[G] [C] [Em] [Am]
[G]Shared a cigarette for breakfast
[G]Shared an airplane ride for [C]lunch
[C]Sitting in between a [G]ghost
And a [Em]walking bowl of [C]punch
[G]Can you play a little hunch?
[G]Predicting a delay on landing
[G]Well I predict we'll have a [C]drink
[C]Lost my money on the [G]first hand
Got [Em]burned on a big [C]fat king
[G]And your ears are gonna ring
[Am]And your eyes just wanna close
[G]Nothing changes I suppose
Chorus
[C]It's too late to turn back, here we [G]go
[C]Portland, oh [G]no
[C]It's too late to turn back, here we [G]go
[C]Portland, oh [G]no
Em G
[G]We'll wait away the raindrops
[G]Look out boy, you'll catch [C]cold
[C]Serving boy can chain [G]nothing
That[Em] ain't anchored to his [C]throne
[G]But at least he's going home
[G]Sitting like a backwoods junkie
[G]Caught down in a servant [C]trust
[C]Look at the funny [G]monkey
Putting [Em]silver in his [C]cup
And [G]your silver turns to rust
[Am]And your secondhand clothes
[G]Trust no one I suppose
Chorus
[G]Shared a cigarette for breakfast
[G]Shared a pack of lies for [C]lunch
[C]Credit card [G]almighty
Bringing [Em]in the next little [C]bunch
[G]And you owe me on a hunch
[Am]And your eyes just wanna close
[G]And nothing changes I suppose
Chorus
