[Verse]
G      C
woke up it’s 2021
Em
I wanna get texts
D
but I never wanna text back
G       C
f**k man, I’m 2020 done
Em
another paycheck
D
and I blew it but I’m still sad

[Pre Chorus]
G      D            Em
We talk all of the time
       C                    Em
but it still feels like I’m just
  Em           C
a voice on the line
So

[Chorus]
G         C
If you wanna come over
Em           D
watch friends and then get high
G          C
use my phone as a coaster
Em          D
we’ll travel back in time
G             C
lights on the ceiling
Em               D
we’re more than a feeling
G         C
if you wanna come over
Em         D
act like it’s 1999
