Places by Fountains of Wayne
B-side to Barbara H, also on Out-of-State Plates (2005)
 
[Verse 1]
D
Places,
D
We move in and out of
D
Watching faces
D
Float around the motel lobby
G
Like fishes
G
They're all blowing air
Em A
We know it must mean something
D
But we just stare
 
[Verse 2]
D
We stood
D
On Primrose Hill like statues
D
We were so good
D
Walked along the lochs
G
And into Camden
G
Tried on silver shoes
Em A
And orange plastic jackets

[Verse 3]
D
Places,
D
We move in and out of
D
Fast as hail stones
D
Make jokes
D
Hey, isn't that the word
G
For our tombstones
G
So that everyone will know
Em
When they're out one afternoon
A
And they stop to read the stones
