Alameda

Tom: C

C                     B7                 
you walk down alameda shuffle-ing your deck
            Am     A9        F
of trick ca-ards o-ver every-one
          C             B7    Am
like some precious only son
                          F
face down, bow to the champion
C                     B7
you walk down alameda looking at the
                  Am
cracks in the sidewalk
          A9        F
thinking about your friends
        C                 B7   Am
how you maintain all them in
                      F
a constant state of suspense
         Dm     E      Am      C 
for your own protection   over their affection
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                   Bm              C
you broke your own cause you can't finish what you start
                  B7                              Am
walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish
      A9                            F
could plague me when i'm awake
            C                B7    Am                               F
and now you see your first mistake    was thinking that you could relate
    C      F                     Am
for one or two minutes she liked you
        C      F
but the fix is in
       Dm     E       Am
you're all pretension
        C
i never pay attention
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bm                 C
you broke your own because you can't    finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bm                 C
you broke your own because you can't    finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bm                 C
you broke your own because you can't    finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
   Cm      F               Bm                    C    
if you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart
