Sleep on the Floor

Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear.

Pack yourself a (F)fav'rite (C)blouse.

Take a withdrawal slip,

take all of your (F)savings (C)out.

'Cause if we don't (Am)leave this (G)town we might never (F)make it out.

I was not (Am)born to (G)drown.

Baby, come (C)on.

(F)Forget what Father Brennan said,

we were not born in (C)sin.

Leave a note on your bed,

let your mother (F)know you're (C)safe.

And by the (Am)time she (G)wakes

we'll have driven (F)through the (C)state,

we'll have driven (Am)through the (G)night.

Baby, come (C)on.

(C)If the sun don't shine on and me today,

and if the (F)subways (Am)flood and (G)bridges (C)break,

will you lay yourself down and dig your grave,

or will you (F)rail (Am)against the (G)dying (C)break,

will you day?

(C)And when we looked outside,

couldn't even (F)see the (C)sky.

How do you pay the rent?

Is it your (F)(C)parents, or is it hard work,

dear, holding the atmosphere?

I don't wanna (Am)live like (G)that.

If the (C)sun don't shine on (F)me today,

if the (Am)subways flood and the (G)bridges break,...

Jesus Christ can't save me (C)tonight.

Put on your dress, yes, wear something nice.

decide on me, yeah, decide on us.

Oh, Illinois, Illinois.

(F)Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear,

pack yourself a fav'rite (C)blouse.

Take a withdrawal slip,

take all of your (F)savings (C)out,

'cause if we don't (Am)leave this (G)town,

we might never (F)make it out.
