♫ Verse 1:
C Am
Staring at the mirror in the bathroom
Cmaj7 Em
Sink into the girl I am away from you
Dmaj7 Em
I’ve been sick but haven’t been drinking much
F
I bet that it’s the other stuff
♫ Verse 2:
C Am
I hang out at your house with the tennis court
Cmaj7 Em
I eat the fancy dinners with the tiny fork
C Am
You have a kind of playfulness that I adore
F
You’ve never really had to grow up before
♫ Chorus:
Cmaj7
I guess I could play house with you
Am
I guess life could be easy for me too
Dm
If I do
Cmaj7
But I know debt and I know dirt
Em
I know the unrelenting earth
Am
And it’s true that
Dm
I would choose that
♫ Verse 3:
C Am
I always got the sense you felt rеspected
Cmaj7 Em
When I trеated you just like a little kid
C Am
I bring up the money and you throw a fit
F
I say that I’m sorry but I don’t mean it
♫ Verse 4:
C Am
And you’re the only person that can make me cry
Cmaj7 Em
Laughing 'til I feel the joy split my sides
C Am
Heartache settles in hot and tight
F
I love you but I can’t keep putting up fights
♫ Chorus:
Cmaj7
I guess I could play house with you
Am
I guess life could be easy for me too
Dm
If I do
Cmaj7
But I know debt and I know dirt
Em
I know the unrelenting earth
Am
And it’s true that
Dm
I would choose that
♫ Outro:
Am F
I still have a shirt you bought me last year
Cmaj7 Dm
And it’s worth about half of my rent here
Am
I did not object
Em
I took what’s given
F
Just like you did
