While we're on the subject, could we change the subject now?
I [G] was knocking on your ears, don't you?
You were always [D] out, looking toward the future.
You were begging for the past.
Well, [G] we know we had the good things, but those never seemed to [D] last.
Oh, please just last. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Everyone's unhappy.
_ Everyone's ashamed.
Well, [G] we all just got caught looking at somebody else's page.
[D] Well, nothing ever went quite exactly as we planned.
[G] Our ideas had no water, but we used them like a dam.
[D] _
Oh, [A] and we carried it all so [G] well.
_ Ever since we got a new [D] position, oh, [A] and I, and I fall away to [G] hell.
I say yes to the fine [D] promotion, oh, _ [A] and I fall away to [G] _ hell.
_ _ _ [D] Of course, everyone goes crazy over us.
We're such and such a savage.
[G] We made ourselves a pillar.
We just used it as a crutch.
[D] We were certainly uncertain, at least I'm pretty sure I am.
[G] Well, we didn't need the water, but we just built that good [D] god damn.
Oh, [A] and I know this of [G]
myself.
_ _ I've seen as much for other [D] people, oh, and [A] I know this of _
[G] myself.
_ We've listened all our lives to [D] say, oh, man, [A] the sound of life's [G] sweetest bands.
_ _ _ _ [D] _

Was it [D] ever worth it?
Was there all that much to gain?
Well, we knew we'd miss the boat, and we'd already missed the plane.
We didn't read the invite.
We just danced it all awake.
All our [Gm] favorites were playing, so we could shake, shake, shake, shake, [D] shake.
We put our little tiny curtains up, and then we heard the tiny clap of little hands of [G] tiny.
Now we'll tell a little joke, and we'll get a tiny laugh from all the posts.
[D] Drifting around on bubble fins, thinking it was us that carried them.
[G] When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the [D] boat.
Oh, and [A] we carried it off [G] somewhere.
_ _ As if we got a new [D] position, oh, and [A] we owned all the tools.
[G] We'll lose ourselves _ without the skill to make a [D] show with them.
[A] One news, let's lose ourselves.
