G
 I hate the stench of coffee on your breath

                    C   Em                   G
And I hate to feel its warmth against my neck
And what right do you have to have nightmares about me
                  C      Em    C G
When all I wanted was to sleep?
[Chorus]
Em                                  C
We have to take the car 'cause the bike's on fire

Em                                 D           Bm
We cannot trust your friends 'cause they were born liars

Em                         C                               Em
And if you don't exist with hearts the size of a house brick

C Bm       C
Cease and desist!
[Interlude] G C Em G [Verse 2]
G
  I left your shallow skin and a note on your kitchen sideboard

                         Em                            G
It read, "I have left you, please never try to find me"
This is no existential crisis, just turn your pain into piety
                            C    Em                   G
And then set your alarm clock for 4am the next morning
[Chorus]
      Em                                 C
We have to take the car 'cause the bike's on fire

      Em                              D    B   Bm
We cannot trust your friends 'cause they were born liars

      Em                      C                         Em
And if you don't exist with hearts the size of a house brick

 D     Bm  Am
Cease and desist!
[Refrain]
Em      Cm       A          G                       C             G          C             G
This is how you spell "HAHAHA, I've destroyed the hopes and the dreams of a generation of faux-romantics"

     C       G            C Cm
And I'm pleased, I'm pleased.
[Verse 3]
G
  You walk in from your mother's balcony
Panda-eyed and freezing cold
             G
You bury yourself in my chest to warm
I notice the goosebumps on your arms, millions
G
  And whether it's because of the number of hours spent laid face down on my bed

                              G
listening to white noise or, well, obviously it's not

                                           C
I somehow manage to translate them from Braille
[Interlude] Em C [Verse 4]
G                                                                                                 G
  The trails on your skin spoke more to me than the reams and reams of the half finished novels you'd leave
Lying around all over the place
                                                  G
And every quotation that'd dribbled from your mouth like a final, fatal LivejJournal entry

    G                            C
"I know, I am wrong, I am sorry"
[Interlude] Em Cm G C Em G Cm Em C G [Chorus]
     Em                              C
We have to take the car 'cause the bike's on fire

Em                                   D         Bm
We cannot trust your friends 'cause they were born liars

    Em                        C                             Em
And if you don't exist with hearts the size of a house brick

  G    Gm    A
Cease, and desist!
[Refrain]
 Em      C       Am        G                      C          G          C             G
This is how you spell "HAHAHA, We destroyed the hopes and dreams of a generation of faux-romantics"

 C             G    C        G
And I'm pleased, I'm pleased.
