Verse 1:

E MajorE            A augmentedA
Boomer, look at me back living with my parents
C# minorC#m            BB
making an appearance as a guest in my highschool bed
E MajorE             A augmentedA
bored with myself and predictable depression
  C# minorC#m
my same old chord progressions
    BB            E MajorE
but my lyrics were better back then

Bridge:

  A augmentedA
Oh well
  C# minorC#m
my fault
    BB          E MajorE
it will only get worse with age
   A augmentedA     C# minorC#m
But I will make art
     BB
until it kills me

E MajorE

Verse 2:

       E MajorE
Gotta sneak away for a smoke
         A augmentedA
old friends seem formal, not stoked
      C# minorC#m               BB
either you lost your sense of humor or they don’t get your jokes
       E MajorE
they all quit smoking these days
     A augmentedA
in fact, you’re the last one
     C# minorC#m             BB
chiefed a lonely little spliff on the front porch

Verse 3:

    E MajorE       A augmentedA
It's a lousy mess of adulthood
       C# minorC#m          BB
looking for a job on craigslist like I should
      E MajorE        A augmentedA
Got my resume just today as spruced up with lies
       C# minorC#m              BB
cause I don’t want to work in retail for the rest of my life, no....

E MajorE

Bridge:

  A augmentedA
Oh well
  C# minorC#m
my fault
   BB        E MajorE
I can always sell lemonade
   A augmentedA     C# minorC#m
but I will make art
     BB
until it kills me

Chorus:

A augmentedA
Boomer you’re my last good friend
     E MajorE        BB
Your too soon old, too short on time
A augmentedA
Rest your achy bones in your bed
  E MajorE        BB
enjoy your final curtsy of life
     C# minorC#m    A augmentedA
Your death will be a real heartbreaker
   E MajorE     BB
I assume it’s only natural I guess
A augmentedA    BB
No less a bummer

Verse 4:

E MajorE              A augmentedA
Keep in good health and keep up with your peers
    C# minorC#m            BB
Gotta reinvent yourself, don't be the redundant adjective
E MajorE            A augmentedA
Nobody cares about your travels
       C# minorC#m             BB
So you sound like your bragging about the countries you've been in but
E MajorE           A augmentedA
I can recall a day when you knew my middle name and
C# minorC#m            BB
we mostly felt the same now
            E MajorE
that kind of magic can only exist in the
A augmentedA
mothballs of memory
   C# minorC#m
and your eyes roll at me like
  BB
"go tell it to your family dog"

Chorus:

A augmentedA
Cause Boomer you’re my last good friend
    E MajorE          BB
I can tell you can tell I'm leaving again
A augmentedA
Just hang in there a few more months
 E MajorE         BB
I swear I'll make it worth it for you
C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
A majorA belly rub to end all the pain
   E MajorE          BB
now close your eyes, if this is goodbye
A augmentedA      BB
just know I love you.

E MajorE
