Colossus Of Roads Chords by Hurray for the Riff Raff

[Intro]

G  C  Am  
Cmaj7
 
 
[Verse]

G
Hold my head like

 a live wire,
     Cmaj7
Duck quick now 

I hear gunfire.
Am
Caught somewhere

 in the space between
Cmaj7
Do you love me and 

do you love me?
 
 
[Verse]

G
Everything is advancing,
C
I love to see you out dancing.
        Asus4
There's women up 

in the mountains,
         Cmaj7
We could be up there if 

we could get up there.
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
Say goodbye to America,
C
I wanna see it dissolve.
  Am                        
I can be your poster boy for 
    Cmaj7
the great American fall.
 
 
[Verse]

G
Now I'm out and 

I'm prowling,
    C
You make me wanna start growling.
Am                    
You will live forever 
        Cmaj7
as this bombshell
          G  C  Am  Cmaj7
In my mind.
 
 
[Verse]

G
I know that 

it's dangerous,
    Cmaj7
But I wanna see you undress.
Am
Wrap you up in 

the bomb shelter
   Cmaj7
Of my feather bed.
 
 
[Verse]

G
Eileen, I must be

 living twice.
C
Colossus of roads, 

Buz blur in the night.
Am
Cowboy hat and a cigarette,
Cmaj7
Grease marker in 

my leather vest.
 
 
[Verse]

G
Let's go paint the oil cans,
C
Write our names on

 a grain of sand.
Am
No one will remember us,
Cmaj7
Like I will remember us.
 
 
[Verse]

G
Meet me down in the Castro,
      C
We'll pretend it's 1985.
  Am
Before we were a twinkle,
             Cmaj7
In our great grandfather's eyes.
 
 
[Outro]

G
 Children forever!
Cmaj7
 In the end
Am
 Of the night, baby
       Cmaj7
Of the night.
Cmaj7
In the night, baby
       G       Am  Cmaj7
In the night.
