Hello

There's a place I've been going

There's a place I've been going

          C               F
Now we're clean, it would seem

                           C
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen

                  F
As sad as it seems

C                              C/B
  "I've seen my friends at the birthday party

          F                         G
They were kinda fucked up before it even started

          C               C/B
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show

     F                         G
They didn't know about all the weird stuff

                   C                     C/B
So they just left it" (So they just left it)

      F             G
I was wasted (l was wasted)

     C C/B           F
And cold, minding my business

         G
And I've seen the girls and they were all like

C                          C/B
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"

              F                           G
Listen, I got myself a missus, says there can't be any kissing

     C                             C/B
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid

         F                        G
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"

C           C/B
 Single and well

  F                           G
I thought that I was stuck in hell

     C                          C/B
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel

          F                           G
'Bout her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well

C                         C/B
  Pulled away when I went in for the kiss

F                 G
  No, it wasn't a diss

            C                      C/B
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss

       F                             G
After four years don't you think I'm over all this?

C                    C/B
 "That's rich from a man who can't shit

     F                       G
In a hotel room, he's gotta share for a bit"

    C                           C/B
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby

   F                          G
To get things that they don't have

           C                            C/B
Does it go through ya, when I'm talking to ya?

                      F
You know that I could sue ya if we're married

        G
And you fuck up again

  C                 C/B
Impress myself with stealth and bad health

       F                     G
And my wealth and regressive causes

                   C                    C/B
Then drink your kombucha, and buy an Ed Ruscha

              F
Surely it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it

G
Look, the fucking state of it

C
I came pretty late to it

C/B                             F                G
We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture

         C           F
All your friends in one place

            C         C/B        F     G
Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means

   C           F      G        C
I depend on my friends to stay clean

   C/B            F
As sad as it seems

   G
As sad as it seems

C       C/B  F  G
