          C              Em
Are you free tonight to watch The O.C.?
F
This is protocol
I need you here beside me
         C               Em
I've been paralysed for more than a week
F
But don't let it scare you
This is fairly routine

G            Am             G
Soon, I'll break out this cocoon
              F              C
And take the car out for a drive
Am             G
We'll play cassettes
                             C
Share cigarettes out in the half-light
Am            G           Em                  F
Maybe, I'll blossom into something you might like
       Am
Lie-de-die
       G
Lie-de-die
        F
Lie-de-die

Chorus:
          C                  Em
I'm just going through something
    F
Uh-huh
          C                  Em
I'm just going through something
    F
Uh-huh

Are you free tonight to help pass the evening?
We'll drink our body weight
'Til we forget our feelings
I'll be swimming in the pools of your fragrance
When you're in proximity, I'm totally weightless

Now I've become a taxidermy version of myself
The laundry's piling up
The plants are dying on the shelf (Ooh-ooh-oh)
You said you'd give me both your kidneys
If I cried for help
Like, Jesus Christ, calm down!

(Soon, I'll) Break out this cocoon
And take the car out for the night
We'll play cassettes
Share cigarettes out in the half-light
Maybe, I'll blossom into something twice as bright
Lie-de-die
Lie-de-die
Lie-de-die

Chorus:
I'm just going through something
Ah-huh
I'm just going through something
Ah-huh

              D               F
So don't you keep me on your mind
         C         Edim7
Another minute more
           D               F
Don't you keep me on your mind
       C                 Em
Are you free tonight to watch The O.C.?
F
This is protocol
I need you here beside me

Chorus:
I'm just going through something
Uh-huh
I'm just going through something
Uh-huh

I'm just going through something
Going through something
Uh-huh
