You started a fire
E G#m
That was never supposed to burn out
A B
You started a band
E G#m
That was cool for a while, but it turned pretty bland
A B
I started a fight
E G#m
With a neighbor next door and his pesky wife
A B
You started a job
E G#m
That you hate when you’re sober, and hate even more when you’re not.
A B
And I know, you hate me too;
A B E B C#m B A
You always say you do.
A B E
You moved to Japan
E G#m
Thought a clean bill of health and a camera could show you the plan

I bought a bird
E G#m

You found a guy
E G#m
That is clearly the opposite of me, with a black motorbike

I dicked around
E G#m
But it’s just like a movie whose picture is off with the sound.
A B
And I know, you hate me too;
A B E B C#m B A
You always say you do.
A B E
You started to write
E G#m
It was subtle at first, but the danger was clearly inside

I don’t reply
E G#m
Due to lack of an ego, and laziness, it cuts like a knife
A B
You say that you’re good
E G#m
Had a baby with biker, and named him “Forest Whitaker”
A B
I’m laying low
E G#m
On the probable chance you convince me to give him a home
A B
And I know, you hate me too;
A B E B C#m B A
You always say you do.
A B E
And I know, you hate me too;
A B E B C#m B A
You always say you do.
