Smokestacks On The Skyline

Track Info

[Verse]
D Smokestacks on the skyline G Barely made it in on time A For load in and another
D
late night of make believe
D And it’s sound check if

that’s what you call it
G Two drink tickets and

an empty wallet
A7 Waitin' around for
D
a coincidental anybody
[Verse]
D The bartender doesn’t wanna talk G How many have tried to

walk the walk?
A7 Seen it once,

you’ve seen em all
D Better left alone D And callin' home’s

easier not to do
G When you ain’t got

nobody waiting on you
A7 How many white lies can you tell
D
someone over the phone?
[Chorus]
A There’s a couple of

hot dog hills that
D
I would die on
A7 The secret’s in the way
D
you roll your eyes
G And I’m tired of window shoppin'
D
just to try on
E7 A new pair of shoes for
A7
the same old bad disguise
[Verse]
D How many friends

can you burn through?
G They don’t make

'em like they used to
A7 You’re gonna hit the dirt
D
if you keep looking behind
D So you settled down and

sold the gear
G It never took you

all that far from here
A7 But when the deal went down
D
it got you out of a bind
[Chorus]
A There’s a couple of

hot dog hills that
D
I would die on
A7 It ain’t much to you but
D
I’m getting along just fine
G You’ve been parking

all your troubles
D
on the front lawn
E And giving everybody
A7
a generous piece of your mind
N.C. You've been givin' everybody
D G D Bm A D
a piece of your mind
[Verse]

D Smokestacks on the skyline G Leaving town in the morning time A7 Licking familiar wounds and
D
lookin' for a bite
D It wasn’t like

we had much else to do
G Maybe we were just trying to A7 Come up with some kind of proof D N.C. That we were alive [Outro]
D G D
Bm A D
G D
Bm A D
