good morning heartache
F#m D
you're like an old friend, come to see me again
A E F#m D
wake up, you're in cleveland again
A E F#m D
it's a solid line that never ends
i got stories that you'll never believe
and i know it, i wear it, i wear it on my sleeve
there must be something 'bout you that i liked
but right here in this rain, you know it just don't seem right
i always go out, i never hide
but in cleveland, i should've stayed inside
chorus
A E F#m D
justify my love for you
and i know it runs deep through your body too
from the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
in the old tin van, it ain't so sweet
chorus

the unfortunate get preyed on by vultures' eyes
86 cents in these pockets of mine
you can take my money, you can take my time
but you can't take my heart, it's in the city behind

aaron's intro lead is pretty right. i recommend just picking it up by
listening. that's the great thing about rancid, is that their leads are
easy to pick up.
you don't really need to do this song ska style. it's a great song no
matter what. just use the chords and play it your own way.
