Number One

|D  |A   |Em   |D  |


[Verse 1]

D
I looked up and all I could see was mist
A
Who needs coasts when you're perfectly adrift
Em
I've got a friend who knows just how it is
D
We walked a while and watched the sun arrive
A                                    F#m
Drinking and plannin', hey, you know any time
                Em
You wanna sing, I'm here, just like tonight
D
Golden storm, put that hurricane away
A                           F#m            Em7
I wasn't flattered when you named it after me


[Pre Chorus]

                   Em                  Bm      G
I want to lay down almost constantly, ‘cause I know


[Chorus]

     A                     D
Just how to look the other way
Bm   G           A            D
I-it was so much easier yesterday
         Em       G
When the door was open and
      Bm           A
We're just running far
Em             G
Come on, let's close it and

     Bm              A   Em         G  Bm
I'll call you number o---ne, number o--ne
       A   Em    G
Number o---ne,


[Verse 2]

       D               Bm
You're reading books about how it all should work
A                     F#m            Em7
Written by men who've never seen the world
            Em                      D
Or a garden coming to color in that northwest town
          Bm
Where the streets are overrun;
A                 F#m
Punk rock kids do what they've always done
Em7              Em
Time can stop; I was the lucky one
D               Bm
Blue blood runs out into the street
A           F#m           Em7
TV  shows rewarding treachery


[Pre Chorus]

                       Em                     Bm     G
I'm watching now and I will be the same time, next week

[Chorus]

     A                     D
Just how to look the other way
Bm  G       A                D
I-I-I wanna understand yesterday
         Em       G
When the door was open and
      Bm           A
We're just running far
Em             G
Come on, let's close it and
     Bm              A   Em         G  Bm
I'll call you number o---ne, number o--ne
       A   G          Em
Number o---ne, number one

[Bridge]

G      F#m   D   G              F#m
Don't le------t     him run the race
G    F#m  D     G           F#m   G
Come o----ut of your hiding pl----ace
   A
Oh ooh


[Outro]

  D                       Bm
I look into your eyes but don't know how they work
  A                  F#m
Desire is power, and trust is just a word
   Em7                      Em
Remember when we met, I was young and you were hurt
D               Bm
Maybe we should talk about what's at stake
    A                       F#m
You don't have to feel like shit and say it's ok or
Em7            Em                                    A
Pretend to be asleep while you're dreaming of being awake
