# (G, C, D, C) through the whole song except the bridge which is (G, D, C, D)

tomorrow I am leaving for Baltimore
you think I act like Harry Potter
like you're Voldemort
I don't care what you said
you didn't mean it like I did
don't even start with me
                              G     C
turn up the heat, turn up the heat
D                  C
please get out the kitchen
            G          C
you're like vegan cheese
D        C                G           C
try as I might, you never melt for me
   D               C               G    C    D    C 
it wasn't quite as funny at the time

G  C  D  C

       G
now in ten minutes
C         D            C
I will be ten minutes away
 G                         C
part of me thinks I should go back
       D                   C
to the folk-punk house and stay
     G           C
everybody was so nice there
            D             C                     G    C    D    C
there were lots of heavy things that stayed in place

      G                  C
and I wish that this was more like that
    D                  C               G
but when you feel held back, you slip away
              C
and really, I get that
    D            C
sometimes I also feel that way
        G               C
but I'm older now and I know this now
       D                         C                G    C    D    C
it's a game, it's a game, it's a game and I can't play

G  C  D  C

          G
because I shoot for the impossible
    D
knowing that it won't come
          C
and you'd think I would know better
         D
now that I am twenty-one
          G
I've been bored, I've been so bored
              D
and I've been numb and dumb
                     C     D
and I'm still pretty young

            G                 C
besides I'm really getting so adept
      D              C
at preventing my own happiness
   G               C
complacency breeds latency
        D                  C
in that space it sits deep in my chest
        G
and the thing that beats
  C                      D
beneath your breast, has been at rest
      C
but I try my best
   G                   C
to see how close I can get to it
          D                     C
because I get productive when I get upset, hey

G  C  D  C [x2]

       G        C               D            C
so now in ten minutes I will be ten minutes away
        G                  C
part of me thinks I should leave right now
    D              C
but I sit back and wait
          G                   C
I've been bored, I've been so bored
              D                    C        G    C    D    C
and I've been looking for a little bit of heartache

Baltimore, Baltimore, Baltimore, Baltimore...
