C                                G
Well, listen, I got somethin' up on my mind
 F                             G
And I think it's time that we talked
            C                          G
There's too many interlopers that are showin' up
      F                          G
And some of 'em deserve second thoughts
                 C                              G
'Cause when the past makes you wanna die a little.
     F                      G
And dyin' makes you wanna work
            C                     G
Well, then how we gonna find any room to have a life?
    F                              G               C   G   F
I think it's time we lifted the curse (Sha-la-la-la)

               G                  C   G   F   G
Say the mantra, "I love goodbyes".
Ooh
🎸 Chorus:
    C                        G
The dirty wedding dress is a promise
  F                             G
I knew it that night at the shore.
       C                      G
And I knew that night on the rooftop
 F                          G
I knew that she was from before
    C                 G
So we got married that August
          F                       G
And the neighbors all lost their minds
          C                             G
We had to board up all the windows and shoot out the drones
              F                               G
We took that sadness right from Saturday night, oh
🎸 Post-chorus:
    C                    G
Now only my people can see me
F                   G
Only my people come in
C                  G
Everybody outside talkin' like they know
    F              G
But no, they don't know
            Am
They don't know what they think
What they thought, thought they heard
           F
What's the time where they're at?
What's the word? Herb's the word
           C
No, they don't understand these bits
And they'll never get why
    G                             C   G   F
So glory to the ones gettin' right

🎸 Bridge:
              G                 C   G   F    G
Say the mantra, "I love goodbyes"

Well, on tour with the band, there's like, a backstage party
            F                                 G
And this reporter makes her way across the room to me
       C                        G
She asks me 'bout my loss, she laughs and calls it canon
       F                         G
She asks if I'll read her latest piece
          C                             G
Oh, Penny Lane, they're edgin' all over me
       F                       G
And a critic has moved up the block
  C                                     G
Jokes he wants publishing 'cause I referenced him one time
                 F         G
And I'm like, "What the **** "
      C                                G
Well, Sammy writes pieces for the big machine
          F                            G
'Cause a book deal can't even pay the rent
      C                                 G
But Pac-Mannin' another artist to put a dollar in his pocket
                   F                 G
He's like, "I'm a lone working class man"
         C                              G
Maybe that's why mom stays down at the shore most of the time
       F                            G
We're always meetin' her there to breathe
                C                          G
Oh, yeah, it's nice to feel special, it's nice to have a think
           F                            G
And it's nice to get a break from that cynical beat
🎸 Chorus:
            C                       G
I think my dirty wedding suit was a promise
           F                      G
That I'll never let 'em take my soul
         C                          G
Yeah, you're too good to spend any time in the mud
        F                  G
Yes, you're a truth to behold
               C                          G
So how can I talk to the ones counting streams?
        F                          G
Or the ones who like to bully the dolls?
        C                                 G
Or the ones waitin' in line to get ripped off just to turn around and rip someone else off?
F                            G
Baby, aren't you sick of it all?
🎸 Post-chorus:
    C                    G
Now only my people can see me
F                   G

C                  G
Everybody outside talkin' like they know

But no, they don't know

             F               G
I'm sayin', "No, they don't know"
Three times
F                        G
No, no, no, they don't know
             F                G
I'm sayin', "No, they don't know"
C
  Close the door
And one, two, three, make it stop
