Am
All I really know is that I'm
G
Never coming home
         Am                           C
And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you so

          Am
I'm gonna go and get an internship
      G
and then I'll get a job
               B                                Em E
and then I'll pack all of my shit up and fucking go

Chorus:
            C
I'll go to Mexico
            G
I'll go to Canada
            Am                B        Em E
I'll mail myself to New York City in a box
              Am            D
You'll never hear from me again
            G
Save for an envelope I'll send
            C              B7
Containing fifteen billion dollars and
                     G
some photographs of dogs

For half of my short life I've kept a drawer
in my room
For all the little trinkets I consider gold
Photographs, bottle caps, lanyards, flowers,
crumbled maps
Things that look particularly old
The plan has always been that I should
throw them out the window
If the building were to catch on fire
given the dogs are safe outside
But the drawer is full of trash and
I could turn it all to ashes
For the fleeting joy I'd get from
adding more smoke to the sky

Chorus:
I'll go to Mexico, I'll go to Canada
I'll mail myself to New York City in a box
You'll never hear from me again
Save for an envelope I'll send
Containing fifty billion dollars
and some photographs of dogs

Well, sharks are smooth if you pet them one way
They are spiky pet the other
And my mom said that if they stop
moving they'll die
Hammerheads swim past
I've got my face up against the glass
As I whisper to my sisters "as will I"

Chorus:
I'll go to Mexico, I'll go to Canada
I'll mail myself to New York City in a box
They'll never hear from me again
Save for an envelope I'll send
Containing fifty billion dollars
and some photographs of dogs
