[ VERSE 2 ] - Repeat second part of the riff of verse 1 over the lyrics: I came back to start a band, of course. I saw her walking thru the crystal court. She made a scene by the revolving doors. She's gonna walk around and drink some more. So we walked across that grain belt bridge. Into bright new minneapolis She said i think that all those things I did. Were just momentum from the party pit. [ CHORUS ] Em Dmaj Cmaj Dmaj EmII DmajII EmII sailed away on such separate trips and she got pinned down at the party pit. Em Dmaj Cmaj Em7 EmII DmajII EmII sailed away on such separate trips and she got pinned down at the party pit.
