A C#7 F#m D



[Verse 1]

A                       C#7
   You can write yourself into somebody’s history

          F#m                        D
and claim memory and importance and how it should be

A                          C#7
   You were always kind of useless as a kid

        F#m                     D
and hot damn, looks like we’re growing out of it

A                   C#7
   Think about how awful it once was

                F#m                           D
and you’re still waiting on a declaration to finally wake you up

A                           C#7          F#m        D
   Well don’t you dare ever admit how serious you felt about this

A C#7 F#m D


[Verse 2]

A                               C#7
    You know you give someone a job

                   F#m
You give someone a name

                  D                                         A
You give someone something they’re suppose to never be the same

                        C#7
You say you don’t ever expect

                         F#m
You say it’s easier like that

                      D                                     A
Well if nobody ever throws, what the fuck are you going to catch

C#7           F#m
     Catch me baby,

D                A
one more time as I fall

C#7          F#m
     Fall for you

D                 A        C#7
One more time as I lose-

   F#m    D
I lose  it



[Verse 3]

A                            C#7
     Cause you’re a damn good view

                                    F#m
but I’m not throwing down until you do, dear

                       D                             A
We’ll waltz around in place, ignore the obvious stalemate

                  C#7  F#m     D
It’s a fairly good ca--ase to say:

A                                     C#7
   "Well, here goes me and there goes you

                            F#m
here goes me and there goes you

                             D
here goes me and there goes you"
