Elevators Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Loo[Bb]king out the win[A]dow,
it feels like I've been here be[F]fore
[G]The shady patch of green behind
the big box store
[Bb]'Round another [A]corner past
the swinging [F]light
[G]In the back of a Cutlass Ciera one night

[Verse 2]
In Amer[C]ica, [G]Amer[C]ica
[G]I'm jus[F]t pulling out my hair
Trying to re[Cm]mem [C]ber where I was
[G]In America[C], I s[G]wear I sa[C]w you[G]
[F]Running for the back door
[Cm][G]

[Verse 3]
I [Bb]fol lowed you like b[A]readcrumbs
out on county road[F]s
Where [G]the only thing that mattered
was lightening my load
[Bb]At an Exxo[A]n station I stopped
for a [F]drink
[G]And I washed the memories
down the dirty bathroom sink

[Verse 4]
In Amer[C]ica, America
[G]I'm [F]just pulling out my hair
Trying to remember [Cm]where [G]I was
In Amer[C]ica, I swear [G]I saw [C]you
[F]Running for the back door
[Cm]

[Verse 5]
Elevators, old songs
Empty bottles, [Bb]so long
[Cm]After midnight, when I was young
The ice melted on my [Bb]tongue

[Verse 6]
[Cm]Elevators
Broken glass
Nothing [Bb]lasts

[Verse 7]
[Bb]I finally fi[A]gured out that everything was lo[F]st
So [G]I climbed in my wagon
And started across the wide
[Bb]open prair[A]ie
And headed up to the [F]lake
[G]Where is what's good here?
And what are we going to make of

[Verse 8]
Amer[C]ica, [G]Ame[C]rica
[G]I'm just pulling [F]out my hair
Trying [Cm]to remember where I was
[G]In [C]America, I s[G]wea[C]r I saw you
[F]Running for the back [Cm]door
[Bb]Running for [Cm]the back door
[Bb]

[Verse 9]
[Cm]Elevators, old songs
Empty bottles, [Bb]so long
[Cm]After midnight,
[F]when I was you[Cm]ng
The ice melted on my [Bb]tongue

[Verse 10]
[Cm]Elevators
[F]Broken [Cm]glass[F][Cm]
Nothing [Bb]lasts[Cm]
(nothing ever lasts)
