moving in rhythm, footsteps aligned

and what we had has come and gone
D Em
we used to own these streets
head to head, you spinning me
C D
your backâ??s against a concrete wall
Em C D
your body buzzing on the intercom,
Em C D Em
the intercom, the intercom, the intercom
G
we woke the neighbors,
C
it's no wonder they hate us
( D ) ( C ) ( G )
on every single floor
