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

Verse:
EF#mAAG#mE
Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
EF#mG#mAAG#mE
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left
EF#mG#mAAG#m
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me
and our little vignette
F#mAE
For whatever poor soul is coming next
