C   G    Em    D
[Verse]
Guess what I'm Cdone writing you Gsongs
You'll give up your Emjob at the bank
Proving mDoney's not fun when you're Cgone
So this is the fGirst verse
It's Amnot very long but I'm Dready to move on
[Verse]
Guess what I'm done writing your book
The ending got twisted around
But for all of the hell that it took
The electrical wires
They hum in the walls of the room that I rent now, without you
[Chorus]
I've got Cfriends who (la la la liGe)
Will help me Empull through (la la la Dlie la la la lie)
CThe space man that cGan't get high
AmI'm coming back to my gDirl by July
[Instrumental]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
C     G     Em     D
[Verse]
Guess what I'm done drawing you pictures
I'm dulling the day with a drink
In a parking garage by the theater
We met for a movie
Every scene was a sign, we made out through their meaning
[Verse]
Well I've got friends who (la la la lie)
Will help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)
The space man that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Interlude]
C     G      Em     D
C     G      Am     D
[Verse]
Guess what I'm Cdone writing you sGongs
Far to unsEmtable to settle
I dDoubt that my doctor's are Cwrong
So I'll wait by a Gpalm tree, a Ampalm tree, a Dpalm tree
[Verse]
Well, I've got friends (la la la lie)
To help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)
The space man that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
I've got friends who (la la la lie)
To help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)
CThis song for a Glong good-bye
AmI'm coming back
DI'm coming back to my CgirlG  
Back to my Amgirl (la la la Dlie la la la lie)
CThis song for a Glong good-bye
AmI'm coming back to my giDrl by July
