Capo 2
G
Shared a cigarette for breakfast
G
Shared an airplane ride for lunch
C G
Sitting in between a ghost
Em C
And a walking bowl of punch
G
Can you play a little hunch?
G
Predicting a delay on landing
G C
Well I predict we'll have a drink
C G
Lost my money on the first hand
Em C
Got burned on a big fat king
G
And your ears are gonna ring
Am
And your eyes just wanna close
G
Nothing changes I suppose
[Refrão]
C G
It's too late to turn back, here we go
C G
Portland, oh no
C G
It's too late to turn back, here we go
C G
Portland, oh no
Em G
G
We'll wait away the raindrops
G C
Look out boy, you'll catch cold
C G
Serving boy can chain nothing
Em C
That ain't anchored to his throne
G
But at least he's going home
G
Sitting like a backwoods junkie
G C
Caught down in a servant trust
C G
Look at the funny monkey
Em C
Putting silver in his cup
G
And your silver turns to rust
Am
And your secondhand clothes
G
Trust no one I suppose
Chorus
G
Shared a cigarette for breakfast
G C
Shared a pack of lies for lunch
C G
Credit card almighty
Em C
Bringing in the next little bunch
G
And you owe me on a hunch
Am
And your eyes just wanna close
G
And nothing changes I suppose
Chorus
