[Intro and Verse]
Am Am(2) Am Am(2) F C F C G
Verse 1
Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared
I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning
[Hook]
C
I wanna hurry home to you
F Am Am(2) Am Am(2)
put on a slow, dumb show for you
G
and crack you up
C F
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
Am Am(2) Am Am(2)
god I’m very, very frightening
G
I’ll overdo it
Verse 2
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other
[Hook]
