Mass

Album: Holy Ghost (2016)
Tuning: Standard
No Capo

Verse

E5
Pulled over at midday
            A5
The joker’s still wet behind the ears
               E5
He hands off a novel of novice citations
            A5
Outside the service station
The glue sets beneath our heels

Chorus

G#5               A5
My baby’s in Massachusetts
                      E5
And all this booze is useless
       D#5                   C#5
Sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep
G#5                     A5
And the cashier here is ruthless
                       E5
Jeanette, I wrote your name down
             D#5                 C#5
But I’d hate that job as much as you do
         B5      G#5   A5
If I was stuck between Barton and Binghamton too

Verse

E5
Days like this I miss listening to records
A5
Making coffee together, snow globes and jersey sheets
E5
I tried sleeping in our bed without you last night
A5
But that didn’t work at all because I couldn’t sleep

Bridge

G#5
Sometimes I wish it was still last summer
    A5
And you still lived in South Philly
             E5                  D#5
And I wasn’t playing a show in Nebraska
           C#
Or Austin, Texas
           B5                     A5
Asking the kids what they ate for breakfast
G#5                   A5
But here I am, Valero bathroom
                                   E5
Who’s paid to keep these things cliché?
     D#5                 B5
Bury me beneath New York State
                      A5
Because it’s the only place where I feel dead
{Outro Chorus}
G#5               A5
My baby’s in Massachusetts
                      E5
And all this booze is useless
       D#5                   C#5
Sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep
G#5                     A5
And the cashier here is ruthless
                       E5
Jeanette, I wrote your name down
             D#5                 C#5
But I’d hate that job as much as you do
         B5      G#5   A5
If I was stuck between Barton and Binghamton too
