Verse 1: Phoebe Bridgers:

D/F#                            Gsus2
My telephone, it doesn't have a camera
D/F#                            Gsus2
If it did I'd take a picture of myself
D/F#                                Gsus2
If it did I'd take a picture of the water
Bm11
And the man on the offramp
        F#m7              Gsus2
Holding up the sign that's asking me for help

D/F#

Gsus2                                 D/F#
I got a job and I'll work here for the summer
Gsus2                                D/F#
I fold the towels and set them by the pool
Gsus2                         D/F#
Everyone looks happy with each other
Bm11                    F#m7                      Gsus2
'Til they step away and say the thing they really meant
                          D/F#
They always sound so cruel

Asus4

Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst:
Asus4                     Gsus2
I didn't know what I was in for
Bm11                      Gsus2
When I signed up for that run
Asus4                     Gsus2
There's no way I'm curing cancer
          Bm11
But I'll sweat it out
          F#m7                  Gsus2         D/F#
I feel so proud now for all the good I've done


Verse 2: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst:
Gsus2                                     D/F#
I know a girl who owns a boutique in the city
Gsus2                                D/F#
Selling clothes to the fashionably late
Gsus2                                       D/F#
Says she cries at the news but doesn't really
           Bm11                  F#m7
Cause it's too much fun, it's too much time
        Gsus2                       D/F#
And too much plastic money to be made

Asus4

Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst:
Asus4                      Gsus2
I didn't know what I was in for
Bm11                        Gsus2
When they took my belt and strings
Asus4                   Gsus2
They told me I'd gone crazy
   Bm11                     F#m7
My arms are strapped in a straight jacket
       Gsus2                       D/F#
So I couldn't save those TV refugees

             Asus4
When they're on their backs
      Bm11
In a bloody bath
        F#m7
Full of Sarin gas
       Gsus2
On a screen

Asus4

Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst:
Asus4                       Gsus2
I didn't know what I was in for
Bm11                  Gsus2
When I laid out in the sun
Asus4                     Gsus2
We get burned for being honest
             Bm11        Gsus2            D/F#
I've really never done anything, for anyone


Outro: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst:
Gsus2                                    D/F#
To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me
Gsus2                            D/F#
Otherwise I have to listen to me think
Asus4                    Gsus2
Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out
    Bm11             F#m7
Sit on the couch and think about
    Gsus2
How living's just a promise that I made
