[Verse]
C         G
Reconcile to the belief
A                  F
Consumed in sacred ground for me
C                     G
There wasn't always a place to go
A                              F
But there was always an urgent need to belong
C                   G
All these bands and all these people
A                     F
All these friends and we were equals but
C                 G                   A      F
What you gonna do when everybody goes on without you?

[Verse]
C             G
Started in 87 ended in 89
A                      F
Got a garage or an amp we'll play anytime
C                        G
It was just the 4 of us, yeah man the core of us
A                         F
Too much attention unavoidably destroyed us
C               G
4 kids on tour, 3000 miles
A               F
In a 4-door car not know what was goin' on
C                       G
We got a million years, touring out like this
A                F
Hell no, no premonition coulda seen this

Mattie came from far away
A                F
From New Orleans into the East Bay
C                  G
He said "this is a Mecca"

F
This place's fucked!"
C               G
3 months go by, he had no home,
