[Verse]
A#m
If you’re just asking for a reason
F#
Reasons are everywhere you look
G# Fm
The only difference between them
A#m F#
Are which you gave and which you took
[Verse]
A#m
Every smile with some dark anticipation
F#
And dreams of back before it settled in their brows
G# Fm
I don’t remember when I first began to notice
A#m F# [Main Riff]
But I can’t think about it now
[Main Riff]
I can’t think about it now
[Verse]
A#m
The latest singer’s latest single’s got me listening
F#
For the pact between the writer and the star
G# Fm
This is how mythology is written
A#m F#
This is where the lawless jungles are
[Verse]
A#m
She’s just a singer living mostly after midnight
F#
Pumping blood and money back into a town
G# Fm
And it all eventually betrays her
A#m F# [Main Riff]
But I can’t think about it now
[Main Riff]
I can’t think about it now
[Verse]
A#m
So I guess it makes me wonder what I’m chasing
F#
Like a dancer when she’s breaking in her shoes
G# Fm
Like sending men up to the moon just for the landing
A#m F#
Displaying power we don’t know how else to use
[Verse]
A#m
Sometimes it’s more than I could handle
F#
Sometimes it’s all the joy I’ve found
G# Fm
And it’ll all end up on one side or the other
A#m F#
But I can’t think about it now
[Bridge]

[Verse]
N.C.
The decades that are hidden in the sidewalks
N.C.
The narrative that naturally occurs
N.C.
The everlasting wisdom of a sports bar
N.C.
The poison that’s mistaken for a cure
[Verse]
N.C.
All these backward glances putting me in danger
N.C.
Of forgetting how to turn myself around
N.C.
It’s just that time just keeps on slipping through my fingers
N.C. [Main Riff]
But I can’t think about it now
[Main Riff]
I can’t think about it now
[Main Riff]
I can’t think about it now
[Main Riff]
I can’t think about it now
