A   E      F#m
My name is Veronica
A  E            F#m
I come from the south side of Chicago
A  E         F#m
Remember my raincoat
B                D
We love you the same way (and)
A   E         F#m
My life is a rope swing
A  E            F#m
Always headin' back to from where I came
A    E          F#m
Got no need to blame you

Chorus:
G   D   Em
Danger, danger
G         D          Bm
Everyone goes for a ride
G   D   Em
Danger, danger
G         D          Bm   A
Everyone loses their mind

My name is Nebraska
I live in a matchbox of Omaha
It's nothin' fantastic
We love you the same way, and
You call me Maria
My life on the north side of Miami
I might come and see ya

Chorus

My name is "I love you"
I come from the same place as everyone
Just lucky to be here
We love you the same way, and
This heart is relentless
I love you the most when you're down and out
Please come to my senses
'Cause we all play the same game

B                      D
Cause we all play the same game

Chorus

F#m
Been a long time now
F#m/A
Been a long time now
E/G#                     E+/C
Been a long time since I took you, my toll
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time since I took you, my soul
I don't want it to be broken up
I don't want it to be without love

This is the end
My passionate friend
My passionate friend
I send my love from, now
This is the end
My passionate friend
My passionate friend
Ayy, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I don't want it to be broken up)
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time since I took you, my soul
(I don't want it to be without love)
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time now
Been a long time, yeah, yeah, yeah
