Intro

Riff 1  Asus2  E
Riff 1  Asus2  F#m

Verse

E                          C#m
I used to walk down to the docks in spring
G#m                   A
Drink tallboys on the rocks by the water
E                         C#m
Under the watchful eye of day-glow cranes
G#m                     A
Spread like floods from condo to condo
F#m      B        E    Riff 2 Riff 1
Wave goodnight to me

Chorus

A
When it all fell down
E                         Riff 1
I should have been prepared
A
Spent the last five years sayin'
     E                 C#m
Come on, come on, come on, get outta here
A
I wish it didn't hurt
E                   Riff 1
I wish I didn't care
A
Spent the last five years
            E                 C#m
Sayin' come on, come on, come on get outta here

Verse

E                    C#m
Ignorance is bliss until the day
    G#m                    A
The things you ignored all come into focus
E                          C#m
And those conveniences and cavities
     G#m                   A
They hurt like hell 'cause you never noticed
F#m      B        E
Wave goodnight to me

Chorus

A
When it all fell down
E
I should have been prepared
A
Spent the last five years yellin'
     E                 C#m
Come on, come on, come on get outta here
A
I wish it didn't hurt
E
I wish I didn't care
A                        F#m
They spent the last five years
             E                 C#m
Yellin' come on, come on, come on get outta here
G#m           A
Come on, come on get outta here
E             C#m
Come on, come on get outta here
G#m           A
Come on, come on get outta here

Bridge

F#m      B
Wave goodnight
       G#m                C#m
To the sleepless city too tired to fight
        A
They're pushing you out in the name of progress
Am
Selling your memories to the tourists
