[Verse 1]F#D#
Parisian revelry
F#D#
Unapologetic apathy
F#mF#
I guess it’s the way it has to be
F#D#
Made my bed and I brushed my teeth
F#D#
Didn’t think about dying
F#mF#
Got up to face another day

[Chorus]B
Maybe you’re the same
F#
Maybe you’re afraid too
B
I love you
F#
I am you
[Verse 2]F#D#
Chopped the celery and made
the soup
F#D#
Didn’t have much else to do
F#mF#
I was dreaming of my ex-wife’s face
F#D#
It’s just painful to walk around
F#D#
It’s just painful to talk out loud
F#mF#
I know this pain is not my own
F#D#
Felt so hot in the parking lot
F#D#
The car windows were all rolled up
F#mF#
Just a dog dying in the Chevrolet
