[Verse 1]
Bm..............D......................A  
They’re gonna send us to prison for jerks
Bm....................D...................A..................
For having vague ideas of the way to turn each other on again
Bm..............D......................A  
They’re gonna send us to prison for jerks
[Chorus 1]
..................D.....................Bm........
They’ll find us here here here in the guest room
..................G.....................Em9.......
Where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my
[Verse 2]
Bm..............D.......A....................
We miss being ruffians, going wild and bright
Bm......................D....
In the corners of front yards

Getting in and out of cars
Bm............D.........A  
We miss being deviants
[Chorus 2]
..................D.....................Bm........
They’ll find us here here here in the guest room

Where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my

We can’t stay here, We’re starting to stay the same

We can’t stay here, We can’t stay this way

Just tie your woman to your wrist, give her room to tie the other
