Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C

I was s’posed to be sent away

G

But they forgot to come and get me

Am

I was a functioning alcoholic

F

‘Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic

C

And all of this to say, I hope you’re okay

G

But you’re the reason

Am

And no one here’s to blame

F

But what about your quiet treason?

Chorus

C

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

G

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather

Am

Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors

F

Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

C

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

G

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather

Am

Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors

F

My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him

Verse 2

C

I love you, it’s ruining my life

G

I touched you for only a fortnight

Am

I touched you, but I touched you and it’s ruining my life

F

I haven’t come around in so long

C

But I’m coming right now

G

And I’m bringing you

Am F

All my pennies and my lipstick
