You started a fire
F Am
That was never supposed to burn out
A# C
You started a band
F Am
That was cool for a while, but it turned pretty bland
A# C
I started a fight
F Am
With a neighbor next door and his pesky wife
A# C
You started a job
F Am
That you hate when you’re sober, and hate even more when you’re not.
A# C
And I know, you hate me too;
A# C F C Dm C A#
You always say you do.
A# C F
You moved to Japan
F Am
Thought a clean bill of health and a camera could show you the plan
A# C
I bought a bird
F Am
That repeats what I say, but, “I’m lonely” is all that he’s heard.
A# C
You found a guy
F Am
That is clearly the opposite of me, with a black motorbike
A# C
I dicked around
F Am
But it’s just like a movie whose picture is off with the sound.
A# C
And I know, you hate me too;
A# C F C Dm C A#
You always say you do.
A# C F
You started to write
F Am
It was subtle at first, but the danger was clearly inside
A# C
I don’t reply
F Am
Due to lack of an ego, and laziness, it cuts like a knife
A# C
You say that you’re good
F Am
Had a baby with biker, and named him “Forest Whitaker”
A# C
I’m laying low
F Am
On the probable chance you convince me to give him a home
A# C
And I know, you hate me too;
A# C F C Dm C A#
You always say you do.
A# C F
And I know, you hate me too;
A# C F C Dm C A#
You always say you do.
A# C F
