[Intro 1]
[Em][F][G][Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[F]Born [G]from
[Em]hippies back in sixty nine[Am]
I was [F]bored [G]by [Am]1992
[F]I walked into a re[G]cruitment
office a [Em]year before that
[Am]They [F]said, "Son,
we've [G]been waiting [Am]for you"

[Verse 2]
[F]Discharged from the [G]Gulf War
[Em]the very same [Am]year
[F]I came home with a [G]carton or [Am]two
Of [F]ci garettes [G]and mix tapes and
[Em]bullets from [Am]a gun
That my [F]dead best friend [G]never [Am]did use

[Verse 3]
Oh At[F]lanta,
[G]please need [Em]me like I needed y[Am]ou
Let [F]your sweaty em[G]brace open [Am]wide
'Cause At[F]lanta,
I'm fall[G]ing [Em]like most people [Am]do
And I [F]need all your [G]ground to sur
[Em]vive[F]
[G][Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]Wasted and down[G]trodden,
[Em]only in vain[Am]
[F]I cried myself [G]blind at the [Am]sight
Of the [F]old shopping [G]center
[Em]where we used [Am]to ride
[F]Now [G]condos as sterile as [Am]I

[Verse 5]
So I [F]bought me an old [G]air stream
[Em]for three thousand bucks[Am]
From a [F]drug dealer [G]I used t[Am]o owe
And I [F]thought to myself
[G]as I s[Em]lept off a hig[Am]h
The [F]irony [G]is starting [Am]to show
[F]Oh Atlanta,

[Verse 6]
[G]please need [Em]me like I needed y[Am]ou
Let [F]your sweaty em[G]brace open [Am]wide
'Cause At[F]lanta,
I'm fall[G]ing [Em]like some people [Am]do
And I [F]need all your [G]ground to survive
[Em][F][G][Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 7]
[F]Drove out [G]to Asheville [Em]'cause that's
where you [Am]were
Where you [F]married into
[G]money and pill[Am]s
And I [F]wanted [G]so bad [Em]to be
good with [Am]you now
The [F]fact is [G]that you [Am]never will

[Verse 8]
'Cause [F]some become [G]lov
[Em]ers because [Am]of the sex
And [F]some you know,
they [G]just become [Am]friends
In [F]our case I [G]just [Em]became bad at it [Am]all
I [F]never got good [G]at it again

[Verse 9]
[Am]Oh Atl[G]anta,
please need me like I needed [F]you[G]
[F]Let your sweaty em[G]brace open [Am]wide
'Cause At[F]lanta,
I'm suffoc[G]ating [Em]like some people [Am]do
And I [F]need all your [G]air to survive

[Outro 1]
