Tim Barry - Avoiding catatonic surrender

It’s l^Conely in the Garden State the p^Amlace of no left turns In a mot^Fel 6 in East Brunswick smoking t^Gill my lungs burn I put i^Cce in the trash can to c^Amool down my beer Breathe in the p^Ferfume in the room of the p^Gerson last here I can’t s^Ctand this singing I can’t s^Amtand this song I can’t s^Ftand being home but I can’t^G stand being gone My ears r^Cing when it’s quiet and I ain’t heard a t^Amhing all day And I’d c^Fall if I could but right now I ain’t got^G nothing to say

And so ^Fon And so^G long ^CCan’t keep s^C/Binging these s^Amongs Too l^Fong ^G So ^Amon

The first n^Cight we met we fucked on the couch in ^Ammy living room And spent the m^Forning pretending it didn’t happen searching f^Gor your lost phone Which I f^Cound between the cushions below a ^Ampile of our clothes You said you co^Fuldn’t leave without it Lord, I should have^G kept my eyes closed I left for w^Cork directly then for a f^Amifteen hour day Made just o^Fver a hundred bucks none of w^Ghich I ever saved Didn’t hear too m^Cuch from you before never h^Ameard from you again Cause as s^Foon as this shit starts boy it’s,^G it’s bound to end

And so ^Fon And so^G long ^CCan’t keep s^C/Binging these s^Amongs Too l^Fong ^G So ^Amon

I throw empty b^Ceer cans at the TV when I’m w^Amatching the news I hate Re^Fpublicans, I hate Democrats I h^Gate liberals too I think p^Cacifists are weak and v^Amiolence is wrong But I go l^Fimp for police and I fight w^Ghen it’s called for The truth is ^CI don’t know or care with who or where I fit ^Amin at all But I k^Feep on living simple riding f^Gast and living slow I write s^Ctandard boring songs with b^Amoring standard chords Just like the b^Fest and the worst verse chorus, verse ch^Gorus, bridge, repeat

And so ^Fon And so^G long ^CCan’t keep s^C/Binging these s^Amongs Too l^Fong ^G So ^Amon And so ^Fon And so^G long ^CCan’t keep s^C/Binging these s^Amongs Too l^Fong ^G So ^Amon
