[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
