[Intro]
Bm D G D
G D A

[Verse 1]
Bm                 D
Our first kiss was Christmas in
     G             D
 the Walmart toy department
           G
She said, "I should take you
 D              A
 with me when I leave"
Bm                D
We were searchin' New York
       G           D
for a fancy, new apartment
           G
She said, "Central Park in
 D             A
 Sea World for trees"

[Chorus]
    G             D
You ask about the cows wearin'
     A
 my sweater
     Bm         A        G
It's somethin' about the weather
      D              A
 that makes them lie down
    G           D
The only time I feel I might get
 A         Bm      A
 better is when we are
          Em F#m G
together

[Instrument]
Bm D G D
G D A

[Verse 2]
Bm                D
I like socks with sandals,
             G            D
 she's morе into scented candles
    G
Oh, I'll nеver get that
 D               A
 smell out of my bag
Bm            D
It was poorly handled
    G               D
The day we both got canceled
        G                D
Because I'm a racist and you're
              A
 some kind of slag

[Chorus]
    G             D
You ask about the cows wearin'
    A
 my sweater
     Bm         A        G
It's somethin' about the weather
      D              A
that makes them lie down
    G           D
The only time I feel I might
    A         Bm      A
get better is when we are
          Em F#m G
 together    (Oh, together)

[Bridge]
Bm             D
"I'm better at writin'"
            G              D
 was just a way to get you bitin'
        G
Oh, the truth is that
     D          A
our egos are absurd
Bm                D
I thought we were fightin'
       G              D
But it seems I was gaslightin' you
  G                D
I didn't know that it
             A
had its own word

[Chorus]
          G              D
You still ask about the cows
            A
 wearin' my sweater
     Bm         A        G
It's something about the weather
      D                   A
 that makes them lie down
    G           D
The only time I feel I might get
  A         Bm      A
 better is when we are
           Em F#m G
together
