"My Greatest Invention”
[Into]
Dm G Dm G x2
[Verse 1]
A D
I wonder where you are right now
F#m A
I guess I always do
Bm F#m
People mention you all the time
B D
Without me asking them to
A D
I take the dirt they give me
F#m A
I put it in the books
Bm F#m
I smear around the memories
B D
Until I like how it looks
Bm F#m
I get a taste for everything
Bm E
Then I swallow the hook
[Chorus]
A D
You were the life of the party
Bm E
Even when you didn't attend
A D
I would get lost telling stories
Bm E
But I'd always have to change up the end
D A
I'd complete the collection
Bm A
Of my favorite reflections
D C#m
With an all out rejection
C# F#m E Dm G
Of our true imperfections
A
You were my greatest invention
[Verse 2]
A D
It's getting hard to keep in order
F#m A
My different versions of you
Bm F#m
Which one's just an answer to a question?
B D
Which one is actually true?
A D
You can turn a second inside out
F#m A
And end up with an eternity
Bm F#m
But to polish up a diamond
B D
You have to clear some debris
Bm F#m
It doesn't work for everyone
Bm E
But it works for me
[Chorus]
A D
You were the life of the party
Bm E
Even when you didn't attend
A D
I would get lost telling stories
Bm E
But I'd always have to change up the end
D A
I'd complete the collection
Bm A
Of my favorite reflections
D C#m
With an all out rejection
C# F#m E Dm G
Of our true imperfections
A
You were my greatest invention
[Chorus]
A D
You were the life of the party
Bm E
Even when you didn't attend
A D
I would get lost telling stories
Bm E
But I'd always have to change up the end
D A
I'd complete the collection
Bm A
Of my favorite reflections
D C#m
With an all out rejection
C# F#m E Dm G
Of our true imperfections
A Dm G
You were my greatest invention
A Dm G
You were my greatest invention
A D
I wonder where you are right now
F#m E A
I guess I always do
