Chords
The verses and choruses are quite easy and straightforward, but the little progression
that repeats throughout (D-Bm-A-A-B5-G5) is a little tricky until you figure out the timing.
Practice it a bit and you'll get it.
Power chords sound okay, but I think it sounds much
better if you open up to full chords, except the B5 and G5 I noted, and just palm mute
and strum alternately as the song dictates.

[Verse 1]
D Bm F#m Kelly says that at the end of each relationship G The boy starts quoting lyrics from that Movielife song D Bm F#m And my mom says there's no songs with her name in them G Except one about a crackhead in Janie's Got a Gun
[Verse 2]
D Bm F#m Well Matt says, when I mentioned him in Bar Bands G Kids started asking questions - it got weird D Bm Kinda quick, and I had a dream that F#m G We named a kid we never had after Hannah Hold On F#m G And I haven't listened since F#m G A 'Cause it tears me to pieces

[Verse 3]
D Bm F#m Stevie said that if I woke up feeling hopeless G That I should think about it different, that I had it all wrong D Bm F#m It's not the end if you call it a new beginning G F#m Plus, it's a chance to write some bitter fucking love songs G F#m I heard Quentin belt the notes to some words that Alex wrote G About dying alone A Bm And I felt sort of whole
[Verse 4]
Bm A G It takes a fucked up head to think about dying alone F#m When you're in you're twenties Bm So I'm glad it's not just me Bm F#m G A It takes a fucked up head to think about dying alone already
[Chorus]
