C#           D#m                        F#
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
C#                   D#m          Fm        F#         (C#/F)
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
C#               D#m  Fm            F#               (C#/F)
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
     D#m          F#        C#
For reasons wretched and divine

She blows out of nowhere, a roman candle of the wild
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
And Lord, she found me just in time

               A#m      F           F#
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
                B                          C     C#
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young

Chorus:
C#         D#m                F#
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
C#       D#m                    F#
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
A#m           Fm            F#
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
C#         D#m                      F#
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
We'd sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust
We tried the world; good God, it wasn't for us

Chorus

Cut clean from the dream at night, let my mind reset
Looking up from a cigarette, she's already left
I start digging up the yard for what's
left of me in our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is coming next

Chorus
