Salutations to [B] whom it may concern
[Em] The litter box has overflowed
[C] The frozen dinner [D] burned
[G] Oh, running low on wine, my man
Could [B] you please swing by the store?
[Em] My TV's just reality
[C] And I can't watch no more
[G] There's a shining diamond somewhere
[B] Where a kid is striking out
[Em] His dad is in the dugout
[C] He's foaming at the mouth
[G] A stomach's turning sour
Inside [B] of a disappointed scowl
[Em] Yeah, he thought he'd found the real deal
[C] But now he's scarred [D] as dust
[Am] So sober before it [B] began
But [Em] I could nurse you in the triage
[C] I could stick you with some [D] pins
But [Am] it's hopeless, these rules make [B] no sense
First [Em] they say we can't be [G#] lovers
[C] And now they say we can't [D] be friends

[Am] [G]
Ruminations, [B] this medicine don't work
[Em] Had that same thought ten thousand times
[C] It's only getting [D] worse, swore off [G] temptation
But what if [B] it's what I really wanna do?
[Em] How could I apologize [C] for telling you [D] the truth?
[G] There's a burnout light bulb above my head
[B] It's storing my ideas
[Em] There's a yearbook on the bookshelf
[C] That can't explain [D] the years
[G] Well, I never should have signed it
But [B] you know summer's coming soon
[Em] When I almost drowned, you gave me mouth-to-mouth
[C] Beside your neighbor's [D] poor, ever [Am] sober
Before it [B] began
You [Em] could've left me in the water
But you made me live [D] again
And I'm [Am] sorry [E] I can't pay [B] you back
I [Em] wanna hold you till the [C#] world dissolves
But [C] we just can't get [D] attached
