THE BOREDOM IS THE REASON I STARTED SWIMMING. IT'S ALSO THE REASON I STARTED SINKING As recorded by The Front Bottoms (From the 2011 Album THE FRONT BOTTOMS) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
Foreign countries

         E
Hardwood floors and trying to sleep

        D
Foreign languages

             E            D
On all three channels of TV

                A
I don't want no drama or baggage

              E
Don't tell me complicated stories

              D
About who you used to be, but are different

         E                         D
And have changed as a person completely
[Bridge 1]

And I am not sure that I want

Any single part of any of this shit
[Chorus]
D                F#m E D

You're part of a program

You're probably even listening
[Verse 2]
Bm         A
Keep it simple and honest

     E
Stop crying, you're an adult

        D
I could stand up, I could man up

             E                   D
It's just so convenient to be fragile

             A
This pain is constant and sharp

             E
Watching the signals that you send

             D
I wanna feel lethal on the inside

             E                D
I wanna read American Psycho again
