[Verse 1]
G
Drove home from the Richman show

   Am                  D
He played that summer feeling

G
And i felt that a little

         Am            D
but that feeling kept retreating

Am               D
My head by the P. A. I heard my

G     Am    C
Heart Beat Weird

Am                D
You felt so real beside me

G        Am        C
But i didn't feel real
[Verse 2]
G
Flat earthers argue whether

      Am            D
other planets are flat

G
Doctors say not to worry

        Am         D
but I'm scared of math

Am                D
A thousand little gods down there

     G    Am     C
They whisper my worth

C                 D              G
So i talk, to the cats like it's church
[Chorus]
              C                     D                        G
Still I don't honk at the big black truck on a Saturday night

        C                   D                        G
even though it's stopped in front of me at the green light

           C                     D
No I won't honk at the big black truck

      G    Am   C
On a SATURDAY Night

C              D
Cause i like, I like

      G
Being Alive
[Verse 3]
G
There's teeth in the stack

          Am          D
Where the powerlines end

G
And they'll sell you the itch

        Am            D
They'll rent you the win

G                 Am
A king bought the kingdom

   G      Am    C
Of signal and sin

        Am               D
and his fans paint their mirrors

     G     Am     C
With pictures of him
[Bridge]
G
And the hit gets quicker

    Am        D
the loop gets worse

  G
I scrolled till the ghost in the

Am            D
Glass learned words

       Am           D
and my fingers they tap tap tap

G   Am   C
tap tap tap tap

   Am       D
In case of emergency

G  Am     C
   break glass
[Chorus]
              C                     D                        G
Still I don't honk at the big black truck on a Saturday night

        C                   D                        G
even though it's stopped in front of me at the green light

           C                     D
No I won't honk at the big black truck

      G    Am   C
On a SATURDAY Night

C              D
Cause i like, I like

      G
Being Alive
[Outro]
               C
The moon looks fake

                 D
But it's hanging there

       G                           Am         C
frozen sky tastes like wine in the late night air

          C
the lines hum

               D
my heart keeps time

   G                        Am       C
it smells awful sweet for a world on fire

          Am     D
Cause the kid is asleep

        G      D     C
and the lights still work

      C           D             G
and i talk to the cats like it's church
