Tryin' to remember a happier day
D A D A
Oh boy oh boy
[Verse 3]

Tell me 'bout things that I don't know
D A D A
In my studio
[Verse 15]
D Bm7 Em Em7
The lights in here are soft and green

Prettiest things that you've ever seen

Don't you get a ruptured spleen
D A D A
The lights are soft and green
[Verse 16]
D Bm7 Em Em7
Oh I love my record collection

No time now for dull reflection
D A D A
I watched the American election
[Verse 17]
D Bm7 Em Em7
I was in a bad condition

All it was was the electrician
D A D A
Rub his lamp and wishin'
[Verse 18]

The reverb helps spur my head along
D A D
When I make up new songs
