G  D                        Bm   A
.....Revelations in a hotel bathroom,
                               G
Rebecca's dancing in the rain.
D
Chatter over leaky faucets.
Bm   A
One mirror, two bodies
G     D
Talk fast into the bottle.
Bm   A
Come in, and let your blonde hair down.
G    D                        Bm
Tell me about a lifeless body,
      A
some promise in numbers

[Verse]

G           D
....Driving 80 through a country road mall.
G             D
....I wasn't smoking because you hate the smell of cigarettes.
            Bm             A                G
Turned the drunk bus into new trust with me.
    D                                       G
We were dancing in the basement of this bar.
         D
We made our mark for freedom.
        Bm               A
Then I taught you indie dance moves.

[Pre-Chorus]

         G
Then we lost track of time counting stars in our eyes
        G
and we both realized we were inspirational

[Chorus]

D                     A        G
We were walking down dead end streets
          D                           A        G
like the salt on your teeth from that foreign sea.
D           A  G
Gorged with promise.
D            A    G    F#m  G
Smoke-filled champion

[Verse]

G            D
....It's Saturday shouldn't you be up at the bar,
G           D
cautiously dancing to your favorite David Bowie song.
    Bm           A
The future, the loser, and me
G        D
If I had my way then we would climb up on my car,
G        D
pass you a note that says come with me to Brooklyn.
     Bm          A
The future, the loser.

[Pre-Chorus]

         G
Then we lost track of time counting stars in our eyes
        G
and we both realized we were inspirational

[Chorus]

D                     A        G
We were walking down dead end streets
          D                           A        G
like the salt on your teeth from that foreign sea.
D           A  G
Gorged with promise.
D            A    G
Smoke-filled champion
F#m          G
Gorged with promise.
F#m          G
Smoke-filled champion

[Spoken word]

D                                     A
Considering that I cannot think of a word
                  G           D
that intertwines gold and democracy
                A                G
I will end my weeks on notes of good exposure
D                 A              G
Maybe I’ll sink, maybe I’ll swim.
     D                                         A   G
I’ll bet I spend the majority of them floating.

[Bridge]

.....Will you feel the same
Bm A
.....when my hair gets longer?
G  D
.....And will you feel the same
Bm A
.....when your eyes see sober?
G  D
.....Will you feel the same

.....And will you feel the same
