D Em D/F# G A Hello, there's a place I've been going D Em D/F# G A There's a place I've been going D Em D/F# G Now I'm clean, it would seem A Let's go somewhere I'll be seen D Em D/F# G As sad as it seems A I've seen Greg and he was like "I seen your friends at the birthday party They were kinda fucked up before it even started They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show They didn't know about all the weird stuff So they just left it" (So they just left it) I was wasted (I was wasted) And cold And minding my business And I seen the girls and they were all like "Do you wanna come and get fucked up?" Listen, I got myself a missus, says there can't be any kissing "No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it" "This ain't going well" I thought that I was stuck in Hell In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel About her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well You pulled away when I went in for the kiss No, it wasn't a diss You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss After four years, don't you think I'm over all this? "That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room He's gotta share for a bit" You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby To get things that they don't have Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya? You know that I could sue ya if we're married And you fuck up again Impress myself with stealth and bad health And my wealth and progressive causes Then drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it Look, the fucking state of it I came pretty late to it We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture All your friends In one place Oh, we're a scene Whatever that means I depend On my friends To stay clean As sad as it seems As sad as it seems (Alright) As sad as it seems (Come on) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D Em F# G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
