[Intro]
 Gm   Dm   Bb(2x)
[Verse 1]
    GmYou said that DmI should get a Bbclue
    BbWell I did, I did, I did, I did
    GmAnd it was to Dmrid my heart of Bbyou
    BbSo I did, I did, I did, I did
    GmExactly what you Dmsaid I should Bbdo
    I played the sleuth and I found a clue
    GmAnd I still can't stoDmp thinking about Bbyou
[Verse 2]
    That standard procedure
    GmYou knowDm, you know, you Bbknow me
    So fuck with my heart at your leisure
    GmThat's how it Dmgoes, it's been going Bblately
    BbSaid I was the Gmbest simultaneously the Dmworst
    And best case Bbscenario, I should be cursed
    For the rest of my GmlifeDm, for the rest of my Bblife
    Well, I feel like I Gmam cause I will never Dmhave you by my Bbside
[Verse 3]
    So stay Gmwarm in that Dmflannel
    That BbI left on your bed
    There was no way in Gmhell I could put it on Dmafter that
    Cause we werBbe both soaking wet
    And I apoloGmgize if from time to Dmtime
    This Bbmakes you think of me
    Just imagine Gmseeing that stupid Dmshirt
    Every Bbtime you fucking breathe
    That's how it feels to be GmmeDm  Bb  
Gm Dm Bb
    Bb(Spoken)
N.C.
    You have proven to be more of a maze
    Than construction season in the Heritage Hill one-ways
    For someone who's not from Grand Rapids on their very first days
    But me, I paid attention on my late night skates
N.C.
    And when I was driving around in my van and how my best friend,
    Who lived here his whole life,
    Told me I know the city better than him
    He said "Ty, it's like the back of your hand."
N.C.
    I said "Alec, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for the backbone of a man."
    I had to change my way home from work cause I couldn't even stand to
    Drive by her, and see her on her front lawn, with her bikini on getting a tan
    Cause, here's the thing
N.C.
    I don't need Fountain or Union Street
    For anything except Martha's Vineyard and the bakery so
    I'll just take the back of Michigan Hill down
    East, turn around and follow Lion all the way there cause this is what I found
N.C.
    Life, may or may not be about finding true love
    But, it's certainly not about begging for it from someone so
    I'll keep doing the things that I do
    Late nights, fat blunts, pizza pies with my crew
N.C.
    Driving home from whatever bar's half-off after two
    While I'm blasting my favorite tunes and
    Seeing my favorite local bands at whatever venues
    While you keep doing the things that you do, shifting blame, and twisting truth
N.C.
    And making absolutely positively sure that everybody in the room is certain
    That the victim just had to be you, well
[Outro]
    GmI'll Dmkeep doing tBbhe things that I do
    And I'll Gmfind soDmmeone whBbo wants me like I wanted GmyouDm  Bb  
    So sing Bbalong at a show this weekeGmndDm  Bb  
    Act a Bbfool, get drunk with these BbfriendsGm, tDmhat Bbyou love
    Someone Bbsomewhere said all good things endGm  Dm  Bb

[Intro]

Gm Dm Bb

(2x)

[Verse 1]

Gm Dm Bb

You said that I should get a clue

Well I did, I did, I did, I did

Gm Dm Bb

And it was to rid my heart of you

So I did, I did, I did, I did

Gm Dm Bb

Exactly what you said I should do

I played the sleuth and I found a clue

Gm Dm Bb

And I still can't stop thinking about you

[Verse 2]

That standard procedure

Gm Dm Bb

You know, you know, you know me

So fuck with my heart at your leisure

Gm Dm Bb

That's how it goes, it's been going lately

Bb Gm Dm

Said I was the best simultaneously the worst

And best case scenario, I should be cursed

Gm Dm Bb

For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life

Gm Dm Bb

Well, I feel like I am cause I will never have you by my side

[Verse 3]

Gm Dm

So stay warm in that flannel

That I left on your bed

Gm Dm

There was no way in hell I could put it on after that

Cause we were both soaking wet

Gm Dm

And I apologize if from time to time

This makes you think of me

Gm Dm

Just imagine seeing that stupid shirt

Every time you fucking breathe

Gm Dm Bb

That's how it feels to be me

Gm Dm Bb

(Spoken)

N.C.

You have proven to be more of a maze

Than construction season in the Heritage Hill one-ways

For someone who's not from Grand Rapids on their very first days

But me, I paid attention on my late night skates

N.C.

And when I was driving around in my van and how my best friend,

Who lived here his whole life,

Told me I know the city better than him

He said "Ty, it's like the back of your hand."

N.C.

I said "Alec, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for the backbone of a man."

I had to change my way home from work cause I couldn't even stand to

For anything except Martha's Vineyard and the bakery so

I'll just take the back of Michigan Hill down

While you keep doing the things that you do, shifting blame, and twisting truth

N.C.

And making absolutely positively sure that everybody in the room is certain

That the victim just had to be you, well

[Outro]

Gm Dm Bb

I'll keep doing the things that I do

Gm Dm Bb Gm Dm Bb

And I'll find someone who wants me like I wanted you

Bb Gm Dm Bb

So sing along at a show this weekend

Bb Bb Gm Dm Bb

Act a fool, get drunk with these friends, that you love

Bb Gm Dm Bb

Someone somewhere said all good things end

Bb Gm Dm Bb

So what in my mind made me think this time would be different
