Bm                    D              G             D
Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department
           G                  D              A
She said, "I should take you with me when I leave"
Bm                 D              G           D
We were searchin' New York for a fancy, new apartment
            G               D              A
She said, "Central Park in Sea World for trees"

Chorus:
    G             D/F#              A
You ask about the cows wearin' my sweater
     Bm          A        G            D/F#           A
It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down
    G           D/F#              A         Bm      A     Em D/F# G
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together

I like socks with sandals, she's more into scented candles
Oh, I'll never get that smell out of my bag
It was poorly handled
The day we both got canceled
Because I'm a racist and you're some kind of slag

Chorus

Bm               D                  G              D
"I'm better at writin'" was just a way to get you bitin'
          G               D           A
Oh, the truth is that our egos are absurd
Bm                 D
I thought we were fightin'
        G              D
But it seems I was gaslightin' you
    G              D               A
I didn't know that it had its own word

Chorus:
You still ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's something about the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
