Trash- scavenged mattress
and a stuffed bear

Bedbugs crawling through your

lover's hair
You got that thousand yard stare

I get itchy just from talking to you

Drained hopes sinking
with the August sun

Floating out on the

freshman year beer run
It's so hard to have fun

But there used to be a way to get through

All your amazed days fade
But all of the damned dogs they think

Then be mortified when they finally do

Seated next to kid,
Gb

hyperventilating
She's so embarrassed by her dad's
Ebm
Ebm
use of slang
Ab
Ab
And nobody ever gets to feel cool
Db

These days I'm only saying
Ebm
Ebm
something if I'm swaying
Bbm
Bbm
That's the only time it doesn't
feel like I'm explaining
Gb
Gb
So if you see me and I seem too
entertaining
Ab
Ab
I'm not singing,
I'm just talking to you
Db
Db
But you don't want a funeral
unless everybody comes
Bbm
Bbm
And you don't want to kiss
until you're adequately numb
Gb
Gb
And you don't want to speak,
not even just to say goodbye
Ab
Ab
Because you don't want to share how
you're in shadows all the time
Db
Db
And you don't want to think about
the people that you knew
Bbm
Bbm
They're a tug on your sleeve,
they're an embarrassment to you
Gb
Gb
Just some bones in the sun,
just a decomposing rind
Ab
Ab
Just a sitcom that aired before
you were even alive
Db
Db
Your friends are full- length mirrors
that you pulled out of the garbage
Bbm
Bbm
Or ange juice soaked cotton balls to convince
you you're not starving
Gb
Gb
You need somebody to fuck,
someone to call when you get down
Bbm
Bbm
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
And some people to make wonder
Ab
Ab
why they even stick around
Db
Db
Now you don't want to drink,
you say it feels just the same as water
Bbm
Bbm
And you don't actually even like me, I just
subconsciously remind you of your father
Gb
Gb
His flannel shirts that smelled like
cigarettes and rain
Ab
Ab
And a whole catalog of things
that you wish never had to change
Db
Db
But it's never been quite like
it was when you were a kid
Bbm
Bbm
Puffy eyes, play fights, bug bites, Jif peanut butter,
Gb
Gb
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
Cin namon Toast Crunch, strawberry allergy, beestings
All of the people are asleep
Bbm
Bbm
Db

But tomorrow the punks
Gb

and the cops will both have to eat
Db
Db
And whatever those
Bbm

Db
people say
Gb
Gb
You know that you've got to do it anyway
Do it anyway.
