"A few years ago, I used to make up stupid portmanteaus at a dishwashing job, because it’s such mindless work
and little games like that help the day go by faster. I came up with lots of really dumb ones, mostly weed
related—like Taylor Spliff or something like that—and [Elvis Depressedly] made me laugh. On a whim, I decided
to Google it, because I’m of the opinion that nothing is original. I couldn’t find any instance of
“Elvis Depressedly,” so I thought it’d make a cool band name." - Mathew Lee Cothran of Elvis Depressedly.
[Verse 1]
Eb
You ran away from your uselessness
Ab Eb
Like you had something to prove
Eb
How fucking stupid can you be
Ab Eb
To think it wouldn't follow you?
[Chorus]
Cm Bb Eb
That's the way it's always been
Cm Bb Eb
That's the way it's always been
[Verse 2]
Eb
Every night you're a wreck
Ab Eb
Just crying like a child
Eb
All your lies are terrified
Ab Eb
And your hunger's running wild
[Chorus]
Eb Cm Bb Eb
And this is what you deserve
Cm Bb Eb
This is what you deserve
[Verse 3]
Eb
You're pitiful and you're permanent
Ab Eb
And you haunt my broken life
Eb
I'm so far from my home by now
Ab Eb
There's no way I will survive
[Chorus]
Eb Cm Bb Eb
And I can't wait for you to die
Eb Cm Bb Eb
I can't wait for you to die
