🤘 Verse 1:

D        A
I really don't know
   Bm      F#m
where this story began
  G        D
My friend Houston had got
     A
himself a girl

D      A
Swank is her name
 Bm        F#m
she's got the best of him
  G      D
And he's got the best of her
        A
in the palm of their hand


🤘 Chorus:

G       A       D
And they could care less what's coming up
G       A         D
Sometimes the future doesn't have much luck
   G          A
This wigged-out thing called love

They're on their own

 D     A
They said this has been
Bm     F#m
motionless orbit flight
  G         D
Around each other
        A
intoxicating their minds

 D     A
Dancing in the street
  Bm        F#m
under suburban lights
  G        D
They stumbled to the concrete
       A
without a hurt



🤘 Chorus:

G       A       D
 And they could care less what's coming up
G       A         D
 Sometimes the future doesn't have much luck
  G        A
This wigged-out thing called love

They make it kinda rough

And they don't really mind

They're on their own

G       A      D
As they walked together in time
G       A         D
Leaving all the drunks behind
  G        A
This wigged-out thing called love
 D     C    Bm
They make it kinda rough

But they don't really mind
          D
They're on their own
