As recorded by the Parquet Courts (2022 single release) [Intro] E G A E G A E G A E G A [Verse 1]
E                  G
Watching strangers smile

                    A
Never knew it was a privilege

E     G                               A
Until the wide fearful eyes was all I saw

E           G                       A
Filling out forms as the hold music loops

              E              G
Now I've been trapped inside for weeks on end

                      A                  E
My knees, my back, my brain all start to bend
[Interlude] G A E G A E G A E G A E G A E G A [Verse 2]
E          G                        A
City music makes me want to lose my mind

E            G                                    A
Like when it taunts me through the bite of summer evenings

E            G                        A
Walk out the door to the store, buy a beer

           E           G
And I'm so paranoid my mask will slip

                     A             E             G
I just can't seem to get a goddamn grip, a grip, a grip
[Interlude] A E G A E G A E G A E G A [Bridge]
C                  E
Do you think about luck and let her

A
Make the effort that you won't?

C              G  D
Do you have 20/20 vision?

A
I don't
[Outro] E B G A E B G E G A E G A E G A E G A E
