[D] [D/C#] [G]
[D] Yeah, I've got [G]friends who wanna [Bm]catch up on old times
[G]But that just makes me [Em]feel ashamed to [Bm]be me[A]
[D] And I've got [G]friends who wanna [Bm]relive the past
And [G]deify memor[Bm]ies
And [G]they just scream to [Bm]me
That if you [D]don't die [D/C#]young
You're [G]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
That if [Em]I got cancer or [G]somebody shot me
[D]I'd be like a [A]child or something,
[Em]Asking doctors to [G]do me favors
or [D]cross my fingers and [A]hope it gets better
Like a [Em]broken record, I [G]seem to scream,
If you don't die young, you're gonna live too long.
[D] [G]
I was [D]getting drunk in a foreign ocean
[G]Trying to wrap my head around problems
And [Bm]all my bitterness just seemed pas[E]se.
Because I [D]realized as soon as I said it
How [G]long it'd take to swim from Jones Beach to Indonesia
And [Bm]maybe you're waiting on a call from me.
And maybe you're [D]working in a crowded restaurant
And [G]you're the one who's got a life so fucked up
that you [Bm]don't know what [E]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.
