C (x32010@1)You're like a constant crowding consonant
EmI'm (022000@1)a claustrophobic; I, I said
DmWe're (xx0231@1)as comfortable as wool warming naked indifference
GThank (320003@1)God your words have come to rescue me from my sentence
CYou're (x32010@1)like a two stepping tongue on a flesh dance floor
EmYou're (022000@1)the eulogy I can't avoid anymore
DmThat (xx0231@1)tumor in my side celebrating malignance:
G"Surprise! (320003@1)I'm moving in; I think I've grown on your parents"
*Riff*
You want to talk about all the feeling I'm feeling
*Riff continued*
I'm a passed out priest in an AA meeting
CAnd (x32010@1)they're checking my pulse, trying to make a decision
CI've (x32010@1)got those rolled back eyes but nothing's clouding my vision
DmYou're (xx0231@1)like a knock at the door in the middle of dinner
GFrom (320003@1)the friendly registered sex offender
CAll (x32010@1)equipped with a mustache and a windowless van
Dm (xx0231@1)
You're telling me how much you've changed
GI'm (320003@1)trying to hide the crayons and no you can't come in
CI'm (x32010@1)like your neighbor's hands on your father's throat:
Em"Sweetie, (022000@1)you go back inside, see this is just for adults"
DmSo (xx0231@1)adult is what we'll be, domestic violence in denim
GEach (320003@1)tumble down the stairs appeals your puff paint addendum
CYou (x32010@1)say I'm your backpack caught on a chain link fence
EmBut (022000@1)dear I'm a thank you card in the future tense
DmI'm (xx0231@1)jumping out of cakes serving divorce papers
GI'd (320003@1)say I love you too but I'm all out of favors
*Riff*
You want to talk about all the feelings I'm feeling
*Riff continued*
Like your chalkboard wrists but I don't tally the meaning
CYou (x32010@1)keep forgetting the plot, let alone the long sleeps
CMy (x32010@1)eyes, they only know three words and each is pronounced "Please!?"
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I would walk you home if I could find my crutches
GProbably (320003@1)listen more if you didn't talk so much
CWhy (x32010@1)don't you show yourself out
Dm (xx0231@1) G (320003@1)
How can you cry now, this whole thing's been such a drought! Alright!
DmLa-dee-da-dee-da (xx0231@1)La-dee-da-dee-dee-da-da
GLa-dee-da-dee-da (320003@1)La-dee-da-dee-da (Repeat X4)
Dm (xx0231@1)
You want to talk about all the feelings I'm feeling
GYou're (320003@1)a phone call home after eight long seasons
DmThere's (xx0231@1)a mail order bride and a baby that's teething
GSaid (320003@1)the smog, it hurts your eyes, so on the next train you're leaving
CI'm (x32010@1)not certain it's the smog, more just the constant grieving
CBut (x32010@1)first you're dropping off the kid, sticking me with the feeding
DmI (xx0231@1)said, oh God damn it you're so mean
GYou (320003@1)say I'll lose the Christian crowd if I say things like these
CBut (x32010@1)I've already lost them, I couldn't care less
DmI (xx0231@1)guess my path, it just got wide, so I'll just wish you all my narrow best
GI (320003@1)guess that's it
Outro:
C Em D# Dm G (Repeat, end on C)
