Girl On 37th Street

[Intro ] G C [Verso 1] G C Cuffed Levis and a Walkman on pause Em D Hiding in the shadow of a better mans cause G C My best friends laughing in your inner ring Em D While Im just a ghost, not saying a thing G C The neon sign of the White Spot glows Em D Smell of steak and fries where the late crowd goes G C Youre two blocks over on 37th Street Em D And Im paralyzed by the rhythm of my own heartbeat. [Refrão] C G Oh, the static of the eighties was a heavy sound Em D I was looking at my sneakers while you owned the town C G Just a neighborhood apart, but a different world Em D The boy in the corner and the 37th girl C G The bells rang out and the summer went cold Em D And the greatest story remained untold. [Verso 2] G C September hit like a closing door Em D Different hallways, different linoleum floors G C I looked for your denim jacket in the passing cars Em D But distance is measured by more than just yards G C Graduation came in a blur of blue Em D I lost the nerve, then I lost the view G C No more White Spot, no more Friday nights Em D Just the fading glow of those street-lamp lights. [Ponte] Am C Decades drifted like smoke in the air G D I stopped wondering if you were still there Am C Until a blue-light notification broke the haze G D A digital window into the old days Am C I see your kids, I see your wedding ring G D A thousand miles from where the shy kids sing. [Verso 3] C G Now Im scrolling through the "People You May Know" Em D Watching thirty years move in a steady row C G Youre still on 37th in my mind back then Em D But were never gonna be those kids again C D G No, were never gonna be those kids again. Outro C G Em D Em D C D G
