[Verse]
G
Spending Friday night alone
D
I'm reading Campus frat boy porn
Cadd9
Strewn on the table
G
For my roommate
D
When he finally gets home
Cadd9 G
But just one night ago, three flights ago
D
I'm back in Michigan
Cadd9 G
Another trip I won't remember
D
Or appreciate much when I'm dead
[Break]
Em C G
(x2)
[Verse]
G
And the hotel where I slept that night
D
Was surely haunted, then
Cadd9 Cmaj7
Because every hour I woke up feeling
D
So watched and wanted
G
And I think I remember that from when we met
D
Which feels so insignificant
Cadd9
Or maybe odd now to admit
D
It's all in retrospect
[Break]
Em C G
(x2)
[Verse]
G C/B
And so I spent the winter bundled up
D
Pretending I was sane and giving up
Cadd9 C/B
The things I love the most
D
Because they felt like pain
Cadd9
And it's so obvious
C/B
This jaded bunch
D
We don't believe in ghosts and such
Cadd9 C/B
We watch the hunt incredulous
D
But cannot look away
[Chorus]
Em G
And you looked at me
G G/F# D
Like I was a piece of meat
Em Cadd9
So I was a piece of meat
G G/F# D
For a time
[Verse]
Cadd9 C/B D
But you were a vegetarian, so I became a vegetarian
Cadd9 C/B D
Then when you started eating meat, I also started eating meat
Cadd9 C/B
And I lied to all my friends
D
Said I was happy when I wasn't
Cadd9 C/B
And you lied to all your selves
D
Said I could give you what you wanted
Cadd9 C/B D
But it all feels so much bigger than some blame-filled lonely break up
Cadd9 C/B D
like all our narratives and mortality only distill to
[Outro]
Em Cadd9 G
Oh my god, we're gonna die
Em Cadd9 G
We're gonna die and maybe it's gonna be alone
Em Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G
We're gonna die and maybe it's gonna be alone and no one will find the things we left behind
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Because, because we
Cadd9 D G
Because we never thought to leave a fucking archive
