[Intro]
D A

[Verse 1]
G                   D
She was part of the Air Force,
                  A
I was part of the band
                 Bm        G        D
I always used to bust into her hand
A     Bm
G           D       A     Bm
 In my, my, my imagination
G               D
I was living my best life,
               A
living with my parents
               Bm
Way before the paying
               G            D     A
penance and verbal propellants
G            D        A
 And my, my, my cancellation, hm, yeah

[Instrumental]
G D A Bm
G D A


[Verse 2]
     G                    D
And I fell in love with a boy,
it was kinda lame
A                  Bm
 I was Rimbaud and he
       G           D  A
 was Paul Verlaine
G         D       A
 In my, my, my imagination
G              D              A
 So many cringes and heroin binges,
      A
I was coming off the hinges,
Bm
living on the fringes
  G        D       A
Of my, my, my imagination, oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Em G  A
     Enough about me now
Em G            A
     "You gotta talk about
     the people, baby"
Em G A
     But that's kind of the idea


[Chorus]
Bm                 A
At home, somewhere I don't like
G                   D
Eating stuff off of motorbikes
G                        F#
Coming to her lookalikes
Bm              A
I can't get the language right
     G                D     G D A D
Just tell me what's unladylike

[Verse 3]
            G          D
I know some Vaccinista tote
           A
bag chic baristas
                         Bm
Sitting in east on their communista
keisters
G         D               A
 Writing about their ejaculations
           G
"I like my men
               D
like I like my coffee
            A
Full of soy milk and so sweet,
           Bm
it won't offend anybody"
      G             D
Whilst staining the pages
       A     D
of the nation, oh, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
Em G   A
     A Xanax and a Newport
Em G              A
     "Well I take care of my kids",
         Em G A
she said

[Chorus]
    Bm              A
The worst inside of us begets
     G              D
That feeling on the internet
     G
It's like someone intended it
      A           F#
(Like advertising cigarettes)
  Bm             A
A diamond in the rough begets
G                  D      G       A
The diamond with a scruff you get

[Outro]
    G
Am I ironically woke?
    D
The butt of my joke?
      A
Or Am I just some post-coke,
Bm
average, skinny bloke
G            D        A
 Calling his ego imagination?
         G
I've not picked up that
     D                     A
in a thousand four hundred days
                   Bm
And nine hours and sixteen
minutes, babe
G                D        A      D
 It's kind of my daily iteration
G D A Bm
G D
