[Em]
[C]
[G] [F#] [F] [Am]
[Fm] [G]
[C] I won't [Em] be connected or [Am] be easily [Em] inflected by [F] the growing sense of [C] self-inflected [Fm] routine
in our [G] day.
[C] Being that long [Em] struggle in [Am] a metaphoric [Em] housing bubble,
[F] maybe find a way to [C] pass the hour, [Fm] make some happy [G] enter in.
[Dm] A cannon and a can of [C] cold, cold, bingo,
[F] reminders of a day you [G] went away.
[Dm]
Remember at your worst [E] when you [Em] were single,
[F] at your best you seem to have had a [Fm] better day.
[G]
[Am] There's not much [Em] for you this summer,
[Am] I guess you'll be a local [Em]
bummer.
[F] Maybe find a [C] job that won't take [Fm] a genius not [G] to do.
[Em] [C]
You might get [Em] arrested, [Am] have your breath in your blood [Em] tested,
[F] and be back out [C] on the street [Fm] before your pension [G] starts to cool.
[Dm] Months and weeks have passed [C] into a year,
[F] your life has changed in some [G] estrionic way.
[Dm] Sentence passed as paraphrased [Em] every year,
[F] and you pick up trash and rag,
[Fm] beside the [G]
motorway.
[C] [G] [C]
[G] I used to know [Em] your girlfriend,
[Am] back when you used to have a [Em] girlfriend.
[Am]
She was nice and [C] you were not,
[G] [A] [Fm] but I was the big prick back [G] then too.
[C] Now she's had [Em] another baby,
[A] and her life has [C] gone
[G] suburban.
[B] [F] And I wonder [Am] what [C] she thinks of,
when she thinks [Fm] back now of you.
[G] [Dm]
Been better times for those that are in [C] trouble,
[Em] [F]
maybe there'll be some better [G] times for you.
[C] [Dm]
The weight you've gained has made your [Em] head a bubble,
[F] and your buttocks are brown,
and [Fm] not her [G] black and blue.
[C] Well no doubt [Em] I'll see you later,
[G] [Am] you'll have your reasons, [Em] you still hate her.
[C] But my friend, it says there is a change,
[F] that's been coming [G] over you.
[C]
And I'll admit there is [G] a difference,
[Em] and [Am] I'll submit that this [Em] is sure,
[F] and I guess this [C] isn't how,
when things [Fm] seem better than they were.
