    G - D - Em - C (2x)

 

  G                                                                     D

1.   "Leave a beer on the hospital steps with a lipstick kiss goodnight,

      Em                                                           C

    watch for me down Cambridge Street, smashing out the lights."

               G

    Your words came steady and your words came quick.

             D

    your talk was heavy as we walked the bricks

              Em

    of this town that you never would admit you loved,

            C

    a whole wide world it was keeping you from.

 

          G                   D                 Em                         C

Goodnight, make mends, we'll see where this one ends.

        G                      D                   C

I'll meet you at the bottom of the road.

           G                  D         Em                  C

Goodnight, sweet friend, until we meet again

       G                       D                      G

I'll keep you in my broken hearted soul.

 

       G                                                                  D

2. Market Street's never gonna be the same, Washington lost its rhyme,

          Em                                                                   C

   it's gonna be quiet 'round Union Square with her withering neon signs.

                       G

    And your "desolate kingdom of sprawling bricks"

                 D            

    came crashing to the ground,

            Em

    we strode like kings through the Allston snow

                      C

    when the bars had kicked us out.

 

+  CHORUS         +  G - D - Em - C (2x)

 

              G           D                Em                            C

+  With ironclad bones, you made this town your own,

              G                             D                        C

    you made your mark and left the scars unsewn.

              G           D                Em                            C

    With ironclad bones, you made this town your own,

              G                             D                        C

    you made your mark and left the scars unsewn.

 

          G                   D                 Em                         C

Goodnight, make mends, we'll see where this one ends.

        G                      D                   C

I'll meet you at the bottom of the road.

           G                  D         Em                  C

Goodnight, sweet friend, until we meet again

       G                       D                      G

I'll keep you in my broken hearted soul.
