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