My absolute favorite song on the album, it's quite simply played yet incredibly
fun to play along. It's just a C and F the entire time (sounds best to play bar chords)

C
You know i do my best thinking when I'm flying down the bridge,
F
Humming to myself and kicking up my kicks.
C
Jiggling all around half-afraid for my life, I hope I don't crash like that night last summer,
F
Back when the bridge was just a wooden path, Bouncing around like he said it was 1956
C
Chorus:
F
I thought I'd learn from my mistakes, I thought he'd learn from my mistakes,
C
I thought you'd give me the right advice, I thought he let me in for one last time.
F C
F
The planks rattle around like an old-timey movie,
In tube-top and shorts that Vice called "pull-me-down"
C
she's got kind of a native vibe before that was so cool
F
She's got kind of a native vibe before I even knew who was who
C
And he's ignoring me like it's 2001
F
Why keep time traveling if it doesn't get better on the second time around
C
Why keep time traveling if it doesn't get better on the second time around
Chorus:
F
I thought I'd learn from my mistakes, I thought he'd learn from my mistakes,
C
I thought you'd give me the right advice, I thought he let me in for one last time.
F C
F
I wore the same outfit on the day the Hasid
Followed me in his car along Park, not Avenue,
C
But the one in Brooklyn, on an early Sunday morning,
I'm carrying an umbrella and talking on the phone
F
My mom said run, and I ran,
I crashed down Baker, cut my head and my knees
C
The ambulance was called by a guy his friend called Guru
F
They were visiting from California, and I swear they,
I swear they, I swear they,
C
I swear they saved my life
Chorus: (x2)
F
I thought i'd learn from my mistakes, I thought he'd learn from my mistakes,
C
I thought you'd give me the right advice, I thought he let me in for one last time.
Outro: F C (repeat until fade)
