                                  F
     Through the same shit every night.
           C
     Oh, why? Oh, why?
         Am
     You always swear
     That it’s gonna change,
     But it never does.

Tell me that you’re gonna change
     C
Then act like this instead.
        Am
I’m too old to want somebody
             C
Who’s always switching up their friends.
F
I can’t make you love me
        C
But at least you could pretend
Am
Scripts gonna lead to fifths
          Em
Until I’m fucked out of my head.

              F
You play the same old songs,
C
I know that you’re different
        Am
In your Air Force Ones.
C
Filling my prescription,

I could bite your tongue.

Like I got an addiction, yeah.

I know it’s my fault,
C                      Am
I pick up your phone calls.
                     C
When it’s half past one
