"My Greatest Invention”
Into:
Dm G Dm G x2
Verse 1:
AD
I wonder where you are right now
F#m A
I guess I always do
Bm F#m
People mention you all the time
BD
Without me asking them to
AD
I take the dirt they give me
F#m A
I put it in the books
BmF#m
I smear around the memories
BD
Until I like how it looks
BmF#m
I get a taste for everything
BmE
Then I swallow the hook
Chorus:
AD
You are the life of the party
BmE
Even when you didn't attend
AD
I would get lost telling stories
Bm E
But I'd always have to change up the end
DA
I'd complete the collection
BmA
Of my favorite reflections
DC#m
With an all out rejection
C#F#mEDm G
Of our true imperfections
A
You were my greatest invention
Verse 2:
A D
It's getting hard to keep in order
F#m A
My different versions of you
BmF#m
Which one's just an answer to a question?
BD
Which one is actually true?
AD
You can turn a second inside out
F#mA
And end up with an eternity
BmF#m
But to polish up a diamond
BD
You have to clear some debris
BmF#m
It doesn't work for everyone
BmE
But it works for me
Chorus:
AD
You are the life of the party
BmE
Even when you didn't attend
AD
I would get lost telling stories
BmE
But I'd always have to change up the end
DA
I'd complete the collection
BmA
Of my favorite reflections
DC#m
With an all out rejection
C#F#mEDm G
Of our true imperfections
A
You were my greatest invention
Chorus:

You are the life of the party

You were my greatest invention
