[Verse 1]
Abm7 A6 B6 Amaj7
Something mutated when I was created
Amaj7 A6
Because the two of you don't share one selfish cell
Gbm7 Abm7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Lovin' and lustin', unthorough job rushin'
Amaj7 A6 Dbm7 Gbm7 Dbm7 Ab7
You never knew your boy was raised so well
Gbm7 Dbm7
Saturday AM you wake up, volunteer all over town
Gbm7 Dbm7

[Verse 2]
Dm7 Gbm7 Amaj7
Wondering how the hell I ever got a hold of you
Amaj7 Gbm7 Dbm7 Amaj7
We stayed high, maybe that's why you stayed so long?
Dbm7 Amaj7 A6 Dbm7
Overtaken by complacency as boredom took on you
Amaj7 Abm7 A6 G7sus4
I stayed oblivious until you were already gone
Dbm7 Abm7 B6 Abm7
Moving is hard, but stagnation is harder

I need a light, cause I'm no self-starter
