[Verse] G Salutations! B To whom it may concern Em The litter box has overflowed C D The frozen dinner burned G Oh we're running low on wine, my man B Could you please swing by the store Em My TV's just reality, C D and I can't watch no more G There's a shining diamond somewhere B Where a kid is striking out Em His dad is in the dugout C D He's foaming at the mouth G A stomach's turning sour inside B Of a disappointed scout Em Yeah he thought he'd found the real deal C D But now he's got his doubts [Chorus] Am B So it's over before it began Em But I could nurse you in the triage C D I could stick you with some pins Am B But it's hopeless, these rules make no sense Em D A First they say we can't be lovers C D And now they say we can't be friends [Solo] G Am G Am B C D [Verse] G Ruminations B This medicine don't work Em Had that same thought ten thousand times C D It's only getting worse G Swore off temptation B But what if it's what I really wanna do Em But how could I apologize C D For telling you the truth G There's a burnt out light bulb above my head B It's stolen my ideas Em There's a yearbook on the book shelf C D That can't explain the years G Well I never should have signed it B But you know summer's coming soon Em When I almost drowned you gave me mouth to mouth C D Beside your neighbor's pool [Chorus] Am B It was over before it began Em You could've left me in the water C D But you made me live again Am B And I'm sorry, I can't pay you back Em D A I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves C D But we just can't get attached [Outro] G Am G Am B Am G# D F# G
