[Bm]And I k[D]ept dista[G]nce: the complic[E]ations cloud
[Bm]the postc[D]ards and blip[G]s through fiber [E]optics,

Second Verse:
[Bm]Synapse[D] to synapse: [G]the sneaky k[E]ids had attached
[Bm]beer c[D]ans to the b[G]umper so t[E]hey could drive
[Bm]up and d[D]own the m[G]ain dr[E]ag.
[Bm]People would t[D]urn to see who's m[G]aking the r[E]acket.
