Counting Crows - Bobby and the Rat-Kings: chords

       A#                    F
I'm an elevator kid pushing buttons when
            C   G  C
I wanna go home
    A#                   F                     C G C
But my generation hasn't even got a name of its own
        Am               A#
We just buy what the TV sells
            F                          A#
And almost never stop wishing we were somebody else
      Gm                      Am
But tonight in the dark I can be myself

Chorus:
      C                 Am    Em
When Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play
       F                    G
We'll make 'em stay, we'll make 'em play
  C                 Am  Em
Play 'til the stars all fade
       F                  G
We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
           C                      Am
Make 'em play all night 'til the light
                       F
like we've never seen nothin'
                     G              C
Like we'll never see anybody ever again
              Am   Em
When the Rat-Kings go away
       F            G
We'll never be the same

Z tried to edit Reddit, instead it said
it had eaten her phone
She goes from tinder to cinder
'Til she remembers she's a flame of her own
You can almost lose your heart
Hoping for something better 'til it tears you apart
While the days get longer and this night won't start

Chorus:
But when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play
We'll make 'em stay
We'll make 'em play
Play 'til the stars all fade
We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
Make 'em play all night 'til the light
Like we've never seen nothin'
Like we'll never see anybody ever again
When the Rat-Kings go away
We'll never be the same again
Oh, again

Now Joey's gotta run for the train
Says he's trying to make it
Back to the City by ten
And Mike's on his bike with the motor running
I told him trains were running all night right then
In the moonlit town after the bridge fell down
There were fires and we lost some power
So we all dressed up for the ramble
And ran those streets long past the witching hour

      Am         A#
I saw Dorothy in drag
            F             A#
Taking the Tin Man for a ride
         Gm              A#              Csus4  C
And then Z the Cat said she knew where to go
         Am                  A#
Then she kissed me without a thought
                 F                        A#
Said "Sometimes memories are all that we got
                 Gm          A#           C
So come on, boy, let's make some at the show"

So there's some leather-wrapped Fender-strapped kid
With a pick-finger twitch
He's got a recipe for radio or rain
I don't know which
In the shadows when the lights are dowsed
The cinder kids flare while they twist and shout
We're the sparks in the dark
That'll never go out

Chorus:
So when Bobby and the Rat-Kings come to play
We'll make 'em stay
We'll make 'em play
Play 'til the stars all fade
We'll make 'em stay 'til dawn
Make 'em play all night 'til the light
Like we've never seen nothin'
Like we'll never see anybody ever again
When the Rat-Kings go away
We'll never be the same

        C
So say hey, when the Rat-Kings
Em                    F                 G
When the Rat-Kings, when the Rat-Kings go away
     C
Say hey, when the Rat-Kings
Am                   Em                 G
When the Rat-Kings, when the Rat-Kings go away
      C                 Am
Say when the Rat-Kings go (When the Rat-Kings go)
F              G
When they go away (When they go away)
     C                 Am    Em
Say hey, when the Rat-Kings go away
       F            G     C   G  F  G
We'll never be the same again

Again
Oh, again
Oh, again
Again
