Em7  A7  C            G             Em7 A7        C      G 
It   was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,  
      Em7          A7              C           G        Em7        A7       C    G 
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.  
 
(base comes in , same chord sequence) 
Em7      A7            C        G 
   And I knew I'd made horrible call,  
   Em7          A7                   C      G 
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,  
          Em7    A7                C          G 
And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm.....

C         G                   D         -| 
Cause you can't find nothing at all,     | 
If there was nothing there all along.    |-- Chorus 
No you can't find nothing at all,        | 
If there was nothing there all along.   -| 
 
Bass fill..... 
 
Em7      A7       C          G 
       I braved treacherous streets,  
And kids strung out on homemade speed.  
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,  
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.  
 
Em7      A7        C        G 
Cause at night the sun in retreat,  
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,  
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.  
 
(same as other Pre-Chorus, but 2-2 instead of 3-4 on second part) 
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,  
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.  
 
Chorus 
 
(padding) 
A7            B7 
I'm a war, of head versus heart,  
          Em7        A7 
And it's always this way.  
   A7               B7 
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,  
Em7                       C     G    D 
Before I know what it will say.  
 
Chorus
