[Intro]
C   C/B   Am   G    F     Gsus(add9)  

[Verse 1]
C      C/B           Am       G
Me and Judas down on 6th and Lowry
F                       Gsus(add9)
Outside a cafe when the moonlight fell
C           C/B              Am         G
It cast itself down, pouring out on the city, what a pity
F                           G
when something so beautiful wastes itself

C       C/B        Am       G      F     Gsus(add9)  

[Verse 2]
         C            C/B              Am       G
I took a pull from my wood pipe as the taxicabs drove by,
F                   Gsus(add9)
full of college age women in drag
             C           C/B               Am            G
Yeah they're all wearing costumes and they all look like children
            F                         Gsus(add9)
And they're blowing us kisses as they pass

[Pre-Chorus]
           F                        G
I wondered what in the hell in this world could compel
    C                      Fsus2             G
Any creature to smile on a pair like we were

[Chorus]
       F                           G
He had short, neat curls that were shadow black
          C        C/B             Am         G
And I was fumbling around with the weather app
F                          G
Wondering if he could ever love me back
     Am                           Fsus2   Gsus(add9)
Sometimes these things are hit or miss
         F                    G
With the perfume trail lingering behind
            C            C/B               Am          G
I caught an urge and the nerve to take his hand in mine
       F                     G
And if it didn't rain at the perfect time,
     Am           G/B         Fsus2
It's probable we wouldn't have kissed
       G                  F            C    C/B   Am   G     F   Gsus(add9)
In the NorthEast Minneapolis Arts District

[Verse 3]
            C             C/B     Am        G
He whispered, I'm not the kind to lie about leaving
        F                        Gsus(add9)
With me clinging so tight to his chest.
     C               C/B               Am           G
In a notebook on the rough-hewn walnut stand by his mattress
      F                     Gsus(add9)
I had drawn ultimatums in a cursive mess.

[Verse 4]
         C       C/B     Am           G
And then I never told anyone, kept it quiet
   F                           Gsus(add9)
Inspired by the urgency of the love we shared
C           C/B             Am          G
Some of our friends say I'm still alive in it
    F                               Gsus(add9)
And others don't believe I was ever really anywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
          F                      G
I gave my body and blood for the power of love
    C                          Fsus2
And hoped that I would conquer sin
      C               G
But I never even rose again

[Chorus]
       F                           G
He had short, neat curls that were shadow black
          C        C/B             Am         G
And I was fumbling around with the weather app
F                          G
Wondering if he could ever love me back
     Am                           Fsus2   Gsus(add9)
Sometimes these things are hit or miss
         F                    G
With the perfume trail lingering behind
            C            C/B               Am          G
I caught an urge and the nerve to take his hand in mine
       F                     G
And if it didn't rain at the perfect time,
     Am           G/B         Fsus2
It's probable we wouldn't have kissed
       G                  F            C    C/B   Am   G     F   Gsus(add9)
In the NorthEast Minneapolis Arts District

[Bridge]
            Am         G        Fsus2
Then in the light of a wasteful moon, so familiar
C                        G
You sold me out for some pieces of silver
    C                 C/B          Fsus2
But still I loved the feel of your lips
      C            C/B       Fsus2
And i never wanted more than this:
C              G
To kiss you in public,
   Fsus2             G          C    C/B    Am     G
To openly say that I loved it

[Outro]
     Fsus2               G      C    C/B   Am     G
Oh I write this down for Judas
     Fsus2                G        C    C/B     Am     G   Fsus2   G    C
Oh I love these words for Judas
