No Trespassing Waltz
D A
and it's true that we're teenage fools
D G
trading five days a week to work and school
D G
just to sneak around on weekends watching for the cops
A
and waltz in abandoned parking lots
[THIS PART SOUNDS BEST WITH POWER CHORDS]
G A D E
and call these cracks in the system a revolution
G A
but to the vanguard party that's criticizing:
D B
what have you been up to since the Soviet Union?
E G
when you're not starving
D B
life is just the mechanics of eating
[BACK TO REGULAR CHORDS]
G G A A
D D A G [x4]
D A G
talking to you is raw eternity, but what isn't these days?
D A G
and if our only gift is this dark black void, well to me that's okay
D A G
cuz our nihilism is the terrorist wing of youthful apathy
D A G
burn everything down just to drink in the ruins of what used to be an
American city
D G D A
so if it's all the same, then I'll pass out tonight still hating punk
rock
D G A

G A D B
there's whiskey in my bottle, and you know there's enough for you
G A D B
I'll join you in that grave your digging if there's room enough for two
E G

D B

[REGULAR CHORDS AGAIN]
G G A A
D D A G [x4]
D A G
tomorrow I'll wake up in a ditch with every friend that ever meant
anything
D A G
on the opposite side of the country
D A G
but I still wouldn't trade anything for the nights when the rain
promised
us at 2 AM
D A G
in some burnout industrial shell of a town that we'd never be dry
again
[POWER CHORDS]
E G D B
and I'll keep walking and running and drinking towards a day that I
can
see
G A D
suicide as a tragedy
