Kings of Leon – Bowery Chords by Zach Bryan

[Intro]

F  Am  F    C    G
Am
   Aw, sorry, f*ck, my
N.C.                  F    C    G    Am
One, two, three, four
 
 
[Verse]

F
Young man, there's a place 

you can go, you can hide
        C
You can know you'll never be

 fully done or fully satisfied
         G           
You want the world, 
                               Am
want the girl, everything in between
    F
And she was sitting next to me 

last night at the bowery
C
Sick to her stomach 

as she sipped gin and tonic
G                         
Telling me she’d rather be 
                  Am
dead than sleep alone
  F
I told her that she’s everything
F
That I lack deep inside
C
That I’ll always 

see her in the passenger seat
        G                
Of that black two-seater 
                           Am
that was parked out in the rain
 
 
[Chorus]

               F
You picked the wrong one
                        C
If you're in it for the long run
              Em
And I got the passion
                     Am
But I don't give it away
             F
But when the time's right
                C
I'm a hell of a good night
              Em
I'll make you burn bright
                   Am
As the heat of the day
 
 
[Interlude]

F    C    
G    Am
 
 
[Verse]

F
Rolled down out of bed, 

it's underneath the overpass
C
Thought we'd have a look 

around my old stomping ground
G                    
Girl, it's so pretty, 
                               Am
won't you leave the city for a while?
F
Thumbed a ride up the road, 

winter winds blowing cold
C
"Jesus is Lord" up 

ahead on the billboard
G                      
But you're nice, sure, 
                            Am
it shows when you roll your eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
               F
You picked the wrong one
                        C
If you're in it for the long run
              Em
And I got the passion
                     Am
But I don't give it away
             F
But when the time's right
                C
I'm a hell of a good night
              Em
I'll make you burn bright
                   Am
As the heat of the day
 
 
[Solo]

F    C    
G    Am
F    C    
G    Am
 
 
[Out-Chorus]

               F
You picked the wrong one
                        C
If you're in it for the long run
              Em
And I got the passion
                     Am
But I don't give it away
             F
But when the time's right
                C
I'm a hell of a good night
              Em
I'll make you burn bright
                   Am
As the heat of the day
