[Verse 1]
D A
thinkin' bout four summers ago
Em G
driving down quiet back roads
D
in south jersey,
A Em G
i was stinking of lake water and snack bar grease
[Verse 2]
D A
listened to "September Gurls"
Em G
and hoped the school year would be different,
D A
didn't wanna be a Big Star
Em G D
but didn't wanna be a small fry either, no
A Em
oh oh oh oh
G D A Em G
didn't wanna be a weenie any more
[Verse 3]
D A
coffee at the kitchen table,
Em G
you'll join me two hours later
D A Em G
i'll be sitting in front of a blank page in my notebook
D A
been reading through modern poetry
Em G
i just dont understand these images
D A Em
why's this beauty blocked from me?
(Em) G
well, i know i know certain things:
D A
i know uncertainty
Em G D A Em
i know every last freakin' thing 'bout hyperbole
(Em) G D
i know someone knows the weather,
A Em G
doesn't matter i always pack an extra sweater
D A Em G
bad jokes make me happy
[Bridge]
D A Em G
D A Em G
[Verse 4]
D A Em
put my laundry in the dryer two days later
G D
turn it on high and forget it,
A Em
it catches on fire
G D A
i want to throw the appliance out the window
Em G
of my third floor apartment,
D A Em G
but i can't lift it so i spit on it
[Verse 5]
D A Em
sip homemade lemonade in my dreams
G D
cause i've yet to make any
A Em G
not too much sugar, i like the sour and sting
D A
dump iced tea on my head
Em G D
in here i'm burning up, i'm unraveling
A Em G
kick off my shoes, come with me, we'll swim through
(G) D A Em
through these sweat-stained sheets
[Verse 6]
G D A Em
crack open another can of beans
G D
cheers to friends we've yet to meet,
A Em G
i'll pray they forgive my reclusive tendencies
D A Em G
we've all got so much strange to give
