ESorry about the centerpiece, Athanks for understanding
ESoft salesmen, hard branding. CampBari commissions.
I was sEitting in the kitchen trying to Aguess where she was living now
EHotel room in Houston with the Bshades against the sunshine
Or mEaybe still in Scranton like it's A1999
When I sEaw her rolling through with the EntBitlement Crew
I wEasn't all that into it but there was nAothing I could do about it

I Elike the party favors but I Ahate the party people
Got distrEacted by the chorus when the Bkids all sang along
EMoved to the rogue set. AI always really liked that song.
[Pre-Chorus]
You lEike that song too. I E/D#know that you do.
I saw you C#mmouthing all the words when you Bdidn't know I was watching you
AEverything is brittle and is Bbreaking apart
Your Esister's in Seattle and she's Asleeping with the sharks
   AI remember you, still, pBlaying his part
[Chorus]
  EThanks for listening, Athanks for understanding
  ECan't you see how I Afeel I've been abandoned?
