[G] [E] [Em]
[G] [Em] I look [C] up and what do you see?
[G] All of you and all of [Em] me, flushing stars.
[Bm] Some of them they [G] surprised.
The bus ride and when to write this, 4am this [Em] letter.
The fields are poppiest, little pearls.
[G] All the boys and all [Em] the girls, sweet tooth, each and [Bm] every one, a little scary.
[C] [G] Who said your [Em] name?

[Em]
[C] Will you live to [G] 83?
[Em] Will you ever [Bm] welcome [C] me?
Will you [G] show me something that nobody else can [Em] see?
Smoke out, dream, here [G] comes the flood.
Anything to [Bm] thin the blood, these [G] corrosives do their magic slowly.
[Em] Phone, eat out, [C] dream, [G] just another chain.
[Em] Cuts and dents, they catch the [Bm] light.
[C] Aluminum, [G] you can [E] slay.
[Em] I don't want to disappoint [C] you, I'm not [G] here to annoy you.
[Em] I would lick your pee-pees at [E] the sickest move.
