Yeah, I've got friends who wanna catch up on old times
GEmBmA
But that just makes me feel ashamed to be me
DGBm
And I've got friends who wanna relive the past
GBm
And deify memories
GBm
And they just scream to me
DD/C#
That if you don't die young
G
You're gonna live too long.
On the stoop of the apartment next to my shitty job
An old friend passed me on the street today
I said "Hello" and tried to catch up on old times
She walked the other way.
Maybe I seemed to scream
EmG
That if I got cancer or somebody shot me
DA
I'd be like a child or something,
EmG
Asking doctors to do me favors
DA
or cross my fingers and hope it gets better
EmG
Like a broken record, I seem to scream,
If you don't die young, you're gonna live too long.
DGD
I was getting drunk in a foreign ocean
G
Trying to wrap my head around problems
BmE
And all my bitterness just seemed passe.
D
Because I realized as soon as I said it
G
How long it'd take to swim from Jones Beach to Indonesia
Bm
And maybe you're waiting on a call from me.
D
And maybe you're working in a crowded restaurant
G
And you're the one who's got a life so fucked up
BmE
that you don't know what happened.
Just like you saw me working at some restaurant
Embarrassed 'cause my life was just so fucked up.
And I don't know how it happened.
