♫ Verse 1:
G                                  C
When someone tells me they're from Massachusetts
D                     C
Now I always ask what part
G                        C
I wonder if you kept the pilgrim ashtray
        D                       C
If it's still propped up on your bar cart
G                              C
Could make a grand off of the chain you bought me
         D                 C
But goddamn, it's not for sale
G                            C
If someone asks me who's my favorite Batman
      D                              C      D
I'll think of you and say Christian Bale

♫ Chorus:
    C                     G
As long as I live I'll remember the names
         D                      Em       D
Of your favorite beers and your video games
     C                          G
The look on your face when you turned 26
          D                             Em           D
And your dad got too stoned, yeah that one's gonna stick
    C                         D
You broke me to pieces but I root for you
             Ebm                  Em     D
Even though everything went up in flames
     C                  G
I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze
         D                       C
Or your wall of guitars or your video games
        D            Em    C
Or your video games
        G      D      Em
Or your video games

♫ Verse 2:
G                           C
Pick up your phrases, now I say it's aces
        D               C
But it always sounds so fake
G                           C
I wonder if your tongue is turning over
     D             C
Anything I used to say
G                          C
Your sister's trying for a baby lately
          D               C
And your parents got new jobs
G                         C
It's getting darker so I turn you down
    D                 C    D
But I can't turn you off

♫ Chorus:
    C                     G
As long as I live I'll remember the names
         D                      Em       D
Of your favorite beers and your video games
     C                          G
The look on your face when you turned 26
          D                             Em           D
And your dad got too stoned, yeah that one's gonna stick
    C                         D
You broke me to pieces but I root for you
             Ebm                  Em     D
Even though everything went up in flames
     C                  G
I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze
         D                       C
Or your wall of guitars or your video games
        D            Em    C
Or your video games
        G      D      Em
Or your video games

♫ Bridge:
D                     Em        G             D
At least I'm treading water and not about to drown
D                  Em        G                D
I'm not trying to find you, babe you're just around
D             Em      G           D
Everything reminds me of you even now
               C  D
Even now, even now

♫ Chorus:
    C                     G
As long as I live I'll remember the names
         D                      Em       D
Of your favorite beers and your video games
    C                          G
The fire in my gut that I've chased ever since
      D                 C
Yeah, you set the bar, you're gonna stick
