lyrics

For Realz

Verse (sus shuffle)
[D] Curb bumpers are weathered
Rebar sticking out from the [C] renovated art center
[D] Insignia is faded
Employees are also boarding [C] for a salary traded
[G] To work

Chorus
For Realz
Where all the [C] cool kids bring their [D] EV's
For [G] Realz
Free charging with [C] vegan food and chocolate [D] smoothies

Verse
[D] Paul's on the corner stage playing
Stomping his feet on the plywood while [C] he strums his electric guitar
[D] While his Spark is charging
He can smell the jalapeno [C] on his vegan burrito
[G] That he ate during the last break
Paul loves to sing

Chorus

Bridge
[E4] Never seen anything like the [D4] EV videos
[C4] Who Killed the Electric Car
[B7] And drag races of EV's dusting
[Am] Internal combustion
[E4] Dozens of electric cars
Charging on 240 volts in the parking lot feeling the breeze
[D4] Wisps insects dancing in the glow like little folk stars
Night nearing its end with one final burst of energy

Chorus
