[Verse 1]
C G
Mortimer's ghost graduates today
C G D
First in his class and well on his way
C D
The dry cleaning king of Baltimore's only kid
C
Thinks back on all the things he almost did
[Verse 2]
G C G
I could've wrecked the car, I could've broke the law
C G D
I could've fell love with every girl I saw
C D
But I didn't, and I missed my chance to fail
C
And if I tried right now, well, I'd probably go to jail"
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
Singing, la la, la la la la la
G
Look at me now
N.C.
I've got it figured out
[Chorus]
G D C
Life is a long conversation
G D C
And love is a call that never ends
Am D
Don't hang up the phone
Bm C
You're not alone
G D
You're with me and I'm with you
C
And we're with friends
[Verse 3]
G C G
Mortimer's ghost calls me to confess
C G D
His job is a joke, his life is meaningless
C D
"They tell you what to do and make you walk the plank
C
Freedom's just another word for, 'You owe the bank'
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
Singing, la la, la la la la la
G
Look at me now
I've got it figured out
[Chorus]
G D C
Life is a long conversation
G D C
And love is a call that never ends

Don't hang up the phone
Bm C
You're not alone
G D
You're with me and I'm with you
C
And we're with friends
[Bridge]
Em
Buckled up in shirts and ties
G
Waiting for the downsize
Em
Decorate your cubicle
C
You can't go out, your schedule's full
G
Gotta get the kids at five
C
They're judging you by what you drive
Em
They're judging you by what you drive
N.C.
They're judging you by what you drive
[Chorus]
