[Gm] [C]
[G] [C] I can't hold money for everything I ever wanted
Attached above for everything I ever [Gm] wanted [C] and lost
[Gm] And I [C] had a long list of names that I kept in [Bb] my back [Fm] pocket
[Gm] [C] But I put it down to one, your name's at the top
[F] Won't [Eb] you share [D] a common [C] disaster
[Eb] Share it [Dm] with me, a common [Fm] disaster
A [D] [Eb] common [Gm] [C] disaster
I found myself a friend but his crooked eyes are sticking water
So now I'm writing fairy tales to [Gm] whisper [C] it around
He's [Bb] [C] got plans to steal my [Bb] little sister
[C]
But I'm not taking the sun cause I'll get him in the end
[F] Won't you [Eb] share a [C] common disaster
Share [Eb] it [D] with me, a [Bb] common disaster
[F]
A [D]
[Eb] [Gm] common [C] disaster
[Bb] [C]
[Ab] [Cm] [F]
[Cm] [Dm]
[G] [Cm] [Dm]
[F] [Eb]
I'm [Dm] [C] gonna find someone to share a common disaster
Run away with me from my life's cramped in bed
Not [Bb] to worry too much about the happy ever after
[Fm]
And [Bb] [C] just keep the catamaran to a well beyond that hill
[F] [Eb] Won't you share a [A] common [C] disaster
Share [Eb] [Dm] it with me, a common [Fm] disaster
[D] A [Eb] common
[C] disaster
