Tuning: Standard-ish ---He even writes on the album: "one take, in tune- no, drunk- yes" This song is pretty basic. Listen to it for the hammer-ons and such. Intro: F G C (walk down to) Am FGAm Verse 1: CAFG it's lonely in the Garden State, the place of no left turns in a Motel 6 in East Brunswick smoking 'till my lungs burn i put ice in the trash can to cool down my beer breathe in the perfume in the room of the person last here i can't stand this singing, i can't stand this song i can't stand being home, lord i can't stand being gone my ears ring when it's quiet and i ain't heard a thing all day and I'd call if I could but right now i ain't got nothing to say Chorus: (Same progression as intro) F G C (walk down to) Am FGAm and so on, and so long i can't keep singing these songs for too long, and so on Verse 2: (same as one) the first night we met we f**ked on the couch in my living room and spent the morning pretending it didn't happen searching for your lost phone which i found between the cushions, below a pile of our clothes, you said you couldn't with out it, I should have kept my eyes closed i left for work directly then for a 15 hour day made just over a hundred bucks none of I ever saved didn't hear too much from you before and never heard from you again cause as soon as this sh*t starts boy it's bound to end Chorus: Same as above chorus Verse 3: i throw empty beer cans at the tv when I'm watching the news i hate republicans I hate democrats I hate liberals too I think pacifists are weak and violence is wrong but I go limp for police and i fight it's called for the truth is i don't know or care with who or where I fit in at all but I keep on living simple RIDING FAST AND LIVING SLOW i write standard boring songs with boring standard chords just like the best and the - verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-repeat and so on...
