LYRICS:

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

To a shuffling beat

It's a colourful crowd

Spray can information

Cover the lonely station

Checkpoint for the state of the nation

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

Dm Am F C
On the missionbeat beat

Dm Am F C
The radio drug

Dm Am F C
Wayward destinations

Dm Am F C
Secondhand sensations

CHORUS:

Dm
Take this heart

Dm Am F
Break this heart

C
Wrap it up


So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

In the back of the cell

The plug and the cord

Shoulder dislocation

Bruised in isolation


CHORUS


BRIDGE:

Am Em G Am Am F Dm
Sleep, sleep

Am Em G Am Am F Dm Dm
Sleep, sleep



Dm Am F C Dm Am F C

In the eye of the storm

Writing on walls

Cross my heart confusion

We're all looking for a new solution

Dm Am F C
It's the heat of the land

Dm Am F C
Swallowing sweat

Dm Am F C
Say those dreams can shake me

Dm Am F C
Dawn come down and save me


CHORUS


BRIDGE


So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

So, so you got the blues

End.
