On The Ave

D


[Verse]
D                            G                   D
We chased each other wet + soggy like a crashing wave
D                      G              A           D
Grey + filthy in the gutter breaking all over the place
D                      G      A
Down the Ave. in the pouring rain
         G          A
Saying, even more! even more!

D                       G
At the reservoir you impaled your wrist
D              G            A
On razor wire climbing the fence
D               G     A
I cut my thumb trying to
G              A
Climb into the blind-deaf school

D                G                 D
We were a mess, bloody and half-undressed
D                       G             A         D
In the shelter of the shadows of the Frisbie Street creek
    G         A        G
A canopy of trees and leaves
G               A
With us hidden underneath

D* D* D* D*   A


[Chorus]
D           G   A
Time rolls over me
D           Bm   A
Time rushes over me
D           G     A
Why try to run so fast
G           A
It still passes you by


[Verse]
D                      G
I had some friends, a psychotic couple
D                       G        A
They had a room in a residential hotel
D           G       A
They fought in the bed
G               A
While we fucked on the floor

D                  G
We'd only slept an hour together when
D                    G     A
The manager set the place ablaze
D                G        A
I awoke to the smoke and flames
     G           A
And had to kick down the door

D* D* D* D*   A


[Chorus]
D           G   A
Time rolls over me
D           Bm   A
Time rushes over me
D           G     A
Why try to run so fast
G           A
It still passes you by

D  G
D  G A
D  G A
G  A


[Verse]
    D                G         A
Why talk about what could have been
D                    Bm         A
Why walk around lost reliving moments
D          G       A
Why walk around at all
           G         A
When it's easier to drive a car

D                            G             A      D
We chased each other wet + soggy like a crashing wave
D                      G              A           D
Grey + filthy in the gutter breaking all over the place
D                     G       A
Down the Ave. in the pouring rain
         G          A
Saying, even more! even more!
