C majorC
You're like a constant crowding consonant
E minorEm
I'm a claustrophobic; I, I said
DmDm
We're as comfortable as wool warming naked indifference
G+G
Thank God your words have come to rescue me from my sentence
C majorC
You're like a two stepping tongue on a flesh dance floor
E minorEm
You're the eulogy I can't avoid anymore
DmDm
That tumor in my side celebrating malignance:
G+G
"Surprise! I'm moving in; I think I've grown on your parents"
*Riff*
You want to talk about all the feeling I'm feeling
*Riff continued*
I'm a passed out priest in an A augmentedAA meeting
C majorC
And they're checking my pulse, trying to make a decision
C majorC
I've got those rolled back eyes but nothing's clouding my vision
DmDm
You're like a knock at the door in the middle of dinner
G+G
From the friendly registered sex offender
C majorC
All equipped with a mustache and a windowless van
DmDm
You're telling me how much you've changed
G+G
I'm trying to hide the crayons and no you can't come in
C majorC
I'm like your neighbor's hands on your father's throat:
E minorEm
"Sweetie, you go back inside, see this is just for adults"
DmDm
So adult is what we'll be, domestic violence in denim
G+G
Each tumble down the stairs appeals your puff paint addendum
C majorC
You say I'm your backpack caught on a chain link fence
E minorEm
But dear I'm a thank you card in the future tense
DmDm
I'm jumping out of cakes serving divorce papers
G+G
I'd say I love you too but I'm all out of favors
*Riff*
You want to talk about all the feelings I'm feeling
*Riff continued*
Like your chalkboard wrists but I don't tally the meaning
C majorC
You keep forgetting the plot, let alone the long sleeps
C majorC
My eyes, they only know three words and each is pronounced "Please!?"
DmDm
And I would walk you home if I could find my crutches
G+G
Probably listen more if you didn't talk so much
C majorC
Why don't you show yourself out
DmDm G+G
How can you cry now, this whole thing's been such a drought! Alright!
DmDm
La-dee-da-dee-da La-dee-da-dee-dee-da-da
G+G
La-dee-da-dee-da La-dee-da-dee-da (Repeat X4)
DmDm
You want to talk about all the feelings I'm feeling
G+G
You're a phone call home after eight long seasons
DmDm
There's a mail order bride and a baby that's teething
G+G
Said the smog, it hurts your eyes, so on the next train you're leaving
C majorC
I'm not certain it's the smog, more just the constant grieving
C majorC
But first you're dropping off the kid, sticking me with the feeding
DmDm
I said, oh God damn it you're so mean
G+G
You say I'll lose the Christian crowd if I say things like these
C majorC
But I've already lost them, I couldn't care less
DmDm
I guess my path, it just got wide, so I'll just wish you all my narrow best
G+G
I guess that's it
Outro:
C majorC E minorEm D#D# DmDm G+G (Repeat, end on C majorC)
