[Intro]
D , C9 (x5)

[Verse 1]
D      C9  D        C9
You're in an  all-girl band
D     C9    D    C9
Your futon's second hand
D     C9   D   C9      D         C9     D  C9  A74 D
Your parents understand, but you don't care
D  C9  D       C9
I have a job in a shop
D      C9  D     C9
I'm an under  cover cop
D      C9      D    C9        D   C9   D   C9
I make sure the customers aren't thieves

[Pre-Chorus]
A             Em
Old at being young
A              Em
Young at being old
A               Em
Everything's on hold within our evolution

[Chorus]
D      F7M   Em             A74    A7
You're my    alternative girlfriend
  D    F7M       Em         A74    A7
I love you and now you cannot pretend
Bm                                          G
      There's nothing left that won't cross over

[Verse 2]
Last night we slept on the lawn
You woke up and I was gone
Back to the dream I dream to leave
My life with her is a bore
A worn-out metaphor
No more surprises up its sleeve

[Pre-Chorus]
We're old at being young, young at being old
Everything's been sold to others' revolutions

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
    D                          C9  G
You live above your dad's four-car garage
          D                   C9  G
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
     D                    C9    G
If I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
          D                               C9    F7M
So we can get out of this town, 'cause it makes me sick

[Chorus]
