[Intro]
A F#m  x3


[Verse 1]
A
Vacant nights synthetic lights
     F#m
Back where it started no place
        E
left to go this time The discount
         D
wine has clouded my mind so I'll
          A
just have one more drink and spill
               F#m
more ink Let's raise a glass to
                E
burning bridges Set's the same
                      D
the players change So bundle up
    D
kid know you can't go home


[Chorus 1]
      A
Salad days box them
A
up and let it pour
     E
Step back then light a
E
match and close the door
  F#m
I guess that's just
               D
river city for you


[Verse 2]
 A
Step outside watch cars
             F#m
collide Just keep on
F#m
moving all in the past
 E
Stop lights dark in
                D
Highland park I take a
      D
right make footprints
        A
in new snow Next year
     A
the skies look clear
   F#m
An optimist like January
E
One weak smile I've walked
            D
for miles I check the time
     D
turn inhale deep and go


[Chorus 2]
      A
Salad days box them
A
up and let it pour
     E
Step back then light a
E
match and close the door
  F#m
I guess that's just
               D
river city for you


[Instrumental]
A E F#m D

then
A F#m E D


[Bridge]
            A
Take in the moonlight
  A
reflecting on strange
F#m
times as seen through
                E
famine stricken eyes
D
  Just try to walk on


[Instrumental]
A F#m E D


[Chorus 3]
      A
Salad days box them
A
up and let it pour
     E
Step back then light a
E
match and close the door
  F#m
I guess that's just
               D
river city for you
      A
Salad days box them
A
up and let it pour
     E
Step back then light a
E
match and close the door
  F#m
I guess that's just
               D
river city for you
      A
Salad days box them
A
up and let it pour
     E
Step back then light a
E
match and close the door
  F#m
I guess that's just
               D
river city for you
      A
Salad days box them
A
up and let it pour
     E
Step back then light a
E
match and close the door
  F#m
I guess that's just
               D
river city for you
