Capo 1
Intro: C Dm F (C/E)
[(C/E)]
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes[(C/E)]
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight[(C/E)]
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine[(C/E)]
For reasons wretched and divine
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild[(C/E)]
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise[(C/E)]
No other version of me I would rather be tonight[(C/E)]
And lord she found me just in time
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt ’cause god I never felt young
She’s gonna save me call me ‘baby’ run her hands through my hai[(C/E)]r
She’ll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn’t car[(C/E)]e
We’ll steal a Lexus be detectives ride ’round picking up clues[(C/E)]
We’ll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise ’em on rhythm and blues
Lord it’d be great to find a place we could escape someti[(C/E)]me
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine[(C/E)]
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside[(C/E)]
Sit back and watch the world go by
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
We tried the world good god it wasn’t for us
(chorus)
Instrumental:
[Em-F] [Em-F]
[Em-F] [Em-F]
[Em-F] [Em-F]
Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset[(C/E)]
Lookin’ up from a cigarette and she’s already lef[(C/E)]t
I start diggin’ up the yard for what’s left of me and our little vignette[(C/E)]
For whatever poor soul is coming next
(chorus)
