[Verse 1]
DScared of everything
Everything's on blast
BmNever travel light
I carry the past
Em7In an armored car
That's my skeleton
GWorship one idea
Like a superfan
DIn a gallery
With a slanted view
BmThere's a book signing
Dystopian haikus
Em7As they're read out loud
Under Edison lights
GMakes me scratch my head
And think of simpler timesD D Em G
[Chorus 1]
GBorrowed a car Afor the dayF#m
GWe drove it Aout to TBmhe RockAawaysG
Em7And you went swimming
I watched you swimming

[Verse 2]
DI'm made of money now
There's nothing I want
BmExcept expensive wine
To watch the rocket launch
Em7We'll climb up on the roof
And sit in plastic chairs
GWatch it accelerate
Until it disappears
DJust like your goodbye voice
Trailing off down the hall
BmI love you, baby
I'll be back in one hour
Em7You'll try and smile then
Sometimes it doesn't stick
GI'll help you tune it out
I'll help you reminisceD D Em G
[Chorus 2]
GBorrowed a carA for the daF#my
GFilled it upA with some Bmfriends AI'd madeG
Em7And they went dancing
I watched them dancing
