Verse 3
(A minor) You said,
wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
Five (F major) minutes before I died? I'd be
(D minor) filled with such regret
Before I (A minor) took my last breath
And (Asus2) I said, (A minor) you're willing

And you're (F major) not going to die
(D minor) Anytime soon
And I said, I (A minor) haven't
been eating chicken
Or meat or anything

Verse 6
We left the restaurant Where the (A minor)
head waiter in his 60s, said
Good (F major) bye, sir, thank you for your
busi (D minor) ness sir
You're success (A minor) ful and established,
sir
We like the frequency with
which you dine here, sir
And your (F major) money (A minor)
(D minor) And when (A minor) I walked by,
they said thank you too, dear
I was all (F major) pigtails and cords
And there was a day (D minor) when I
would've said something like
(A minor) Hey dude, I could buy and
sell this place, so kiss (F major) it
I too once thought I was (D minor)
owed something (A minor)

I was hoping (A minor)
I was hoping (G major) we could
(D minor) challenge each other (A minor)
I was hoping
I was hop (G major) ing we could crack
(D minor) each other up (A minor)
I too thought that (Asus2) when proved
Verse 8
wrong,
I lost some (A minor) how (F major)
I too once thought life was (D minor) cruel (A minor)
(D minor) And (A minor) it's a cycle, really
You think I'm withdrawing
and guilt tripping you (F major)
I think you're insensitive and
I don't feel (D minor) heard
Verse 9
(And I said do you believe we (A minor)
are) (F major)
Fundamentally judgmental?
Fundamentally (D minor) evil?
And you said yes (A minor)
I said, I don't believe in revenge
In right or wrong, (F major) good or bad
You said well,
(D minor) what about the man that I saw
Handcuffed in the emer (A minor) gency room
Bleeding after beating his kid
And she threw a shoe (F major) at his head
And I think what he (D minor) did was wrong
And I (A minor) would've have had
a hard time feeling
Compassion for him
I had to watch (F major) my tone for fear
of (D minor) having you feel judged (A minor)
Verse 10
I was hoping (A minor)
I was hoping (G major) we could dance (D minor) together (A minor)
I was hoping
I was hoping (G major) we could be (D minor) creamy (A minor) together
