Walter Etc. - Boomer Etc.
[Verse 1]
E A
Boomer, look at me back living with my parents
C#m B
making an appearance as a guest in my highschool bed
E A
bored with myself and predictable depression
C#m
my same old chord progressions
B E
but my lyrics were better back then
[Bridge]
A
Oh well
C#m
my fault
B E
it will only get worse with age
A C#m
But I will make art
B
until it kills me
E
[Verse 2]
E
Gotta sneak away for a smoke
A
old friends seem formal, not stoked
C#m B
either you lost your sense of humor or they don’t get your jokes
E
they all quit smoking these days
A
in fact, you’re the last one
C#m B
chiefed a lonely little spliff on the front porch
[Verse 3]
E A
It's a lousy mess of adulthood
C#m B
looking for a job on craigslist like I should
E A
Got my resume just today as spruced up with lies
C#m B
cause I don’t want to work in retail for the rest of my life, no....
E
[Bridge]
A
Oh well
C#m
my fault
B E
I can always sell lemonade
A C#m
but I will make art
B
until it kills me
[Chorus]
A
Boomer you’re my last good friend
E B
Your too soon old, too short on time
A
Rest your achy bones in your bed
E B
enjoy your final curtsy of life
C#m A
Your death will be a real heartbreaker
E B
I assume it’s only natural I guess
A B
No less a bummer
[Verse 4]
E A
Keep in good health and keep up with your peers
C#m B
Gotta reinvent yourself, don't be the redundant adjective
E A
Nobody cares about your travels
C#m B
So you sound like your bragging about the countries you've been in but
E A
I can recall a day when you knew my middle name and
C#m B
we mostly felt the same now
E
that kind of magic can only exist in the
A
mothballs of memory
C#m
and your eyes roll at me like
B
"go tell it to your family dog"
[Chorus]
A
Cause Boomer you’re my last good friend
E B
I can tell you can tell I'm leaving again
A
Just hang in there a few more months
E B
I swear I'll make it worth it for you
C#m A
A belly rub to end all the pain
E B
now close your eyes, if this is goodbye
A B
just know I love you.
E
