The 9th track off of the newest addition to The Gaslight Athem's back catalogue 'American Slang.' If you don't have this album I highly reccommend it. One of my new all time faves! Here goes... Intro: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse) Verse: G The cool is dead, baby go on to sleep E Rest your weary head and lover bury me G And in the morning we'll start over again E C That's how they do it up on the screen G So me and my baby we would dance all night E But I don't know the steps in my baby's time G To do it like they do it for the girls uptown E C I hear they light 'em up like the blues Pre-Chorus: E C So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting E C And she's waiting, and she's waiting D For us to remember... Chorus: E C G D Was I good to you, the wife of my youth E C G D Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do E C G D So I will wait on the edges in between C D These New York streets G Where you and I would meet Post Chorus: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse) Verse 2: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-gaslight-anthem/229042.html ] G For 29 years we loved that line E And I would take it easy if I had your mind G But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire E C And you're slow like Motown Soul G So what now lover with your long black hair? E If I cut you open baby I can repair G And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue E C And I'm the only one 'round here Pre-Chorus 2: E C So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting E C And she's waiting, and she's waiting D For us to recover...

Muted Pre-Chorus: E C G D So was I good to you, the wife of my youth E C Not another soul could love you G D Like my... Chorus 3: E C G D So was I good to you, the wife of my youth E C G D Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do E C G D So I will wait on the edges in between C D These New York streets C D On all these New York streets G Where you and I would meet Hopefully everything is okay but as I worked this out by ear who knows?
