Am
Here's to the knives in your pockets,
E Fmaj7
the gun in your trunk, the years it's been since we weren't drunk.
Am G7 Fmaj7
The neighbor shirtless, face-down on the lawn.

Here's to the BB gun holes in the wall, the burnt tin foil in the hall.

The weeks I've spent in bed since you were gone.
Am G7 Fmaj7
Here's to shitting my pants downtown when the dealer's late, stumbling home to the feds at the front gate,
Am G7 E Fmaj7
sleeping behind the school when the landlord comes. Here's to being young.

the shakes.
