Verse 1:

E He shaved his head at the airport B In a bar at the end of the concourse A He said 'You're kind of catching me at a transitional time B C#m B I'm a bright light burning into a dark horse.' E She said 'I'll strap on the saddle B And I'm sorry but this city's a cesspool A I've kissed and I've cackled with half of these jackals A Still couldn't get any jet fuel.'
C#m B E F#m G#m B A Walked her out to the taxis, took her out to some parties C#m B E F#m G#m B A Found a man with a handful huddled over some car keys C#m B E F#m G#m B A It doesn't have to be pure, it doesn't have to be perfect D F#m A E Just sort of has to be worth it

Verse 2:

E A A Residence Inn at the top of the exit B C#m B You pay the admission and here's what you get E The stench of death in the credits E The montage set to the Time of Your Life A A shot in the dark in a bar that's too bright A A window sucking up all the available light, right?
C#m B E F#m G#m B A And a clock on the bed stand with a cord to connect it C#m B E F#m G#m B A Liberty and Justice into Master of Puppets C#m B E F#m G#m B A Rolling off of the mattress, waking up on the carpet D F#m A E It shouldn't have to be perfect

Bridge:

Bm F#m A E G#m He said he can't read the paper, it's not worth the trouble C#m Finds out about funerals from the blasts of the bugles A Wherever he goes he always orders the usual, he likes to see what they'll bring him E In five hours on the carpet E He visits six different planets A On a spaceship shaped like a Gibson Marauder A The pilot kinda looked like Kirk Hammet
t
C#m B E F#m G#m B A While he was floating in space that chick took his wallet C#m B E F#m G#m B A Wasn't really a date, wasn't sure what to call it C#m B E F#m G#m B A That same stupid feeling but he likes his new haircut F#m G#m A It doesn;t have to be pure F#m G#m A It doesn't have to be perfect F#m G#m A E Just sort of has to be worth it
