[Verse 1]
Db Ab Bbm Gb As I desaturate the fertile greens, I wanna tell you I Db Ab Bbm Gb Don’t perpetuate these western schemes but I can’t stop laughing at Db Ab Bbm Gb The shortsightedness of childhood dreams where we’re all young astronauts. Db Ab Bbm F The truth is it sucks being young and in love. Gb Ebm Gb Ebm Db When you’re old you’re just bummed that you’ll never be happy enough.

[Verse 2]
Db Ab Bbm Gb Swim in waterfalls while parents sleep; emerge with spider bites. Db Ab Bbm Gb Fearlessly exploring new countries, I crashed my motorbike. Db Ab Bb I wanted to outline the scar in tattoo ink. Gb It looked like a polar bear or Africa. Db Ab Bbm F But the scar went away and my memories changed. Gb Ebm Gb Ebm No, it wouldn’t be great to be back in 1998.
Gb Ebm
[Chorus]
Db I’ve been treating my body. F Bb Like I never worry that I’m gonna die Gb Because you would forgive me. Db I’ve been treating my body. F Like I, Like I’m worried Bbm Ab Gb Ebm Db That I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name.
[Bridge]
Bbm Ab Ebm Gb So what do we get for the friends we’ve met and the ones we love at home? Bbm Ab Ebm Gb Yeah, what do we get for the friends we’ve met and the one we’ve left alone? Db We’re gonna give ‘em a trip to the hospital. F We’re gonna give ‘em the bill for the funeral. Bbm We’re gonna give ‘em the debt from our student loans. Gb We’re gonna give ‘em what’s left of the shit we owned. Db I’ve been treating my body. F Bbm Like I never worry that I’m gonna die Gb Because you would forgive me. Db I’ve been treating my body. F Like I, Like I’m worried Bbm Ab Gb Ebm That I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name. Bbm Ab Gb Ebm I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name. Bbm Ab Gb Ebm Db I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name.
