*These forms of the chords with the lower root notes are used in the bridge and outro.
 You can use them during the verses and it'll sound fine.
 In the recording the difference is only a big deal in the bridge/outro

Strumming pattern sample:
Chord names are above, up (u) or down (d) is below.
You can also just play the full chord each time instead of plucking part of the string.

[Intro]
  
  


[Verse 1]
             
From the corne

             
r of 3rd and W

/
ashington
    
You can't see 

where your bro

ther went
    
Out somewhere 

past the beat 

cops
              
And beautiful 


women who work

 for the gover

nment
           
They walk by i

          
n air-conditio

ned tunnels
         
That arc high 

above the stre

et
        
While I sweat 

in my hot coff

ee
    
And daydream a

bout how we mi

ght meet

  
  

[Verse 2]
             
Your mother as

          
ked for a pict

ure
    
She says "toda

y's your birth

day"
        
In some strung

 out western s

tutter
       
Making all the

 world her ash

tray
           
She adjusts he

     
r aviators
        
With an absent

 shaking hand
          
Tilts the came

ra forty-five 

degrees
    
And   calls ou

t modeling com

mands

  
  

[Verse 3]
             
When we used t

         
o go to partie

s
              
You'd spend an

 
 hour before t

he mirror
        
And I'd drink 

your gin
              
And ask about 

     
your high scho

ol souvenirs
           
Tacked on the 

        
wall above the

 bed
   
An old Inkjet 

collage
             
But you were n

/
ever much for 

talking

    So I knelt

 to your mirag

e

  
  

[Verse 4]
             
We'd walk the 

             
three blocks w

/
estbound
       
In the moonlit

 Philly fall
        
And the party 

would be grand
        
All our friend

s would grin w

ith pride
           
All our friend

              
s would be so 


drunk
              
And have such 


pleasant thing

s to say
       
And at last, w

e'd see each o

ther in the wa

y that we had 

dreamed to be 

seen

  

[Bridge]
  
  
  
  


[Verse 5]
             
Those nights y

              
our house kept

 
 secret
     
We'd stumble u

p the stairs
   
My hands tore 

through your r

ecords
           
While your han

ds unpinned yo

ur hair
           
The both of us

       
 still green e

nough
     
To remove the 

other's clothe

s
        
A quiet signal

 of devotion
              
That I am happ

     
y to have know
