you remind me of you
the way you shot right through and how
you broke my window glass,
fast it happened so fast
I have to confess that I
that I was impressed that I
that I was impressed that i
despite all the mess and the broken glass
I was impressed
(Same Chords as above)
here's where I disappeared
where I fell off the pier and to..
and to be rescued I did wait
I watched waterbugs skate
as they draw figure eights as they draw
from the bottom of the lake as they draw
I watched waterbugs skate as they draw
F G ---G--G{eot}
From the bottom of the lake I watched the waterbugs skate
memories like mohair sweaters
stretched and pilled faux distressed letters C/B
moose's horns and figure eights
white plastic bags in search of mates
what suffocates the land
in the memory of garbage can
memory of garbage can
you can't be found when the bell rings C
you weren't there that day for the naming of things C
the naming of things
The naming of things D/F#
where the homeroom bell rings G
the homeroom bell rings

hey, just look at the mess you made today
didn't really think it would get this bad
hey, feel like you're living in a Russian play
where it seems like you made everybody mad
(Same Chords as Verse 1)
you remind me of you
when you shot through
and broke my window glass
it happened so fast
I have to confess
I was impressed, I was impressed
despite all the mess and the broken glass
I was impressed
Repeat chorus
you can't be found when the bell rings
you weren't there that day for the naming of things
the naming of things
The naming of things
where the homeroom bell rings G
the homeroom bell rings
Its the naming of things G
the naming of--
