Lost Leader

[Verso 1]
 
              G 
You are a lost leader 
Am  C/B      C 
Where is your band? 
              G           Am    C/B    C 
You pull up by an old beater blue minivan 
              G           Am 
The partys a real heater 
                          Em 
But these arent your friends 
                          Am            C 
Theyre just people who know who you are 
 


[Verso 2]
 
              G 
Youre spouting your mouth off 
     Am    C/B    C 
To someone thirty years your junior 
              G 
She asks you to play a song 
     Am    C/B    C                              C/B 
You say, Does anyone have a tuner? And someone says 
Am                 D7/F#             Em           C 
Yeah, that guy over there probably has what you need 
C  C/B  Am         C 
I think his name is Steve. 
 


[Verso 3]
 
                   G     Am      C/B       C 
Well it turns out Steve has a line on some shit 
                   G     Am      C/B       C 
You take his lead and you run with it 
C/B Am   D7/F#             Em           C 
Then its 5am and youre stumbling home again 
C  C/B  Am            C 
Thinking, Man, fuck this." 
 


[Verso 4]
 
             G 
Youre fumbling with keys now 
Am  C/B      C 
Which one is your apartment? 
             G 
Theres a tear in your sleeve now 
Am  C/B      C             C/B 
And you dont know how you got it 
Am                    D7/F# 
Were those stairs always there? 
             Em           C 
You dont know, you dont care 
C  C/B  Am              C 
You had it, now youve lost it 
 


[Verso 5]
 
              G           Am    C/B    C 
Theres wine in the fridge that you opened last week 
              G 
You said so many things tonight 
       Am    C/B    C 
Maybe you just shouldnt speak 
C/B Am                D7/F#             Em              C 
But you live what you know and you just cant seem to let go 
C  C/B  Am            C 
Of patterns that repeat 
 


[Verso 6]
 
          G           Am    C/B    C 
I used to buy everything you released 
           G        Am    C/B    C 
You kept me company while I fell asleep 
C/B Am                D7/F# 
Now I go to hear you play tunes 
                Em                  C 
And there are too many dudes in the room 
C  C/B  Am       C      C/B Am  G 
I just wanna leave
