Chords with lyrics

Verse:
G+G
Salutations!
BB
To whom it may concern
E minorEm
The litter box has overflowed
C majorC          D MajorD
The frozen dinner burned
G+G
Oh we're running low on wine, my man
BB
Could you please swing by the store
E minorEm
My TV's just reality,
C majorC           D MajorD
and I can't watch no more
G+G
There's a shining diamond somewhere
BB
Where a kid is striking out
E minorEm
His dad is in the dugout
C majorC           D MajorD
He's foaming at the mouth
G+G
A augmentedA stomach's turning sour inside
BB
Of a disappointed scout
E minorEm
Yeah he thought he'd found the real deal
C majorC            D MajorD
But now he's got his doubts

Chorus:
A minorAm           BB
So it's over before it began
E minorEm
But I could nurse you in the triage
C majorC              D MajorD
I could stick you with some pins
A minorAm                   BB
But it's hopeless, these rules make no sense
E minorEm        D MajorD     A augmentedA
First they say we can't be lovers
C majorC               D MajorD
And now they say we can't be friends

Solo:
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm BB C majorC D MajorD

Verse:
G+G
Ruminations
BB
This medicine don't work
E minorEm
Had that same thought ten thousand times
C majorC          D MajorD
It's only getting worse
G+G
Swore off temptation
BB
But what if it's what I really wanna do
E minorEm
But how could I apologize
C majorC           D MajorD
For telling you the truth
G+G
There's a burnt out light bulb above my head
BB
It's stolen my ideas
E minorEm
There's a yearbook on the book shelf
C majorC            D MajorD
That can't explain the years
G+G
Well I never should have signed it
BB
But you know summer's coming soon
E minorEm
When I almost drowned you gave me mouth to mouth
C majorC            D MajorD
Beside your neighbor's pool

Chorus:
A minorAm           BB
It was over before it began
E minorEm
You could've left me in the water
C majorC           D MajorD
But you made me live again
A minorAm               BB
And I'm sorry, I can't pay you back
E minorEm        D MajorD        A augmentedA
I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves
C majorC             D MajorD
But we just can't get attached
