[Verse 1]
F
 I was supposed to
    G
be sent away,
     Em
 But they forgot to
           Am
come and get me
F
 I was a functioning
 G
 alcoholic
              Em
 till nobody noticed
            Am
my new aesthetic
F               G
 All of this to say,
                 Em
 I hope you're okay,
                  Am
but you're the reason
F           G
 And no one here's to
            C
blame, but what about
       Am
your quiet treason?

[Chorus]
           F
 And for a fortnight there,
         G
 we were forever
                 C
 Running to you, sometimes
            Am
asked about the weather,
                  F
 Now you're in my backyard
            G
 Turned into good neighbors
                  C
 Your wife waters flowers
           Am
 I want to kill her

[Verse 2]
F                    G
 All my mornings are Mondays
             Em
 Stuck in an endless
      Am
 February
F
 I took the miracle
 G
 move on drug
      Em                Am
 The effects were temporary
       F
 And I love you,
      G
it's ruining my life
    Em
 (I love you, it's
 Am
ruining my life)
   F           G
 I touched for only
 a fortnight
    C
 (I touched you) But
   Am
I touched you

[Chorus]
           F
 And for a fortnight
               G
there, we were forever
                 C
 Running to you, sometimes
             Am
asked about the weather,
                  F
 Now you're in my backyard
            G
 Turned into good neighbors
                  C
 Your wife waters flowers
           Am
 I want to kill her
           F
 And for a fortnight there,
         G
 we were together
                 C
 Running to you, sometimes
           Am
 comment on my sweater,
                   F
 Now you're at the mailbox
            G
 Turned into good neighbors
               C
 My husband is cheating
           Am
 I want to kill him

[Bridge]

 my life)

 I touched for only
a fortnight
   Em
 I touched yo    Amu,

 And I love you,
      C
it's ruining my life
    Em
 (I love you, it's
 Am
 ruining my life)
   F           C
 I touched for only
a fortnight
   Em
 I touched you,
   Am
I touched you

[Outro]
     F
 I'm calling you,
          C
 but you won't pick up
         Em
 Another fortnight
           Am
 lost in America
         F
 Move to Florida,
         C
buy the car you want
        Em
 But it won't start up
           Am
till you touch, touch,
 touch me
     F
 I'm calling you,
         C
but you won't pick up
         Em
 Another fortnight
          Am
 lost in America
         F
 Move to Florida,
         C
 buy the car you want
        Em
 But it won't start up
        Am
till I touch, touch,
touch you
