[D] While we were on the subject, could we change the subject now?
I [G] was knocking on your ears, don't you know you were always [D] out?
Looking toward the future, you were begging for the past
Well, [G] we know we had the good things, but those never seemed to [D] last
Oh, please just last
[G]
[D] Everyone's unhappy, everyone's ashamed, well [G] we all just got out of looking at somebody [D] else's page.
Well nothing ever went quite exactly as we planned, our [G] ideas held no water but we used
them like a dam.
[D] Oh, when we [F#m] carried it all so [G] well, as if we got a new [D] position.
Oh, when I [F#m] laugh all the way to [G] hell, I say yes this is fine [D] promotion.
Oh, when I [F#m] laugh all the way to [G] hell.
[D] Of course everyone goes crazy, oh we're such and such a savage, we [G] made ourselves a pillar
but we just used it as a crutch.
[D] We were certainly uncertain, at least I'm pretty sure I am.
Well [G] we didn't need the water, no we just built that good [D] god damn.
Oh, [A] and I know this of [G] myself, I feel much for other [D] good people.
Oh, and [F#m] I know this of [G] myself, we've listened all our lives [D] to say oh man, but it [F#m] sounded
like sweet [G] defense.

[A] Was it ever worth it, was there all that much to gain?
Well we knew we'd miss the boat and we'd already missed the plane.
We [Bm] didn't read the invite, we just danced it all awake.
[D] All our favorites were a plane so we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
Honey, [D] heaven's open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands of tiny.
[G] Man would tell a little joke and we'd get on a tiny [D] lap of modern poetry sitting, dripping
round on bubbles then thinking it was us that carried down when [G] we finally got to figure
it out that we had truly missed the boat.
[D] Oh, and we [F#m] carried it all so [G] well, as if we got a new [D] position.
Oh, [F#m] and we owned all the tools [G] ourselves, without [Bm] the skills to make [D] a show with.
Oh, what [F#m] useless tools [G] ourselves.
