Stuck Between Stations by The Hold Steady

VERSE
D                             A
1+2+3+4 + 1+2+3+4 + 1+2+3+4 + 1+2+3+4 
There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right. 

Cont.
Boys and Girls in America have such a sad time together. 
Sucking off each other at the demonstrations Making sure their makeup’s straight 
Crushing one another with colossal expectations. Dependent, undisciplined, and sleeping late. 

CHORUS
A                   G D A
1+2+3+4 + 1+2+3+4 + 1+2+3+4 + 1+2+3+4
She was a really cool kisser and she wasn’t all that strict of a Christian. 

Cont.
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn’t all that great of a girlfriend. 
She likes the warm feeling but she’s tired of all the dehydration. 
Most nights are crystal clear 
But tonight it’s like it’s stuck between stations 
On the radio. 

VERSE
The devil and John Berryman 
Took a walk together. 
They ended up on Washington 
Talking to the river. 
He said “I’ve surrounded myself with doctors 
And deep thinkers. 
But big heads with soft bodies 
Make for lousy lovers.” 
There was that night that we thought John Berryman could fly. 
But he didn’t 
So he died. 
She said “You’re pretty good with words 
But words won’t save your life.” 
And they didn’t. 
So he died. 

CHORUS
He was drunk and exhausted but he was critically acclaimed and respected. 
He loved the Golden Gophers but he hated all the drawn out winters. 
He likes the warm feeling but he’s tired of all the dehydration 
Most nights were kind of fuzzy 
But that last night he had total retention. 

(SAME AS CHORUS)
These Twin Cities kisses 
Sound like clicks and hisses. 
We all tumbled down and 
Drowned in the Mississippi River. 

(N.C. - Piano plays)
We drink 
We dry up 
Then we crumble to dust
