B F# G#m E F# Kevin left from Denver where the air is clear and people are nice B F# G#m E F# And he traded it for sea level, for misty rain, what a bitter compromise G#m E B F# For now he felt like he belonged to those who understood him G#m E B F# But he sold his soul to fit right in and he watched his friends desert him G#m E B F# He used to spend his nights by candlelight and drinking wine to vinyl G#m F# Now he's ours, now he's ours.
