D G Bm
Yeah, I've got friends who wanna catch up on old times
G Em Bm A
But that just makes me feel ashamed to be me
D G Bm
And I've got friends who wanna relive the past
G Bm
And deify memories
G Bm
And they just scream to me
D D/C#
That if you don't die young
G
You're gonna live too long.
On the stoop of the apartment next to my shitty job
An old friend passed me on the street today
I said "Hello" and tried to catch up on old times
She walked the other way.
Maybe I seemed to scream
Em G
That if I got cancer or somebody shot me
D A
I'd be like a child or something,
Em G
Asking doctors to do me favors
D A
or cross my fingers and hope it gets better
Em G
Like a broken record, I seem to scream,
If you don't die young, you're gonna live too long.
D G
D
I was getting drunk in a foreign ocean
G
Trying to wrap my head around problems
Bm E
And all my bitterness just seemed passe.
D
Because I realized as soon as I said it
G
How long it'd take to swim from Jones Beach to Indonesia
Bm
And maybe you're waiting on a call from me.
D
And maybe you're working in a crowded restaurant
G
And you're the one who's got a life so fucked up
Bm E
that you don't know what happened.
Just like you saw me working at some restaurant
Embarrassed 'cause my life was just so fucked up.
And I don't know how it happened.
