D G Bm Em G C D G C Em D [Verse 1]
G                  Bm                            Em
 You took a little every day until I didn't have shit

                  B           C                 G
Two years off and on and not even the chance to quit

                      D
Just a letter on the fridge

                        C
That I got from human resources

G                          Bm
 I know that six weeks was kind of a bit much

         Em                          B
And that nothing is forever and that nothing should be

C              Am                 G
Someday it all stops, and I can't sleep now

        C              D
Because I'm not a real fucking adult
[Chorus 1]
G                Bm      C         G            Bm     C
But I guess I'll have my life from Seven to Six Fourty-Five

C                              Am                G
Marie, Marie, Marie, I'm sorry I've been too busy

        C             D            G
For the promise of an unfulfilling life
G Bm Em G C Am [Verse 2]
G                      Bm
 The risks I took were mine to take

               Em                       C                  B           G
We couldn't communicate in anything but rote responses and shit eating grins

                      D
And everything starts dwindling when it's all built on

C
Power trips and pandering, power trips and pandering

G                   Bm                         Em
 The letter arrived yesterday, I didn't have a drop to drink

                  B                   C
I had to play and drive four hours to Brooklyn

   Am              G
To my apartment of dirty shit

      C               D
And a thousand lonely days ahead
[Chorus 2]
G                    Bm      C
But I guess now I'll have my life

     G                Bm    C
With red and blackout of my eyes

C                              Am                   G
Marie, Marie, Marie I'm really stoked you set me free

         C             D            G
From the promise of an unfulfilling life

     Am     C                G    Am     C
Where I can pay my bills and pass out at eleven and not
[Bridge]
Gm                               B      C
Wake up in the morning and start feeling bad

Gm                                  B   C
Worst case of the Mondays that I've ever had

        Am                          C
Though I treat every weekday like a Saturday night

  G                 C
Except for drinks I can't afford

  Am                C
A can of Shmidty's, nothing more

  G              C
I need some more security

     Am            C                     G
Than that provided by choosing between a job you hate

  C                  Am               C
A job you hate and a job that doesn't pay

Am                       Bm                   Em
I got too caught up with me to behave responsibly

                         C                 D
Michael, Nathan and Christine, I've got no rent, Marie, Marie!
[Outro]
G                            Bm
I was arguing with cops while I had a fake mustache on

Em                             B              C
Poorly handling emotions while swimming naked in the ocean

G                                         Bm
Breaking bottles on stranger's floors and leaving without our fucking passports

Em                           B          C
Drinking gin and Zicam until 2 AM while playing Rock Band

G                             Bm
Inviting myself into homes of strangers to drink all alone

Em                               B                    C
Leaving sweat-soaked boxers on a bar 'cause they said "put a t-shirt on"

G                        Am
Acting irresponsibly and trying to make a choice between

D                    C
A job you hate and a job that doesn't pay
