Verse:
E F#m A A G#m E
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
E F#m G#m A A G#m E
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
E F#m G#m A A G#m
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
F#m A E
For reasons wretched and divine
E F#m A A G#m E
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild
E F#m G#m A A G#m E
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
E F#m G#m A A G#m
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
F#m A E
And lord she found me just in time

I need to be youthfully felt ’cause god I never felt young
Chorus:
E F#m A A G#m E
She’s gonna save me call me ‘baby’ run her hands through my hair
E F#m G#m A A G#m
She’ll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn’t care
C#m B G#m A A G#m E
We’ll steal a Lexus be detectives ride ’round picking up clues

We’ll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise ’em
on rhythm and blues
Verse:
E F#m A A G#m E
Lord it’d be great to find a place we could escape sometime
E F#m G#m A A G#m E
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
E F#m G#m A A G#m
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
F#m A E
Sit back and watch the world Go by

C#m G#m A
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust

We tried the world good god it wasn’t for us

Verse:
E F#m A A G#m E
Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
E F#m G#m A A G#m E
Lookin’ up from a cigarette and she’s already left
E F#m G#m A A G#m
I start diggin’ up the yard for what’s left of me
and our little vignette
F#m A E
For whatever poor soul is coming next
