[Intro]
G Em D C
[Verse]
G Em
I lay down an awful wreck,
D C
pissing out my window and smoking in bed.
G Em
The good don't die young, they just haven't had time to
D C
fuck up the same as the rest of us yet.
G Em
I want nothing, nothing at all.
D C
I'd be driving drunk if I still got drunk.
G Em
Rev the ignition, straight on to oblivion.
D C
Into a void as pure as they come.
[Pre-Chorus]
G G
But if we aren't dead yet, then let's not live as ghosts and
Em Em
if we aren't in jail, then we can leave the house and
C C
I'll show you that there's reason to hope in
D D
the spray paint that's all over down town, so...
[Chorus]
C D
Let's fill up our shopping carts
G Em C
with the things we need and just roll out the front door,
D Em D
past the cashiers and security guards, wo-o-oah.
C D
But the magnets trip the wheel locks,
Em D C
before we even clear the parking lot,
D
and take off running through the neighbors yard.
[Verse]
G Em D C
G Em
I lay down an awful wreck,
D C
mumbling to myself about the government again.
G Em
Maybe postmodernism's an extended tantrum
D C
about how we don't have our flying cars yet.
G Em
I want nothing, nothing from them.
D C
I'd smash every machine if I didn't have one.
G Em
Rev the ignition, straight onto oblivion,
D C
into a void as pure as they come.
[Pre-Chorus]
G G
But if we aren't dead yet, then let's not live as ghosts and
Em Em
if we aren't in jail, then we can leave the house and
C C
I'll show you that there's reason to hope in
D D
the spray paint that's all over down town, so...
[Verse]
C D
Meet me at the diner at
G Em C
six o' clock on every Wednesday night,
D Em D
and we'll get some coffee and pie, wo-o-oah.
C D
And I'll smile, tip the waiter,
Em D C
get a ride home: "Thanks for the favor."
D
And hope that that's enough to build a life.
G Em D
C
Is this enough to build a life?
[Outro]
