Verse 1:
[E] Mom and dad can't
remember if I told you
[C#m] how glad I am I
finally got to know you
[A]Years from when we
met after I left [E]home
[E] Let me sing you sweet
and distant fictions
[C#m] On lonely nights you
will lay and listen
[A] If you don't like it
wait until I [E]fix it[E][C#m][A][E]
Verse 2:
[E] Then morning comes and
cops invade my conscience
[C#m] I run around
the house A heated atom
[A]Can't foresee the outcome
but you can lean to one [E]side
[E] If ever I should seem
to take for gradated
[C#m] this lovely life that
I have been handed
[A]darling don't just stand
there come knock me a[E]round
because

Verse 3:
[E] The overview is
not the same
as going through
[C#m] the present joy

[E] They took my words and
wrote them off as passing
[C#m] It pissed me off enough
to keep m writing
[A] Go make your living boy
I'll go on [E]fighting cause
Chorus 2:
[A] I know I can write my

Verse 4:
[E] Some people say I'm
corny or I'm morbid
[C#m] I always thought I
was touching I was tragic
[A]One man's magic
is another's [E]plastic
[E] Well which one is it?
Am I sweetness?
Am I sickness?
[C#m] If I say both you will
say I lack commitment
[A] Of course you're right
Of course I'm [E]right but
