INTRO:
And it's true we named our children after towns, that we'd never been to
And it's true that the clouds just hung around,
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
CHORUS:
And we were [Am]done, done, done with all the [Fmaj7]f**k, f**k, f**king around![C]
[G] You were so [Am]true to yourself, you were tr[Fmaj7]ue to no one else
Well [C]I should put you in the ground.[B]
I've got the ti[Am]me, i got the hours, i got the day[Fmaj7]s, i got the weeks
I could say[C] to myself I've got wor[G]ds but I can't speak but I was
[Am]Done, done, done with all the [Fmaj7]circ, circ, circling 'roun[C]d.[B]
BRIDGE:
[Bb] I didn't die and I ain't complaining
I[F] ain't blaming you.[C] [B]
[Am] I didn't know that the words you said to me meant more
[Fmaj7]to me than they ever could you.[C] [G]
[Bb] I didn't lie and I ain't saying I[F] told the whole truth.[C] [B]
[Am] I didn't know that this game we were playing even
[F]had a set of rules.[C] [G]
VERSE:
We named our children after towns, that we'd never been to
And it's true that the clouds just hung around,
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground.
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns.
But we were all still just
CHORUS:
[Am]Dumb, dumb, dumber than the [Fmaj7]dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground![C] [G]
[Am]Well, wings on flames, kings with no names,
[Fmaj7]well this place just ain't[C] got right air right now.[B]
You were so [Am]all over town but still so [Fmaj7]crayola brown, well you should
[C]run 'round yourself right now.[G] And we were,
[Am]done, done, done with all the [Fmaj7]f**k, f**k, f**king around.[C] [B]
AND END ON: Am
