        A#
Let's catch up on Thursday,
if it's not too soon to talk
                  Dm
Cause, I've been bored of all
the silent treatment ever since you walked
                 Gm           C
Now, all I do is wait for you
                 D#
And all I do is wait for you, hmm

I threw a party for my twentieth,
invited half the town
I know it's so unlike me,
but on the off-chance, you'd come around?
All I do is root for you
Cause, all I do is root for you

    Gm     F  A#  D#   Gm        F       A#     D#
And I was kinda hoping you were kind of broken too

Chorus:
        D#                                   A#
How on earth– How on earth do you hold it together?
            F                             Gm  Dm
Doesn't it mess you up a bit? Doesn't it hurt?
        D#
Let it burn, this is hell on earth
                         A#
and you're enjoying the weather
             F
One for the team, I'll take the hit
         C/E
Do your worst

                  D#
La-da die, da-da die
                  A#
La-da die, da-da die

Are you free this Thursday?
We've got so much left unsaid
Or just send more cryptic messages
Why would we waste our breath?
When all I do is yearn for you
And all I do is yearn for you, hmm

I thought, maybe if I dyed my hair
I'd feel more independent
But it's nothing like the picture
on the box, now I regret it
Tearing off the shower curtain
I've only made it worse
And now all I do is curse for you

And I was kinda hoping
You were kind of lonely too

Chorus:
How on earth– How on earth do you hold it together?
Doesn't it mess you up a bit?
Doesn't it hurt?
Let it burn, this is hell on
earth and you're enjoying the weather
One for the team, I'll take the hit
Do your worst

La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die

         F  Dm D#
How on earth–
        Gm               Dm          D#   A#
And the band played that song you remember
        Gm             Dm
It was earth, wind and fire
    D#   A#
September
  Gm         Dm              D#    A#
Bm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm
  Gm         Dm              A#
Bm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm

Chorus:
How on earth– How on earth do you hold it together?
Doesn't it mess you up a bit? Doesn't it hurt?
Let it burn, this is hell on earth
and you're enjoying the weather
One for the team, I'll take the hit
Do your worst

La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die

La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
