[Verse] (Play riff)

just to start this off,

this isn’t the start of anything,

just a song that I can sing to you

we’re standing in a graveyard,

a presumably dead arm

popped through the grass,

and who doesn’t talk about that

honey, you are nothing to me

alcohol and dopamine

I’m dying on the sofa

and I barely know the time

like an old man, say I reckon,

I love you for a millisecond,

but I don’t wear a watch or Rolex

and my brain’s a toddler

[Hook] (This is also fingerpicking but it works fine just strummed)

roller skating down a hill,

I took a spill and ran into a

G Em

tree and suffered minor injuries

honey, you are nothing to me,

D G

I don’t call people anything thought to be so sweet

[Verse] (Play riff)

but I’m just being bitchy,

cause nearly everyone skipped over me

on our twilight hour meet and greet,

one coffee table theater scene,

C Cm

disregard the soaring chick back there in corner three, I’d rather let the poor kid sleep

but he’s tripping balls, he’s tripping testes,

LSD, post- wisdom teeth,

C Cm

he got lost in the shower and he barely knows the hour

I wanna know your passwords

Without changing them in preferences

C Cm

and all the childhood streets and deceased pets that they're referencing

[Hook]

and in the box I’ll type,

I’ll know all the numbers to try,

G Em

I wanna know the lyrics that you think of when you’re high

C D

cause I’m in love with strangers who I’ve never even seen

Bm Em

in love with weird cut bangs and sweaters swaying kind of awkwardly

C D

I’m in love with fresh air friends from overheated houses

Bm Em

till I uber up a giant park and dump my body in my dorm bed

honey, you are nothing to me,

D Bm Em

I don’t call people anything that’s thought to be so sweet

C D G

the speech is coming back with a vengeance it seems

[Verse]

and all these pretend spouses are a happy storybook,

C D

that’ll turn to stark non-fiction in the time it took

for me to notice that I’m old, which means I’ll be 30 and happy

C D

likely married to personified business casual khakis

[Hook]

Am D

and I’ll forget about it when I wake up late and stupid

Bm Em

I tried to tell the uber driver till he tried to hit it

C D

I tried to tell myself because I’ve come this far along

Bm Em

carrying my zombie arm to the 14th grade prom

C D Bm Em

honey you are nothing to me I don’t call people anything that’s thought to be so sweet

C D G Em

the speech is coming back with a vengeance it seems

C D G

the speech is coming back with a vengeance it seems
