    A#m7                           F#
So happy I was invited, give me a reason
                  C#
to get out of the city
F#                         C#
See you inside watching swarms on TV
          D#
Livin' or dyin' in New York it means nothing to me

      A#m7                           F#
Gave my heart to the Army, the only sentimental
               C#
thing I could think of
     F#                          C#
With cousins and colors and somewhere overseas
          D#
But it'll take a better war to kill
a college man like me

A#m7              C#                 F#
I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway
                  C#
right now do you care if I stay?
F#                   C#
You can put on your bathing suits
           D#
And I'll try to find somethin'
on this thing that means nothin' enough

A#m                F#             C#
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
F#                 C#              D#
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Chorus:
A#m                           C#
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
F#                    C#
I want to sit in and die
F#                           C#
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
D#
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
A#m                           C#
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
F#                    C#
I want to sit in and die
F#                           C#
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
D#
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

This pricey stuff makes me dizzy
I guess I've always been a delicate man
It takes me a day to remember a day
I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
I was a comfortable kid
But I don't think about it much anymore
Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
And we can say that we invented a summer
lovin' torture party

I'm too tired to drive anywhere
Anyway right now, do you care if I stay?
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find something on this thing
that means nothin' enough

Chorus

A#m                             D#
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
