Uppers Arent Necessary

C lead me through these cities of imaginary trends Am something's gonna be changing come the morning time my friend F C G as fickle as these streets are they might not even wait around till then C I've got a lot to loose so come and take it from me quick Am everything you loose if it makes you stronger it makes you sick F take these cities from me I'll build buildings up with my own C G bare hands F C the uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal G Am that keeps the fire burning to drive out the cold F C that creeps in every corner crack and never leaves you alone G F C G till the lonely messengers come calling you back home the trees are stacked in rows on the side of the road stripped of any dignity a birthing may have had 100 thousand crucified on the Mojave I-5 line singers shepherds and salesmen all longing for someone to k**l the joy of wondering and end all their desire to help them to remember that the road is nothing but a liar F C the uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal G Am that keeps the fire burning to drive out the cold F C that creeps in every corner crack and never leaves you alone G F till the lonely messengers come calling you back Dm Am to the red door, cracked and crooked walk way C E the fence impaling the stars Dm Am C E F ghostly keepers lead the way through railroads of abandoned cars G E F G E the tracks and city streets cut through like scars F C the uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal G Am that keeps the fire burning to drive out the cold F C that creeps in every corner crack and never leaves you alone G F C G till the lonely messengers come calling you back home
