Though it took him 'til he was sixty-three
        F                                         G                                 Am, F, G
And nobody cared about the Goddamned inquiry
         C
And Daga stayed on the farm
                    Em
Though he found no cause for alarm
               F                                    G                               Am, F, G
It was a hell of a swim but he still had two good arms

C                         F
Gorillas are for eating
                                   Dm
Don't you know it's true
                               G
I fell in love with you
                                           Am
And don't you think it's sad
                            F
'Cause here we both stand
                                                   G
Amidst the wreckage of our past

              C
And I'll spend the day with you
         Em
We'll meet at your house after two
                    F                            G                        Am, F, G
You're the most exhausting girl I ever knew
                          C
And when you let me leave I'll go
      Em
I'll let you get back to your phone
        F                                              G                                Am, F, G
You mean well, Mel, but you're all talk and no show

C                                       F
Pick you lips 'til they're bleeding
                               Dm
Don't you know I fell
                                             G
The lair of the queer devil
                                  Am
Is deeper than you thought
                                          F
The computer's still on
                                    G
And the webpage is alt.com

C        G                  F                           G
And I hope you'll come back soon
C        G                  F                                   G                            C
And I feel like a million bucks today, a million bucks today
C            G                   F             G 
'Cause I know it can only go up from here
F                   G                                                  C
'Cause she says it's so much better after all

C
After all we been through
Em
I can't get my mind off of you
          F                          G                                           Am, F, G
It's a hell of a way to spend the whole day through
                C        
And you left your name on the bar
        Em
You hopped your little brown car
        F                                                       G
You moved in with Gramps and you got yourself a job

C                                       F
And the room is slowly sinking
                                    Dm
But I can play guitar
        G
And Morgan you're so far
                           Am
Away from me tonight
                                       F
And I'll try to make it right
                               G
By putting you in this here song

C
Oh yeah
E
Okay
        Dm
Okay wait
G                    C
Oh my God, Blake
                             F
That's what she said
G
In bed

We watched him at 4:53
               F                              G                                    C
And I'm glad you chose to spend the night with me

What a great song. Don't you just feel all gooey?
