Verse

Brother hold your head this way
    
And bustle to the front of the line
                                      
Coz if they catch your eyes before you get inside,
            
Well you'll never be allowed


People got a name for us
                             
Coz we escape the strain of the days
                            
Oh we stretch in the side and bend in the middle,
       
But we never ever break

             /         
But if you feel that way now
       /           
Or if you feel so inclined
           (2)                               
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise

                  /         
Oh and if you wanna lose your frown
             /           
Or your name or even your face
       (2)                                        
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with whistling neon breath

It goes thru the same few chord progressions again then to the chorus
which is instrumental


Chorus
[    ][    ][    ][
   ][    ][    ][     ] repeat.


Then back into the verse


After second chorus

[(not minor)][      ][      ][
      ][      ]
                                                          Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....

                                      
All your spirits gone, and you are barley alive.
                              
You hand me a smoke, though it’s like you hardly notice
            
And it’s sad I suppose
                     
When I look into your eyes you say
                                          
It seems to go this way, no matter what’s at stake,
                                           
Oh it seems to go this way with everything I start


guitar solo


the chord progression is the same as in the verse,
soloing in the Dbm scale tends to sound pretty good

              /         
Oh so if you feel that way now
            /           
Or if you ever feel so inclined
           (2)                               
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise
               /           
But if you want to lose your frown
             /           
Or your name or even your face
       (2)                                        
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with rushing neon breath
