I Hope I Scare People On Public Transport

	  		
Intro 

I hope I scare people on public transport, 
no shoes, my eyes rolling back into my head,  
I fell down the steps of the tram at the stop 
where I used to get off to fall into bed with you. 


Verse 

G                               C 
But now it's just a long, long, lonely walk home.  
Em                     C 
Edgy, wild eyes trying hard to stay strong,  
G                                C 
Traversing the streets where the dogs and your old neighbours bark at me  
Em          C 
from behind fences that I swear are too small,  
G                       C 
I miss the taste of the city asphalt  
Em                           C 
and I miss the smell of your freshly washed hair,  
G                       C 
And I miss the times we slept under bridges,  
Em                                   C 
bummed cigarettes from strangers and no one else mattered  
G                            C 
Today my mother flies out to Shanghai  
    Em                                 C 
and today my father surely will catch me,  
    G                          C                       Em                             C 
And today my sister will go to school and forget me, I wish I could tell her just how much I cared,  

G                    C    
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,  
Em                             C 
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,  
G 
And those heavy blankets  
C 
and that shitty, little plastic fan  
Em                              C 
and the way you had no idea who I am 
 

verse 2 

G               C 
Everything is a fucking eye strain  
Em                                  C 
and I can't see my legs through the piss and the rain,  
G                                  C 
And I hope to God that I can still spit, because  
Em                  C 
fingers crossed our paths will cross again someday,  
G                              C 
And the train wires circle the planned out city centre  
Em                              C 
like vultures coming in for the kill,  


Bridge 

G 
We're gonna take your money  
C 
We're gonna take your money 
Em 
We're gonna take your money 
C 
and do nothing with it 

G                    C    
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,  
Em                             C 
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,  
G 
And those heavy blankets  
C 
and that shitty, little plastic fan  
Em                              C 
and the way you had no idea who I am
