Cm                      Cm/Bb
  Are you the same Kristine

Abmaj7
  I knew from seventh grade?

Bbsus4     Bb/Ab
  No, it's definitely you

Eb            G7b9
  Just with a new last name

Cm                      Cm/Bb
  Someone who laughed a lot

Abmaj7
  Is what I remember the most

Bbsus4               Bb/Ab
  But the face in your profile

Eb                           G7b9
  Suggests maybe not so much anymore

[PRE-REFRAIN 1]

Fm
  Yeah, I got the emails

Cm
  These last two years every day

Fm                   Bb
  And I just don't reply because

        Cm                  Cm/Bb
I'm not really sure what to say

[REFRAIN 1]

Cm                    Cm/Bb
   The anger, the all caps

Abmaj7
   And all thе pseudoscience

Bbsus4                    Bb/Ab
   The misspellings, they must be on purpose

   Eb                          G7b9
We went to a good school, Kristine

Cm                           Cm/Bb
   So what would you imagine I might

Abmaj7
   Take from this deluge of memes

Bbsus4               Bb/Ab
   The cryptic, dark Bible quotes

         Eb
Guns and dead fetuses

           G7b9
Seriously, Kristine, are you okay?

[PRE-REFRAIN 2]

Fm                      Bb7
  'Cause this world can be

Ebmaj9    Abmaj7      Gm
Wonderful too, yeah

Fm             Bb
   Do you ever see it that way?

[REFRAIN 2]

Cm                          Cm9/Bb
There's a break in the rain

Abmaj7
      A perfect time for a walk

Bbsus4
     The smell of wet leaves

         Bb/Ab
And warm smiles and hellos

Eb                          G7b9
  These things exist in the real world, you know

Cm                      Cm/Bb
  Oh, what a shame, Kristine

Abmaj7
  This disease that makes strangers of friends

Bbsus4                          Bb/Ab
  But if these days it's really usses and thems

      Eb                             G7b9
Maybe you should just take me off of both of those lists

[OUTRO]

Fm                   Bb7       Ebmaj9
  'Cause it's such a short and sad

    Abmaj7         Gm
And beautiful life

Fm             Bb
   Do you ever see it that way?
