[Verse 1]
A
Oh, a warm hello
Would be apropos
C#m
We haven't spoke in several weeks
F#m
But solitude tends to be the mood
Bm E
So you probably won't hear from me
A
And there was once relief in the changing trees
F#m C#m F#m
The contrails that cut the sky
F#m
But pre-arranged circumstances change
Bm E
And I'd be lying if I said I'm fine
G D
Catch her in the switchbacks in the line
A
Switching back to Central Standard Time
Each day slightly more resigned
E
Trying to make some sense of life
[Chorus]
A Esus4 A
So if we take off
E E6 E E6
You could quit your day job
D
We'd call ourselves the Angel Youth
Bm
You'll find us traveling and making tunes
A Esus4 A
But then I think of
E E6 E E6
All the people we've loved
D
How they'll be growing older soon
Bm
How it's true for me and you
[Verse 2]
A
So I convalesced in the middle west
C#m
And fell for Ohio's roads
F#m
I'm standing still by the windowsill
Bm E
Where I once watched the world explode
A
So when it's looking dark in your narrative arc
F#m C#m F#m
I'm here and you can talk with me
A hackneyed fool under fascist rule
E
Wasting days singing about his dreams
G D
All of which has lead me to believe
A
Earth's a set and life's the movie screen
And every dream that you have in-between
E
They'll fade with every frame you see
[Bridge]
A Esus4 A
Oh, is it self-hate?
E E6 E E6
I wish I was in L.A
D
Far from all the roads we knew
Bm
Unworried where we're going through
[Chorus]
A Esus4 A
So if we take off
E E6 E E6
You could quit your day job
D
We'd call upon the Angel Youth
Bm
We're coming to a town near you
A Esus4 A
Lonely and outraged
E E6 E E6
Guess for now that I'll wait
D
For generation Angel Youth
Bm
To point me towards a higher truth
[Outro]
A Esus4 A
It's on the off-chance
E E6 E E6
We never come to cross hands
F#m
'Cause it's too late to not pretend
D
And I'd for all of this to end
E
Just glad that I could be your friend
