seen
F# E Something more beautiful than you and your cannonball
B E And we've come a long way since that shit band at the Blue List
E G#m You said anything other than another
F# E fucking cover of "Only The Good Die Young"
[CHORUS]
G#m F# You were smiling like a thief with your cheek tearing teeth
B E You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
G#m F# They covered all the songs that are best kept alone
B E 'Cause your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
G#m F# And they're using my muses to make fun of me
B E And you're face up as your blood sucks from an IV
[VERSE THREE]
B And I never thought it'd be you
E I always thought I'd beat you to the Golden Gates
E G#m F# Won't you wait a few hours there by the door?
F# E We've all been here before
B E But you stood up on your own, your mom called my telephone
E G#m Said you've been standing and rambling about gambling
G#m F# E s And howling out in the night high in Yosemite
[CHORUS]
G#m F# And you were smiling like a thief with your cheek tearing teeth
B E You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
G#m F# They sold off the town we used to call home
B E And your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
