[Em] _ The [A] other morning over coffee you told me [B] that lately you have been looking in the mirror
_ [Em] _ _ and [B] smiling back at a fellow soldier who is fighting the good fight against the big, [A] sad,
empty [G] inside.
And that [E] that may not be happiness, [Em] but it's as close as someone like you gets.
[C#m] And I believe you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ Because [C#m] I've listened to all of your bullshit [E] theories about how you're gonna get it together.
_ _ And every one of [C#m] them involves some future turning point [E] where you became a completely different person.
[B] _ _
[A] But the other morning [B] over coffee, all you were [E] talking about was dealing with the person
you're probably [B] always gonna be.
_ Isn't that something?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em]
you remember that time we were both drunk off our [E] ass and we were talking about how
we had lived [E] lives so full of poetry and adventure that if we [B] died right then and there it would
have been fine.
And it would have been [B] fine only we [F#m] did not die and we woke up [B] so hungover it felt [F#] like
little furry creatures had crawled into our mouths and [Em] then died. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I do. _
[E] _ And then there was your grand idea about how all of her imperfections were [Em] perfect for
you because they shoved you [C#m] off your spot and they forced you to [B] grow to change as a
human being and then the next night you said [A] I cannot [D#m] live for one more minute under the
roof with this crazy self-destructive chaotic killjoy.
[E] _ _ _
_ [F#] All right well [B] there it is right? _ _
And I say.

[C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [B] You've always taken pains to say [E] thank you for listening to these sad sex stories and
at this point in our friendship I believe I can honestly say [B]
you're welcome.
_ I'm a pretty good listener.
I get it from my mother.
[A] But there is one [B] thing that has always bothered me [E] about this whole friendship.
There is one thing [Em] that I believe I owe it to you to say.

[E] _ _ I'm just swimming upstream.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm only swimming [B] upstream _ _ _ _ like you for the life of me.
[D#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [B] We're only swimming [E] upstream. _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm only swimming [C#m] upstream.
[C#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] I'm just swimming [B] upstream _ _ _ _ like you for the life of me.
_ [D#] _ Like you [C#] for the life [B] of me.
_ _ For the life of me. _
