Intro: G D C (walkup)
G D C (walkup)
Our lives are measured by the weekend
G D C (walkup)
Said a weatherman to an anchor friend
G D C (walkup)
Feels like more if it feels like nothing
G D C (walkup)
And I'm predicting rain again
G D C (walkup)
I wore my tread out on your highway
G D C (walkup)
A rusted car parked in your driveway
G D C (walkup)
But neck to back, the fit's amazing
G D C
Is this a song or is this a painting?
Am
Swans are fainting
G D
Even with the spotlights on them
Am
Swans are fainting
G D
Should we call the doctor in?
G D C (other walkup thing)
G D C (walkup)
G D C (walkup)
In the bars and the ticket lines
G D C (walkup)
Black strawberries looked so fine
G D C
But when the fruit was pressed to wine
G D C
We could not be satisfied
Am
Swans are fainting
G D
Even with the spotlights on them
Am G D
Swans are fainting
