  I'm like a watch, I'm unwinding
  like a clock

It's okay if I don't know
          G
what the time is
Bm            Am
  I just woke up from drinkin',
  G
  had half a cup
       Em                   F#7
The universe is trying to remind me
Bm          Am          G
  Give me a pen, I need writing,
  another ending
   Bm
It didn't turn out the
     Am    G
that way I wanted
Bm          Am       G
  I had the armor, I wore it much
  in the summer
        Em
But the arrow hit me right
          F#7
where the heart is

Bm          Am             G
  He was so cute, I was so ready
  to be sure
     Bm               Am
So I let him keep her under
    G
the surface
(keep her under the surface)

For a man who is a boy and he
does not deserve this
