Version 1
[Verse 1]
Bb Dm Gm Dm
Go back to the old crap
Cm Ab Bb
To the things you tell yourself you’ve gotten through.
Bb Dm Gm Dm
But it’s just been a week of
Cm Ab Bb
Desperately trying not to sweat off the glue
[Chorus]
Gm F Eb Bb
‘Cause the body wants to do things
Gm F Ebmaj7
that the body wants to do.
Gm Gb F Bb
It’s a shell coated in candy
Eb F Gm
for the ground that waits for you.
[Verse 2]
Bb Dm
Rip your friends off.
Gm Dm
Write a new song,
Cm Ab Bb
Call it “Shame” and claim its indelible truths,
Bb Dm
Play the victim,
Gm Dm
Be a shithead,
Cm Ab Bb
Throw the blame at anyone coming for you
[Chorus 2]
Gm F Eb Bb
‘Cause the brain’s gonna do things
Gm F Ebmaj7
that the brain’s gonna do.
Gm Gb F Bb
I’m the worst kind of person
Eb F Gm
And I’m still in love with you.
(Gm) D Gm D
[Verse 3]
Gm D
Howzit animosity can just cut right through
Gm D
the fog of a pixelated memory that you figured was long gone
Bb Dm Gm Dm
and it shapeshifts into guilt that corners you into rights and wrongs
Bb Dm Gm Dm
‘cause you told yourself you’re the kind of person who knows how to move on
Gm D
and the only way to trick yourself into not feeling insane
Gm D
are the negative impulses that you struggle to restrain?
Bb Dm Gm Dm
You know that nothing’s real but you sink your hooks into mistakes anyway
Bb Dm Gm Dm
and you’re paralyzed by the how’s and why’s because people never change.
[Verse 4]
Eb
You can call it "angst" but I ain’t seen proof
C Ab G Gb F E F Gb G Ab Db Eb D
That the world ain’t fucked and we ain’t just doomed to the truth.
Bb Dm Gm Dm Cm Ebm G F x2
So sing a long lalala
Gm F Gm F Gm
[Verse 5]
Gm F Eb Bb
I’m still gonna do all
Gm F Eb
of the things I want to do
Gm Gb Eb Bb
But the truth at the moment is
Eb F Gm
I’m tired of the truth.
Eb F Gm
I’m tired of the truth.
Eb F Bb
Yeah, I’m tired and I’m through.
