Verse 1:
G    Bb      Eb            C
That night I fell into the pharmacy
G    Bb              Eb    C
I thought I was in a lucid dream
G    Bb                Eb                     C
So I burned it down, anything that you could ever need
G    Bb                 Eb                  C
I'll just think real hard about, and they'll give it to me

Verse 2:
G    Bb          Eb         C
Jumped over the counter
G        Bb                 Eb                C
A phone rang and I yelled "Don't you fucking answer"
G                 Bb          Eb          C
Your hair was all matted You looked so fantastic
G         Bb               Eb            C
In those sweatpants that fabric felt so romantic

Bridge:
Eb       Eb                           C
         With all the drugs you could imagine
C                                       G
Think of all the parties we could make happen

G Bb Eb C
G Bb Eb C

Verse 3:
G    Bb          Eb         C
Turns out these clouds were hanging on strings
G             Bb                Eb                 C
So let's get high and cut them down And watch them fall on everything
G    Bb          Eb          C
Listen, there's nothing that I can't do
G    Bb          Eb         C
I've tried and I just can't lose

G    Bb          Eb          C
So sharp       so smart   so serrated
G    Bb          Eb         C
Turned your inattention into amazement
G        Bb      Eb         C
On your couch undoing each other's buttons
G    Bb          Eb         C
Dentyne breath and turning stomachs

Bridge:
Eb       Eb                           C
         With all the drugs you could imagine
C                                       Bb
Think of all the parties we could make happen

Breakdown:
Bb                       C
I was blacked out in the basement
C                           Eb
Like a soft pillow on hard pavement
Eb              D
Humming a slow song
D                           G
Of stray dogs and car alarms

G

Chorus:
G            Bb   Eb             C
Now I'm half-lit Knocking on your door
G            Bb   Eb             C
Could have sworn I'd been here before

G            Bb   Eb             C
What'll you do now? They've cut me off
G            Bb      Eb                C
Are you better off? Only time will tell

G            Bb   Eb             C
What'll you do now? They've cut me off
G            Bb   Eb             C
Are you better off? Only time will tell

G            Bb   Eb             C
I'm half-lit         Connected
G            Bb   Eb             C
A magnet
I'm          stagnant
