Verse 1

C Scared of everything Everything's on blast Am Never travel light I carry the past Am/E In an armored car That's my skeleton C/G Worship one idea Like a superfan C In a gallery With a slanted view Am There's a book signing Dystopian haikus Am/E As they're read out loud Under Edison lights C/G Makes me scratch my head C And think of simpler times

Chorus 1

F5/G* G5/A* C/F# Borrowed a car for the day F5/G* G5/A* Am G C/G We drove it out to The Rock a ways Am/E And you went swimming Am/E I watched you swimming (*Riff) C

Verse 2

C I'm made of money now There's nothing I want Am Except expensive wine To watch the rocket launch Am/E We'll climb up on the roof And sit in plastic chairs C/G Watch it accelerate Until it disappears C Just like your goodbye voice Trailing off down the hall Am I love you, baby I'll be back in one hour Am/E You'll try and smile then Sometimes it doesn't stick C/G I'll help you tune it out C I'll help you reminisce

Bridge

Em/F# Don't feel badly F5/G* I'm barely angry G5/A* C/G It's not too much to contain Em/F# Always knew that F5/G* It'd probably happen G5/A* C/G C We'd put these memories to shame
