[Bbm]
[Eb] [C] [C]
[Am] [E] [C]
[Eb] Destination Earth.
I just had to get a closer look at one of those Earthmobiles.
[Abm] What's that, Kron?
[Dbm] Watch all the [C] wreckage!
[Am]
[C] [F] [G]
I don't know how to sing.
I can barely play [D] this thing.
But you never seem to mind.
And you tell me to [C] fuck off when I need somebody to.
How you make me laugh [G] so hard.
How old years refuse to stay.
Where we told them to [D] back off.
Like whining in a word.
Or a misplaced [C] souvenir.
How they passed shoes on your shoes.
And these memories lick [G] my ear.
[D] I [B] know you [C] might roll your eyes [G] and piss.
[D] But I'm [B] so glad [C] that you [G] exist.
How we waste our precious time.
Marching in the picket [D] lines.
That surround the striking hearts.
And the time is never [C] now.
And we know who we should love.
But we're never certain.
[G] [D] I [B] know you might [C] roll your eyes [G] and piss.
[D] But I'm [B] so glad [C] that you exist.
[G] I [D]
[B] know you [C] might roll your eyes [G] and piss.
[D] But I'm [B] so glad [C] that you exist.
[G]
I [B] know you might [C] roll your [G] eyes and piss.
[D] But I'm [B] so glad that [C] you exist.
