Verse 1
Am 
We met at the New Years
Party of my vegetarian friend
Dm 
I said I was studying English
I told you I was in a band
Am 
I asked what the band was called
I said it's called The Burning Hell
Dm 
I said I've never heard of you
Bb 
E 
Am 
I said that's probably just as well

Verse 2
Am 
Just to make conversation I told
you about a dream I had in which
Jean Baudrillard was rapping
with Public Enemy
Dm 
Shouting "Don't believe the
hyperreal" with Flava Flav and Chuck D
Am 
And I said I think we might have a lot in common then,
possibly
Dm 
Bb 
Because I'm also a musician and also
E 
a student of hip-hoposophy

Verse 3
You mentioned you used to play the
clarinet in high school
In the early years of the millennium
when you were young
Dm 
And you said you're hired, the pay is negligible,
and the tour starts next month
Am 
You asked what I was working on,
I said I'm writing an album of love songs
Dm 
I laughed and said love
Bb 
songs are dumb
And I said yeah,
E 
Am 
wait 'til you hear these ones

Verse 4
C 
Pass the wine, fuck the government,
Dm 
I love you
Am 
Three statements overheard at
E 
once in the crowded room
C 
But I  could not be sure which
Dm 
one had come from you
Am 
E 
So I passed you the wine and said yes, fuck the government,
Am 
I love you too

Interlude 1

Verse 5
Am 
Though neither of us are accomplished
dancers we danced a little bit
Dm 
My vegetarian friend was playing the hits of Will Smith,
and we got jiggy with it
Am 
There on the dance floor, the living room dance floor,
that's when it happened
Dm 
You stole my heart, I stole a kiss,
Bb 
E 
Am 
we stole someone else's gin by  accident

Verse 6
Am 
At some point we got cornered by an
amateur poet neither of us knew
Dm 
Either he had no  one else to talk to or just couldn't
pick up simple social cues
Am 
Step by step we backed away until we backed
up all the way into the bathroom together
Dm 
We told the poet that we
always go together
Bb 
E 
'Cause that's what happens when
Am 
you've been dating forever

Verse 7
Am 
We stayed in there for ages hoping the amateur poet would go,
it was awkward
Dm 
We came out and found he'd discovered
someone else to bother
Suddenly it was midnight
and Auld Lang Syne
Am 
Time and countdowns and gra
Dm 
tuitous public making out
Am 
Dm 
And we started shouting because everyone else
Bb 
E 
Am 
was shouting and isn't it fun to shout?

Verse 8

Dm

Am 
So I passed you the wine and said yes,
Dm 
E 
Am 
fuck the government, I love you too
