G                        Am
Make what you can out of nothing

                  D/F#                                     
Keep bluffing your way to extinction

         C            D                                   
You're a sick fuck to think

           Em                         C     D               
That this, unlike anything else, will last forever

G                       Am                                 
Building rock anthems a jigsaw exterior

D/F#                                                        
You see what you miss

        C                 D                               
But you can't stand to be near her

     Em                                                   
It's bigger than that you realize

                  C        D                              
But short-sighted impulses own what's left of your dignity

G                     Am                                   
Tell yourself quietly don't plow the field yet

       D/F#                 C             D                
You're waiting to grow some new life from retrospect

Em                                           C             
You know free agency pays little in the long run

        D                                                
But you just don't feel like your legs are that tired yet

Em             Am                                                     
Friends and go-betweens

          D                                              
Sing like canaries crushed in leaves

            Am             C                       
This is the thanks you get

Em               Am                                         
Somewhere that's sweet

      D                                                  
Maybe someday we will meet

          Am        C   D   G                                
And I can thank you without strings

                           Am                             
All these befores that get drilled on long after

D/F#                               C              D       
It's all just leverage when you're sure that it's over

Em                                           C           
The street goes blurry like a movie that you saw once

D                                                        
Minutes freeze but you can't collect the corners still

G                       Am                                 
She used to whisper you name like a refrain

D/F#                       C              D                
And when she held you, you know, you felt safer

         Em                                               
But your demons are fucking huge

                       C                                 
You stack your deck to lose

     D                                                   
You say there's nothing you can do

                                                        
Well we all know that you're lying

Em             Am                                          
Friends and go-betweens

          D                                              
Sing like canaries crushed in Spring

            Am              C                             
This is the thanks you get

Em                   Am                                    
You get what you put in

                   D                                     
I guess that's bullshit in the end

               Am                                         
Written under fluorescent lights
                                                        
     C           D      G        
That replace the sun at night
