Capo IV [Intro] Em G Cmaj7 C Em G Cmaj7 C [Verse 1]
  G                Am             G  Cmaj7
I can't recall the last time that we talked

      G            Em              Cmaj7
About anything but looking out for cops

       G                      Am               Cmaj7
We got cigarette burns in the same side of our hands

                             G
We ain't friends, we're just morons

          Em               Cmaj7
Who broke skin in the same spot

         G              Am               Cmaj7
But I've never seen you take a turn that wide

        G              Em              Cmaj7
And I'm high enough to still care if I die

     G                 Am                         Cmaj7
So I tried to read the thoughts that you'd worked overtime to stop

                G                Em            Cmaj7
You said, "Fuck off," and I said nothin' for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
                 G
You know I think about you all the time

Bm                    Cmaj7                 C
  And my deep misunderstanding of your life

                         G
And how bad it must have been for you back then

Bm                       C
  And how hard it was to keep it all inside
[Chorus]
                          G              Am G
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

Bm                             Cmaj7
  I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit

C                               G              Am G
  Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

Bm                           Cmaj7
  And not your soul and what He might do with it
[Interlude] Em G C Em G C [Verse 2]
    G               Am                      C
You inched yourself across the great divide

               G          Am            C     Cmaj7
While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line

        Cmaj7   G       Am            C
I heard nothing but the bass in every ballad that you'd play

          G                Am          C         Cmaj7
While you swore to God the singer read your mind

        G                  Am         C
But the world is scared of hesitating things

           G              Am               C    Cmaj7
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing

        G        Am          Cmaj7
And I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfair

          G                Am             Cmaj7
It was to stare ahead like everything was fine
[Pre-Chorus]
                  G
You know I think about you all the time

Bm                    C
  And my deep misunderstanding of your life

Cmaj7                      G
  And how bad it must have been for you back then

Bm                       C             Cmaj7
  And how hard it was to keep it all inside
[Chorus]
                          G              Am G
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich (Oh-oh)

Bm                             C
  I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit (Oh-oh)

                              G              Am G
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin (Oh-oh)

Bm                           Cmaj7
  And not your soul and what He might do with it

[Post-Chorus]
      Em  G  C
Ah-oh
[Bridge]
G       C          Cmaj7
  Rage,   in small ways

Bm                          C
  Did you wish that I could know

     Bm         C
That you'd fade   to some place

Bm                         C
  I wasn't brave enough to go?
[Chorus]
                          G
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

Bm                             C
  I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit

                              G
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

Bm                           Cmaj7
  And not your soul and what He might do with it
[Post-Chorus]
         Em   G   C
Ah (Ah), woah

Em  G   C
Ah

Em  G   C
Ah, Lord

Em  G   C
Ah
[Outro]
                               G                 Am G
I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass

Bm                               C
  I hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask

                              G                  Am G
I hope that you're not losing sleep about what's next

Bm                            C
  Or about your soul and what He might do with it
