Standard tuning
SOL LAm
Make what you can out of nothing
RE/FA#
Keep bluffing your way to extinction
DO RE
You're a sick fuck to think
MIm DO RE
That this, unlike anything else, will last forever
SOL LAm
Building rock anthems a jigsaw exterior
RE/FA#
You see what you miss
DO RE
But you can't stand to be near her
MIm
It's bigger than that you realize
DO RE
But short-sighted impulses own what's left of your dignity
SOL LAm
Tell yourself quietly don't plow the field yet
RE/FA# DO RE
You're waiting to grow some new life from retrospect
MIm DO
You know free agency pays little in the long run
RE
But you just don't feel like your legs are that tired yet
MIm LAm
Friends and go-betweens
RE
Sing like canaries crushed in leaves
LAm DO
This is the thanks you get
MIm LAm
Somewhere that's sweet
RE
Maybe someday we will meet
LAm DO RE SOL
And I can thank you without strings
LAm
All these befores that get drilled on long after
RE/FA# DO RE
It's all just leverage when you're sure that it's over
MIm DO
The street goes blurry like a movie that you saw once
RE
Minutes freeze but you can't collect the corners still
SOL LAm
She used to whisper you name like a refrain
RE/FA# DO RE
And when she held you, you know, you felt safer
MIm
But your demons are fucking huge
DO
You stack your deck to lose
RE
You say there's nothing you can do
Well we all know that you're lying
MIm LAm
Friends and go-betweens
RE
Sing like canaries crushed in Spring
LAm DO
This is the thanks you get
MIm LAm
You get what you put in
RE
I guess that's bullshit in the end
LAm
Written under fluorescent lights
DO RE SOL
That replace the sun at night
