lyrics

Bbm Ab
I can’t remember most of my memories at all
Ab Db
I wonder if they still remember me
Ab Db Ab
But I’m not so lost, You can still find me
Ab Bbm Db
at the bar with the neon cactus sign

If I’m not there it’s cause I’m not taking calls
So that’s the only place I’ll ever be
And I need someone to split the cost of my beer, thank you kindly
Ab Eb
Don’t sit behind me, cause that’s where
Bbm Ab Db
I keep all of my good times

Db Ab Db
I’m in the house band, we play every other night
Ab Db
Music for bartenders, then songs for turning out the lights
Ab Db Ab Db Ab
I dress like a coat stand, cause it’s cold by the door
Ab Bbm Eb Db
And stare out over what in another life would pass for a dance floor

I’m looking through the screen of a vending machine
Forgetting what I wanted in the first place
If I had a ticket maybe I’d get on a train
If I had a good enough reason I’d’ve gone

The windows are never clean, but once they might’ve been
Once I could’ve read my own face
Dances and glances can’t be all the same
And if they gave chances out for free,
Who’s to say I wouldn’t’ve taken one

I’m in the house band, we play every other night
Music for bartenders, then songs for turning out the lights
I dress like a coat stand, cause it’s cold by the door
And stare out over what in another life would pass for a dance floor

I sit around for a while, until someone gives me my cut
Then the door swings open and the door swings shut
But if I fall asleep John, don’t wake me up
Cause my dreams are the closest thing to a life I’ve got
