D# F Gm I went with you up to the place you grew up in Cm D# We spent a week in the cold Just long enough to Walden it with you Any longer, it would've got old Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died But nothing's changed, L.A.'s alright I'm sleeping in my bed again, and getting in my head And then, walk around the reservoir Chorus: F Gm Csus4 D# You, you must've been looking for me F Gm Csus4 D# Sending smoke signals Pelicans circling Gm F D# Burning trash out on the beach One of your eyes is always half-shut Something happened when you were a kid I didn't know you then and I'll never understand Why it feels like I did "How Soon Is Now" in an 80s sedan You slept inside of it because your dad Lived in a campground in the back of a van You said that song'll creep you out until you're dead Chorus: And you must've been looking for me Sending smoke signals Pelicans circling Burning trash out on the beach I want to live at the Holiday Inn Where somebody else makes the bed We'll watch TV while the lights on the street Put all the stars to death It's been on my mind since Bowie died Just checking out to hide from life And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve 'em With you riding shotgun, speeding, 'cause fuck the cops Chorus: And you, you must've been looking for me Sending smoke signals Pelicans circling Burning trash out on the beach I buried a hatchet, it's coming up lavender The future's unwritten; the past is a corridor I'm at the exit, looking back through the hall You are anonymous, I am a concrete wall You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsCm Csus4 D# F Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
