Intro 1

Verse 1
F F 
 
Let's stop and talk on a slow street
Dm Dm 
 
Your guy is cross- eyed and muttering
Bb Bb 
 
Looks at me like "Now who
the fuck is he?"
C C 
 
And I tell you, man, I wish that I knew
F F 
 
Trash- scavenged mattress
and a stuffed bear
Dm Dm 
 
Bedbugs crawling through your
Bb Bb 
 
lover's hair
You got that thousand yard stare
C C 
 
I get itchy just from talking to you
F F 
 
Drained hopes sinking
with the August sun
Dm Dm 
 
Floating out on the
Bb Bb 
 
freshman year beer run
It's so hard to have fun
C C 
 
F F 
 
But there used to be a way to get through
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
All your amazed days fade
But all of the damned dogs they think
Bb Bb 
 
Gm Gm 
 
F F 
 
they've got it made
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
And no matter what you say
You know that you are gonna
Bb Bb 
 
C C 
 
do it anyway
Bb Bb 
 
Gm Gm 
 
F F 
 
Bb Bb 
 
F F 
 
Do  it anyway
Knuckle tattoo says "I H8 2 LIVE"
Dm Dm 
 
On another dickhead who assures
me that I'm just too sensitive
Bb Bb 
 
You can't tell everybody
to fuck off forever
C C 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
Then be mortified when they finally do
F F 
 
You had a textbook breakthrough
on a shaky plane
Dm Dm 
 
Seated next to kid,
Bb Bb 
 
hyperventilating
She's so embarrassed by her dad's
Gm Gm 
 
use of slang
C C 
 
And nobody ever gets to feel cool
F F 
 
These days I'm only saying
Gm Gm 
 
something if I'm swaying
Dm Dm 
 
That's the only time it doesn't
feel like I'm explaining
Bb Bb 
 
So  if you see me and I seem too
entertaining
C C 
 
I'm not singing,
I'm just talking to you
F F 
 
But you don't want a funeral
unless everybody comes
Dm Dm 
 
And you don't want to kiss
until you're adequately numb
Bb Bb 
 
And you don't want to speak,
not even just to say goodbye
C C 
 
Because you don't want to share how
you're in shadows all the time
F F 
 
And you don't want to think about
the people that you knew
Dm Dm 
 
They're a tug on your sleeve,
they're an embarrassment to you
Bb Bb 
 
Just some bones in the sun,
just a decomposing rind
C C 
 
Just a  sitcom that aired before
you were even alive
F F 
 
Your friends are full- length mirrors
that you pulled out of the garbage
Dm Dm 
 
Or  ange juice soaked cotton balls to convince
you you're not starving
Bb Bb 
 
You need somebody to fuck,
someone to call when you get down
Dm Dm 
 
C C 
 
F F 
 
And some people to make wonder
C C 
 
why they even stick around
F F 
 
Now you don't want to drink,
you say it feels just the same as water
Dm Dm 
 
And you don't actually even like me, I just
subconsciously remind you of your father
Bb Bb 
 
His flannel shirts that smelled like
cigarettes and rain
C C 
 
And a whole catalog of things
that you wish never had to change
F F 
 
But it's never been quite like
it was when you were a kid
Dm Dm 
 
Puffy eyes, play fights, bug bites, Jif peanut butter,
Bb Bb 
 
C C 
 
F F 
 
Cin namon Toast Crunch, strawberry allergy, beestings
All of the people are asleep
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
But tomorrow the punks
Bb Bb 
 
and the cops will both have to  eat
F F 
 
And whatever those
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
people say
Bb Bb 
 
You know that you've got to do it anyway
Do it anyway.
