Standard tuning

Capo on 2nd fret, with the low E string left open


[Intro]
D5 , C5 (x5)

[Verse 1]
D5      C5  D5        C5
You're in an  all-girl band
D5     C5    D5    C5
Your futon's second hand
D5     C5   D5   C5      D5         C5     D5  C5  A5 D5
Your parents understand, but you don't care
D5  C5  D5       C5
I have a job in a shop
D5      C5  D5     C5
I'm an under  cover cop
D5      C5      D5    C5        D5   C5   D5   C5
I make sure the customers aren't thieves

[Pre-Chorus]
A5             E5
Old at being young
A5              E5
Young at being old
A5               E5
Everything's on hold within our evolution

[Chorus]
D5      F5   E5             A5    A5
You're my    alternative girlfriend
  D5    F5       E5         A5    A5
I love you and now you cannot pretend
B5                                          G5
      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]
    D5                          C5  G5
You live above your dad's four-car garage
          D5                   C5  G5
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
     D5                    C5    G5
If I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
          D5                               C5    F5
So we can get out of this town, 'cause it makes me sick

[Chorus]
