Verse 1:
G+G E minorEm
Throwback to my entire life,
G+G E minorEm
seen through a broken-down viewfinder
G+G E minorEm
neurologists would call my mind.
A augmentedA A7A7
but I think I know better than those science guys-
G+G E minorEm
cause i’ve got proof the lens is broken,
G+G E minorEm
and only rosy tinted slides.
G+G E minorEm
and recall errors are a given,
A augmentedA A7A7
I’m pretty sure my brain’s a kid’s toy, not a mind,
Pre-Chorus:
G+G E minorEm
but hey - at least it’s got a place
G+G E minorEm
for memories, but with them comes the spirit of the staircase.
G+G E minorEm
But who needs longing for the things I never said?
A augmentedA A7A7
I live by a mantra, the tattoo that I’ll get will say
Chorus:
D MajorD
No Ragrets spelled with an "A"
C majorC G+G
inked into both arms, cause it’s my favorite saying
Bb majorBb
and I’ll spread it to the world until I’m dead and the
A augmentedA A7A7
cheap tattoo is decaying.
D MajorD
Regarding bad decisions, I make them objectively
C majorC G+G
then scatter the truth when the blame falls back onto me
Bb majorBb A augmentedA A7A7
but who cares? I’ve no conscience to carry with me.
Bridge:
G+G E minorEm
And if you told me I’d be better in a year,
G+G E minorEm
A augmentedA point in fourth-dimension space that’s kind of far from here,
G+G E minorEm A augmentedA A7A7
I would gladly hibernate, and wait it out.
Verse 2:
G+G E minorEm
I’d emerge like a butterfly,
G+G E minorEm
And neurotypically fly
G+G E minorEm
In beautiful uncrooked lines
A augmentedA A7A7
My wings would capture everybody’s fleeting eyes
Pre-Chorus:
G+G E minorEm
But why live in the future or the past?
G+G E minorEm
Who cares about bugs when their lives barely last
G+G E minorEm
I'd rather live to 80 than die after just a day
A augmentedA A7A7
Though that may be nice, it would be much easier to say
Chorus:
D MajorD
No Ragrets spelled with an "A"
C majorC G+G
inked into both arms, cause it’s my favorite saying
Bb majorBb
and I’ll spread it to the world until I’m dead and the
A augmentedA A7A7
cheap tattoo is decaying.
D MajorD
Regarding bad decisions, I make them objectively
C majorC G+G
then scatter the truth when the blame falls back onto me
Bb majorBb A augmentedA A7A7
but who cares? I’ve no conscience to carry with me.

That's the way it will be.
