C        Dm                            F              E
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
C               Dm            Em        F             E
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
C        Dm                            F              E
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
    Dm      F            C
For reasons wretched and divine

 
C        Dm                      F                 E
She blows out of nowhere, roman candle of the wild
C               Dm            Em        F             E
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
C        Dm                            F              E
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
    Dm       F                C
And Lord she found me just in time

 
             Am         Em         F
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
             Bm      
I need to be youthfully felt
            Bb    Bm   C
Cause god I never felt young


C           Dm               F                                   E
She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair
C              Dm               F                                  E
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care
Am              Em           F                                    E
We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives, ride around picking up clues
C              Dm                  F
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise em on rhythm and blues

 
C            Dm                            F               E
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
C         Dm     Em     F                            E
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
C                Cm   Em      F                        E
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Dm                     F         C
Sit back and watch the world go by

 
      Am    Em             F
Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust
Dm                              Bb     Bm  C
We tried the world, good god it wasn't for us


C           Dm               F                                   E
She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair
C              Dm               F                                  E
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care
Am              Em           F                                    E
We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives, ride around picking up clues

Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
C                 Cm                  F             E
Looking up from my cigarette and she's already left

Start digging up the yard for what's left of me in our little vinette

For whatever poor soul is coming next
