[Verse 1]
CScared of everything
Everything's on blast
AmNever travel light
I carry the past
Am/EIn an armored car
That's my skeleton
C/GWorship one idea
Like a superfan
CIn a gallery
With a slanted view
AmThere's a book signing
Dystopian haikus
Am/EAs they're read out loud
Under Edison lights
C/GMakes me scratch my head
And think of simpler times C

[Chorus 1]
F5/G* G5/A* C/F#
Borrowed a car for the day
F5/G* G5/A* Am G C/G
We drove it out to The Rock a ways
Am/EAnd you went swimming
Am/EI watched you swimming
(*Riff) C
[Verse 2]
CI'm made of money now
There's nothing I want
AmExcept expensive wine
To watch the rocket launch
Am/EWe'll climb up on the roof
And sit in plastic chairs
C/GWatch it accelerate
Until it disappears
CJust like your goodbye voice
Trailing off down the hall
AmI love you, baby
I'll be back in one hour
Am/EYou'll try and smile then
Sometimes it doesn't stick
C/GI'll help you tune it out
I'll help you reminisce C

[Chorus 2]
F5/G* G5/A* C/F#
Borrowed a car for the day
F5/G* G5/A* Am G C/G
Filled it up with some friends I'd made
And they went Am/Edancing
Am/EI watched them dancing
(*Riff) C
[Bridge]
Em/F#Don't feel badly
F5/G*
I'm barely angry
G5/A* C/G
It's not too much to contain
Em/F#Always knew that
F5/G*
It'd probably happen
G5/A* C/G C
We'd put these memories to shame

[Chorus 3]
F5/G* G5/A* C/F#
Borrowed a car for the day
F5/G* G5/A* Am G C/G
Gassed it up for our get a way
Said you'd be Am/Ewaiting
Am/EI left you waiting
(*Riff) C
