Chords
Anyway

 Db2 
I didn?t expect to see you here ?
I mean outside, smoking.
                                                                   Gb2 
I?m more of a nicorette girl these days.
 Ab 
I?m joking.
Dbsus
                                                             Gb 
But who feels like joking now?
 Ab       Gb2           Ab 
I?ll see you your scowl
 Ab 
And raise you a furrowed brow.
Anyway.
 Db2 
Anyway.
 Ab 
                        Dbsus
Do you remember how we used to read
 Ab 
Rilke, Joyce?
                Dbsus
                 Ab                       Db2 
But it gave us a voice
Or a language?
 Ab 
I don?t read poetry anymore.
                  Db2 
But if I did,
               Ab2                                           Bbm9 
I?d be reading it tonight for sure.
 Ab2  Ab   Ab2 
Oh. Oh.
                             Db2                           Ab 
I keep thinking about how the timing seems false.
                     Db2                                   Ab 
How some days seem faster than my fucking pulse.
         Db2 
And others go so slow.
                                 Gb2 
Like this morning
                                 Ab2 
Feels like a month ago.
 Gb2  Ab2 
Oh. Oh.
 Gb2  Ab2 
Oh. Oh.
 Ab2 
I feel like I?m underwater.
I feel like I?m underwater.
                 Ab 
I feel like I?m underwater.
Anyway.
 Db2 
Anyway.
 Ab 
There?s this building you pass
 Ab 
On the subway to Queens.
 Ab 
It?s on the L or the R or the one that?s green.
 Ab 
It?s covered in tags,
 Ab 
Bright hieroglyphics.
                                     Ab 
These fifteen-year-olds ?
They?re so fucking prolific.
                 Db2 
I?m commuting,
 Db2 
I?m eating my goddamn apple
And they?re secretly painting their Sistine Chapel.
                 Gb2  Ab  Gb2 
But whatever,
 Ab2     Ab           Ab2     Gb2  AbGb9M 
It?s like they know their odds.
 Db/F 
If you're gonna die young,
 Ebm7                         Ab2  Gb2  Ab   Gb2 
You'd better live like gods.
 Ab       Gb2 
Gods.
 Ab       Gb2 
Gods.
And me?
 Bbm7(11) 
I?m not doing anything.
 Ab 
I?m not helping or cleaning.
                                   Bbm7(11) 
I?m not even crying.
I?m not doing anything.
                                 Ab4 
She?d be so goddamn helpful.
                                                                   Ab 
Well, fuck her for dying ?cause I,
I?m not writing her elegy.
         Ab2 
Not me.
                                                     Ab 
I?m not writing that down.
 Ab7(4)                                     Bbm7(11) 
They would scrawl her name on a city wall
                   Ab 
But I?m a fucking clown.
                                 Gb2 
I?m making jokes
So I don?t drown.
                 Gb2 
I feel like I?m underwater.
                 Ab 
I feel like I?m underwater.
                 Gb2 
I feel like I?m underwater.
                 Ab 
I feel like I?m underwater.
                 Gb2 
Like the whole world is underwater.
                 Ab 
Like I?m screaming out underwater.
                 Gb2                                           Ab 
I feel like I?m underwater these days.
 Gb2  Db2 
Anyways.
Anyway.
                                     Db2 
I didn?t expect to see you here.
I mean ? thanks for coming.
                                                                       Gb2                         Ab 
I thought you?d oppose the use of religious rites as numbing.
 Db2 
I mean ? it is dumb.
                                                               Gb   Ab 
But what if she can hear them pray?
 Gb2     Ab 
I mean what the fuck do we know?

 Ab 
If there was anyway.
         Db2
