[Verse 2]
Last night we slept on the lawn
You woke up and I was gone
Back to the dream I dream to leave
My life with her is a bore
A worn-out metaphor
No more surprises up its sleeve
[Pre-Cborus]
We're old at being young, young at being old
Everything's been sold to others' revolutions
[Cborus]
[Bridge]
You [D]live above your dad's four-[Cadd9]car gar[G]age
With your [D]vinyl and imaginary [Cadd9]entoura[G]ge
If I [D]pull up in a U-Haul, [Cadd9]pack up q[G]uick
So we can [D]get out of this town, 'cause it [Cadd9]makes me [Fmaj7]sick
[Cborus]
