Verse 1:
  D MajorD  E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
Hello,
     Gsus2Gsus2  A augmentedA
There's a place
       D MajorD
I've been going
     E MajorE   D/F#D/F#     Gsus2Gsus2 A7sus4A7sus4
There's a place I've been going
      D MajorD E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
Now I'm clean,
     Gsus2Gsus2
It would seem
    A7sus4A7sus4         D MajorD
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen
 E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#  G+G
As sad as it seems
 A7sus4A7sus4
I seen Greg and he was like
 D MajorD            E7sus4E7sus4   D/F#D/F#
"I seen your friends at the birthday party
     Gsus2Gsus2           A7sus4A7sus4
They were kinda fucked up before it even started
     D MajorD        E7sus4E7sus4  D/F#D/F#
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
   Gsus2Gsus2           A7sus4A7sus4
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
       D MajorD              E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
So they just left it" (So they just left it)
   Gsus2Gsus2    A7sus4A7sus4
I was wasted (I was wasted)
   D MajorD  E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
And cold,
      Gsus2Gsus2
Minding my business

Verse 2:
        A7sus4A7sus4
Then I seen the girls and they were all like
D MajorD             E7sus4E7sus4  D/F#D/F#
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"
     Gsus2Gsus2             A7sus4A7sus4
Listen, I got myself a missus, so there can't be any kissing
   D MajorD              E7sus4E7sus4  D/F#D/F#
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid
     Gsus2Gsus2          A7sus4A7sus4
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"


Verse 3:
D MajorD          E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
"This ain't going well",
 Gsus2Gsus2            A7sus4A7sus4
I thought that I was stuck in Hell
   D MajorD             E7sus4E7sus4   D/F#D/F#
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel
      Gsus2Gsus2           A7sus4A7sus4    D MajorD
About her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well
              E7sus4E7sus4   D/F#D/F# G+G
You pulled away when I went in for the kiss
        A7sus4A7sus4
No, it wasn't a diss
       D MajorD           E7sus4E7sus4    D/F#D/F#
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss
   Gsus2Gsus2              A7sus4A7sus4
After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?
D MajorD          E7sus4E7sus4    D/F#D/F#   Gsus2Gsus2
"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room
      A7sus4A7sus4
He's gotta share for a bit"
  D MajorD             E7sus4E7sus4    D/F#D/F#
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby
  Gsus2Gsus2           A7sus4A7sus4
To get things that they don't have


Verse 4:
      D MajorD             E7sus4E7sus4
Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya?
D/F#D/F#         Gsus2Gsus2
You know that I could sue ya if we're married
    A7sus4A7sus4
And you fuck up again
  D MajorD         E7sus4E7sus4    D/F#D/F#
Impress myself with stealth and bad health
    Gsus2Gsus2         A7sus4A7sus4
And my wealth and progressive causes
       D MajorD          E7sus4E7sus4
Drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha
 D/F#D/F#     Gsus2Gsus2
Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it
 A7sus4A7sus4
Look, the fucking state of it
D MajorD
I came pretty late to it
E7sus4E7sus4     D/F#D/F#     Gsus2Gsus2       A augmentedA
We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture


Outro:
     D MajorD   E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
All your friends
    Gsus2Gsus2 A augmentedA
In one place
         D MajorD  E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#   G+G A augmentedA
Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means
    D MajorD E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#
I depend
   Gsus2Gsus2  A7sus4A7sus4   D MajorD
On my friends to stay clean
 E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F#   G+G
As sad as it seems
  A7sus4A7sus4     D MajorD E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F# Gsus2Gsus2 A7sus4A7sus4
As sad as it seems

D MajorD E7sus4E7sus4 D/F#D/F# Gsus2Gsus2

 A7sus4A7sus4
As sad as it seems
