It doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you
D#m G# F#
And that summer only lasted one day

I'm in the mirror with the Rickenbacker twelve string
C# A#m Fm
My good friend who can really understand
C# A#m Fm
But everyone's got relationship problems

I'm in the mirror with my best friend twelve string
D#m G# F#
The day that you will love me, will never arrive
[Chorus]
A#m G#
We were almost it
D#m F#
We almost went somewhere
A#m G# D#m
Charm of the tear-down left behind

Not to be who I am

Takes a lot of work this time
A#m G# D#m
To lock everything back up inside
[Verse 4]

Trying to worship sixties California

In our not so contemporary ways

The lazy eye of the sun comes up slowly
D#m G# F#
And a million candle-lit cities disappear
[Verse 6]

Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you
C# A#m Fm
It doesn't matter if I live or die
C# A#m Fm
Doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you
Aaaahh, Aaaah
D#m G# F# C#
But it doesn't matter that I love your smile
