CDmF (C/E)
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
CDmEmF (C/E)
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
CDmEmF (C/E)
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
DmFC
For reasons wretched and divine
CDmF (C/E)
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild
CDmEmF (C/E)
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
CDmEmF (C/E)
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
DmFC
And lord she found me just in time
AmEmF
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
DmBbBmC
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young
CDmF (C/E)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
CDmF (C/E)
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
AmEmF (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
CDmF
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues
CDmF (C/E)
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
CDmEmF (C/E)
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
CDmEmF (C/E)
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
DmFC
Sit back and watch the world go by
AmEmF
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
DmBbBmC
We tried the world good god it wasn't for us
(chorus)
Instrumental:

Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
CDmF (C/E)
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left
CDmEmF (C/E)
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
DmFC
For whatever poor soul is coming next
(chorus)
