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 fuck 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 fucking 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
