Intro:  A  
Verse 1: 
ARight before I met you things were getting pretty green
AI was on an upswing though I could hardly even think
AI was looking F#mout, looking GoutA  
AWell it took me several mornings with my throat in a mangled knot
ASounding out my virtues and my vices and other thoughts
AStruggling to remember the most recent things that I forgot
AWell I was looking F#mout, looking GoutA, looking F#mout, looking GoutA  
Chorus 1: 
When you're GalwaDys Aon you feel Ddefeated so your gAuardians have lost
In a fGoreDign tAown, you could hDear that singing it Awouldn't wake up a sound
When you hGear that singinFg it wouldn't wake up a sAound
Verse 2:
ACarbon copy portraits in a box that I was shufflin' through
AStuffed with paper memories that are only partly true
AWell I've been gettin' a feelin' about someone a lot like you
Looking F#mout, looking Gout ALooking F#mout, looking oGutA  
AWhen there's classic meltdowns and devastating rain
AHurried up for waiting more times than I care to say
AWell it's clear to us now it's starting to change
Moving F#mon, moving Gon Amoving forF#mward Moving GonA  
Chorus 2: 
When you're GalwaDys Aon you feel Ddefeated so your gAuardians have lost
In a fGoreDign tAown, you could hDear that singing it Awouldn't wake up a sound
You could heGar that singing Fit wouldn't wake up a soAund
