[Chorus]
A A A D F#m
We can't afford your depression anymore
A A A D F#m F#
We can't afford this depression anymore
D A Am
Every minute that we spend
Am Em D
There is something to break down for
E
So just change key
D
Keep your mind on me
E
You've got a lot to live for
Em
You've got a lot to go for
[Verse]
A D
We can share a room, share a bed, save rent as cellmates
A D
You'd think it was a crime to be alive (that's your depression talking)
A A
We're living in squalor
D D
That's the name of this house
A A
This house is called squalor by all
A A
There's a door broken somewhere but I never can remember quite where
[Chorus]
A A A D F#m
We can't afford our depression anymore
A A A D F#m F#
We can't afford this depression anymore
D A Am
How can we ever make a living?
Am Em D
Our job is trying not to die
E
So just change key
D
Keep your mind on me
E
You've got a lot to live for
Em
You've got a lot to go for
[Verse]
A D
We'd be starving artists if we were artists
A D
But we won't let ourselves become the art (no we'll never sink that low)
A A
Remember when we made jokes?
D D
Now we're too poor for laughter
A A
No, fuck it, we're too poor to be serious
A A
So make me laugh again
[Chorus]
A A A D F#m
We can't afford our depression anymore
A A A D F#m F#
We can't afford this depression anymore
D A Am
Every minute someone else
Am Em D
Is having a better time than us babe
E
So just change key
D
Keep your mind on me
E
You've got a lot to live for
Em
You've got a lot to go for
[Break]
A A D D F#m F#m
[Bridge]
A A A D F#m
I've seen some things that I won't forget
A A A D F#m
Ashtray carpets and starving pets
A A A D F#m
If it's out of our hands then we'd better regret
A A A D F#m
We spent the rest on cigarettes
[Outro]
A A D F#m
A A D F#m
I don't know how to make you happy
A A D F#m
I don't know how to make you happy
