Key: E

Verse 1:
A         E       F#m          C#m         E
Every girl I know who spun out
A              E                   F#m        C#m
Teenage years spent drinking beers
        A                               E
And pills and darts and bleach
A          E             F#m     C#m            A
We all meet in a new place where nothing
                E
feels as good
        A            C#m
And nothing feels as bad
F#m                  E    E
That’s the choice we made

Verse 2:
A       E        F#m
Chewing off our legs
A    E          F#m
Going to the farmer’s market
A             F#m
Going back to school
A            E
Calling up a friend
A             F#m
Going back to bed

Verse 3:
A           E    F#m C#m
Instead of going far away
F#m                    E
That place we loved to be
A                 F#m
Anywhere but here, baby
A                     E
Said through grinding teeth

Verse 4:
A     E      F#m        C#m             E
Every girl I know looked beautiful at night
      A                F#m
When everything kicked in
         A               E
When our bodies lost the fight

Verse 5:
A         E         F#m        C#m
There are girls who don’t come back
     A                  E
And though I loved them then
        A                F#m
I would trade it all to have them here
 A            E
I would give anything

Bridge:
A          E          F#m                C#m
To see her cutting up magazines on my kitchen floor
A          F#m
Smiling to herself
A                F#m
Talking and eating well

Outro:
A   F#m      E     C#m
I do another boring thing
A    F#m      E             C#m
I brush my teeth, I clean the sink
