C#
Hey,
D#               Fm7
I was doing just fine before I met you.
D#          C#
I drink too much, and that’s an issue,
D#          Fm7 D#
But I’m okay.
C#
Hey,
D#            Fm7
You tell your friends
                          D#
It was nice to meet them,
      C#                D#      Fm7 D#
But I hope, I never see them again.

  C#                D#
   I know it breaks your heart
   Fm7                          D#
   Moved to the city in a broke down car.
      C#          D#
   And four years no calls.
   Fm7                              D#
   Now you’re looking pretty in a hotel bar
       C#         D#      Fm7  D#
   And I, I-I, I-I can’t stop.
       C#         D#      Fm7  D#
   No, I, I-I, I-I can’t stop.

Chorus:
         C#               D#
     So, baby, pull me closer
            Fm7                 D#
     In the back seat of your Rover,
            C#                     D#
     That I know you can’t afford.
               Fm7                D#
     Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
              C#                      D#
     Pull the sheets right off the corner
             Fm7                      D#
     Of that mattress, that you stole
               C#                   D#
     From your roommate back in Boulder.
              Fm7           D#
     We ain’t ever getting older.

   D#         Fm7            D#
     We ain’t ever getting older.

   D#         Fm7            D#
     We ain’t ever getting older.

C# D#
You,
        Fm7                   D#
Look as good as the day I met you.
     C#
I forget just why I left you,
D#      Fm7   D#
I was insane.
C#
Stay,
D#            Fm7       D#
And play that Blink-182 song,
        C#                  D#      Fm7 D#
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay.

  C#                D#
   I know it breaks your heart
   Fm7                          D#
   Moved to the city in a broke down car.
      C#          D#
   And four years no call.
   Fm7                           D#
   Now I’m looking pretty in a hotel bar
       C#         D#      Fm7  D#
   And I, I-I, I-I can’t stop.
       C#         D#      Fm7  D#
