Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
That was never supposed to burn out
You started a band
That was cool for a while, but it turned pretty bland
I started a fight
With a neighbor next door and his pesky wife
You started a job
That you hate when youre sober, and hate even more when youre not.
And I know, you hate me too;
You always say you do.
You moved to Japan
Thought a clean bill of health and a camera could show you the plan
I bought a bird
That repeats what I say, but, Im lonely is all that hes heard.
You found a guy
That is clearly the opposite of me, with a black motorbike
I dicked around
But its just like a movie whose picture is off with the sound.
And I know, you hate me too;
You always say you do.
You started to write
It was subtle at first, but the danger was clearly inside
I dont reply
Due to lack of an ego, and laziness, it cuts like a knife
You say that youre good
Had a baby with biker, and named him Forest Whitaker
Im laying low
On the probable chance you convince me to give him a home
And I know, you hate me too;
You always say you do.
And I know, you hate me too;
You always say you do.
