Standard tuning





G                        Am

Make what you can out of nothing



                  D/F#                                     

Keep bluffing your way to extinction



         C            D                                   

You're a sick  to think



           Em                         C     D               

That this, unlike anything else, will last forever



G                       Am                                 

Building rock anthems a jigsaw exterior



D/F#                                                        

You see what you miss



        C                 D                               

But you can't stand to be near her



     Em                                                   

It's bigger than that you realize



                  C        D                              

But short-sighted impulses own what's left of your dignity



G                     Am                                   

Tell yourself quietly don't plow the field yet



       D/F#                 C             D                

You're waiting to grow some new life from retrospect



Em                                           C             

You know free agency pays little in the long run



        D                                                

But you just don't feel like your legs are that tired yet



Em             Am                                                     

Friends and go-betweens



          D                                              

Sing like canaries crushed in leaves



            Am             C                       

This is the thanks you get



Em               Am                                         

Somewhere that's sweet



      D                                                  

Maybe someday we will meet



          Am        C   D   G                                

And I can thank you without strings



                           Am                             

All these befores that get drilled on long after



D/F#                               C              D       

It's all just leverage when you're sure that it's over



Em                                           C           

The street goes blurry like a movie that you saw once



D                                                        

Minutes freeze but you can't collect the corners still



G                       Am                                 

She used to whisper you name like a refrain



D/F#                       C              D                

And when she held you, you know, you felt safer



         Em                                               

But your demons are ing huge



                       C                                 

You stack your deck to lose



     D                                                   

You say there's nothing you can do



                                                        

Well we all know that you're lying



Em             Am                                          

Friends and go-betweens



          D                                              

Sing like canaries crushed in Spring



            Am              C                             

This is the thanks you get



Em                   Am                                    

You get what you put in



                   D                                     

I guess that's bullshit in the end



               Am                                         

Written under fluorescent lights

                                                        

     C           D      G        

That replace the sun at night
