[Verse 1]
  FI thought of going in the lake and swallowCing
Thought that I had unplugged the phone until it rangDm  
When the phases of the moC/Eon they don't applyDm  
When accomplishing a C/Esimple task takes several triesF  
[Chorus 1]
FDid you want to forget about life?
Did you want to forget about life with me toCnight?
Underneath this Fflickering light
Did you want to forget about life with me tonCight?
[Verse 2]
  FLeft the apartment in a state of disarraCy
Tried out the synthesizer you bought yesterdayDm  
When the failures of the pasC/Et they multiplyDm  
And you trivialize the C/Ethings that keep your hand from miFne
[Chorus 2]
FDid you want to forget about life?
Did you want to forget about life with me toCnight?
Under condoF/Cminium signs
Did you want to forBbget about life with me tonCight?
