[Verse 1]
G D Em C
There is no space
G D Em C
For what you need to know
G D Em C G D Em C
I'm the forms that I must fill out.

All this stuff just wants to spill out.

I take pleasure

In the simple things

I love my headphones

And my wedding ring
[Chorus]
G D Em C
Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
G D Em C
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?

You spend half your life

I tell the same joke
G D Em C
Many different ways

You're jerking off
G D Em C
To catalogs
G D Em C G D Em C
Don't you feel a bit pathetic?

In the simple things

I love my headphones

And my wedding ring
[Chorus]

You spend half your life remembering your life when you were young

If I'm lying
G D Em C
If I'm lying
G D Em C
If I'm lying
[Chorus]
