Verse 1:
C majorC E MajorE
Yeah, I'm walking to your house, and it's kinda cold, but I don't mind
FF
Cause the last beer I had warmed me up
G+G
And I'm on sort of Main Street singing Johnny Cash
FF
And I almost get hit by a car, and tell this dude to fuck off
C majorC
And he rolls down his window, and he's got this weird mustache, and I laugh
He turns around, and I run, and I get lost
FF
But I find my way back, and I see the street light
G+G
I see McNally Avenue, and I get excited
G+G FF C majorC
I see a hedge, and a house, and a hall light, I get nervous, and knock, and wait
Yeah, I picked up a few things on the way
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I got a tikka masala

G+G FF
Your house, and this kid walks up to me, and asks if I got a light
C majorC
I say "I don't know, man, I don't even know where I'm going"
I end up at the elementary school where we played when we were kids
FF
But you told me not to hopscotch, cause that's what girls did
G+G C majorC FF
And I sit on the woodchips thinking "I'll smoke away my stash"
