Amity Gardens Tab

by Fountains Of Wayne


I saw a lack of this song anywhere, so I decided it was about time someone posted a
decent rendition of this little croon.  Here's my interpretation, enjoy!

VERSE 1:
              
angel broke her wing
           
oh you poor thing
                                
the hum of the motor gave way to the tick tick
                                   
ticking of the clock and the rattle of springs
                  
the buick's in the drive
             
its good to be alive

CHORUS:
                               
and if you knew now, what you knew then
                                        
you wouldn't wanna go home, wouldn't wanna go
                           
if you knew now, what you knew then
                                     
you wouldn't wanna go to amity gardens again

VERSE 2:

it isn't very much
but for now its home
a room in the shadow of a funny lookin' man
on the phone to the bank about a default loan
I thank you very much
ta ta we'll keep in touch

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:

  where you, came from

and act like you tried
                     
'cause some things are better kept 

deep down inside
                          
but you're not driving you're along for the ride
                    
just checking out the scene
                
and taking in the green

CHORUS:
