This is a WIP, but mostly accurate. C#s are in the bassline. Feel free to edit. 


C  (C#)      Dm    Eb-b5           Bbsus2
I recall the curb    Waiting for the bus
Am             Dm              C    Bbsus2
Flaky yellow paint  What's become of us?

C       (C#)      Dm    Eb-b5                Bbsus2
Searching in the snow       For something in the distance
Am              Dm              C       Bbsus2
When the vision comes I have no resistance

It's one of several iterations     It gets hard to keep track

 On your custom Kawasaki    With the stinger on the back



Walk across the bridge Used to get so scared
Signed out AMA No one really cared

It wasn't in your nature Taking in the strays
But you handed me your helmet I clung to you for days

But I am strong now
I am strong now
That was all years back
On your custom Kawasaki
Chrome yеllow and black

Dm                              Bb   F 	                         C
  It's somewhere in a wrеckyard now   Never see it again on this earth
Dm        Bb		    Gm                  C
 Let the scavengers proclaim  How much it was worth

Out here on the median Not sure what to do
Figure something's gotta happen sometime
I wait all day for you I wait all day for you

Flak jacket full of holes
Kevlar coated in dusty black
On your custom Kawasaki
With a stinger on the back
