As I d^Cesatur^Gate the f^Amertile greens, I ^Fwanna tell you I Don't ^Cperpetu^Gate these w^Amestern schemes but I c^Fan't stop laughing at The ^Cshortsighte^Gdness of chi^Amldhood dreams where we're^F all young astronauts.

The ^Ctruth is it^G sucks bein^Amg young and ^Ein love. When you're ^Fold you're just^Dm bummed that you'l^Fl never ^Dmbe happy enough.

Swim ^Cin water^Gfalls while ^Amparents sleep^F; emerge with spider bites. Fear^Clessly e^Gxploring ne^Amw countries, I c^Frashed my motorbike. I wanted ^Cto outline the s^Gcar in t^Amattoo ink. It looked ^Flike a polar bear or Africa. But the ^Cscar went^G away and m^Amy memori^Ees changed. No, it ^Fwouldn't be^Dm great to b^Fe back ^Dmin 1998.

^CI've been treating my body. ^ELike I never worry that^Am I'm gonna die ^FBecause you would forgive me. ^CI've been treating my body. ^ELike I, like I'm worried That ^AmI'm gonna^G die and yo^Fu're gonna^Dm forget my name. ^C

So ^Amwhat do we get for the^G friends we've met and th^Dme ones we love ^Fat home? Yeah, ^Amwhat do we get for the^G friends we've met and th^Dme one we’ve le^Fft alone?

We're gonna ^Cgive 'em a trip to the hospital. We're gonna ^Egive 'em the bill for the funeral. We're gonna ^Amgive 'em the debt from our student loans. We're gonna ^Fgive 'em what's left of the shit we owned.

We're gonna ^Cgive 'em a trip to the hospital. We're gonna ^Egive 'em the bill for the funeral.

That ^AmI'm gonna^G die an^Fd you're gonna ^Dmforget my name. ^AmI'm gonna^G die an^Fd you're gonna ^Dmforget my name. ^AmI'm gonna^G die an^Fd you're gonna ^Dmforget^C my name.

So ^Amwhat do we get for the^G friends we've met and th^Dme ones we love ^Fat home? Yeah, ^Amwhat do we get for the^G friends we’ve met and th^Dme one we've le^Fft alone?
