[Intro]
D, Cadd9 (x5)
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9 D Cadd9
You're in an all-girl band
D Cadd9 D Cadd9
Your futon's second hand
D Cadd9 D Cadd9 D Cadd9 D Cadd9 A7sus D
Your parents understand, but you don't care
D Cadd9 D Cadd9
I have a job in a shop
D Cadd9 D Cadd9
I'm an under cover cop
D Cadd9 D Cadd9 D Cadd9 D Cadd9
I make sure the customers aren't thieves
[Pre-Chorus]
A Em
Old at being young
A Em
Young at being old
A Em
Everything's on hold within our evolution
[Chorus]
D Fmaj7 Em A7sus A7
You're my alternative girlfriend
D Fmaj7 Em A7sus A7
I love you and now you cannot pretend
Bm G
There's nothing left that won't cross over
[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-Chorus]
We're old at being young, young at being old
Everything's been sold to others' revolutions
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
D Cadd9 G
You live above your dad's four-car garage
D Cadd9 G
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
D Cadd9 G
If I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
D Cadd9 Fmaj7
So we can get out of this town, 'cause it makes me sick
[Chorus]
