G#m                  E        G#m                            E
Sometimes I want to quit this all and become an ac countant now
But I'm no good at math and besides, the dollar is down
G#m                  C#m
Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold
I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old

F#               G#m                E
I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
F#                  G#m                     E
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

Chorus:
              G#m        E               B            F#
You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital, I know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out now

All the yes-men said "no comment," my mouth got going
The wrong way and all the calls started snowi-i-ing
The time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab
And I asked him if throwing it back into
the sea would bring our luck back

I want to scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

Chorus:
You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital, I know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports, get out now

G#m                            E
Tell that boy I'll leave you alone
G#m                         E
Like a stove, I'll turn my love down
G#m                                                 E
Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls

I want to scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me, whoa
I want to scream "I love you" from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

Chorus:
You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital,
I know we're gonna leave this town
(Know we're gonna leave this town)
And get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out
Get, get, get, get, get out now!
