Hello, there's a place I've been going

There's a place I've been going
D        Em F#m    G     A
Now I'm clean, it would seem
A
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen

As sad as it seems

I've seen Greg and he was like
D                             Em        F#m
"I've seen your friends at the birthday party
             G                  A
They were kinda fucked up before it even started
D                             Em           F#m
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
   G                            A
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
                      D                Em           F#m
So they just left it" (So they just left it)
   G                      A
I was wasted (I was wasted)
D       Em   F#m      G     A
And cold, minding my business


Chorus:
Then I've seen the girls and they were all like
D       Em             F#m
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"
       G                            A
Listen, I got myself a missus, so there can't be any kissing
 D                    Em                  F#m
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid
       G                            A
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"

Verse 2:
D       Em       F#m             G                          A
"This ain't going well", I thought that I was stuck in Hell
D                Em                    F#m
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel
 G              A
About her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well
D                Em                    F#m
You pulled away when I went in for the kiss
G              A
No, it wasn't a diss
 D                     Em                        F#m
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss
G                      A
After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?
 D                Em                    F#m
"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room
 G              A
He's gotta share for a bit"
 D                Em                    F#m
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby
 G                 A
To get things that they don't have

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


Outro:
               D Em F#m G   A
All your friends in one place
                 D   Em F#m  G     A
Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means
                 D   Em F#m  G     A
I depend on my friends to stay clean
D   Em F#m  G     A
As sad as it seems
D   Em F#m  G     A
As sad as it seems
D   Em F#m  G     A
As sad as it seems

D   Em F#m  G     A
