EJuGliAan Amis gonna take my EfiGleAsAm  
CEvery woman that I’ve slept with,

Cdidn’t call when grandma died,

CI’ve done things unprotected,
Aproceeded to drAmive home wasted,
Cbought things to win over siblings -

proceeded to drive home wasted,

bought things to win over siblings -

Julian, he’s gonna take my files

Telling people jokes to shut them up,

A Am

resenting people that I love,

sleep in til two then doing shit,

A Am

just stay in bed and later lie about it,

obsessing over graying hair,

A Am

knowing just what people wanna hear,

binging on unearned attention -

A Am C

I’ve said awful things, such awful things

A Am C

and now, now it’s out

There!

seven in the morning, seven in the morning

I came by at seven in the morning

said something dumb like I’m tired of running

A Am

tired of running, tired of running

Let’s put a baby in the oven -

A Am

wouldn’t I make the ideal husband?

E G A Am
