[Verse 1]
A#m7 B6 C#6 Bmaj7
Something mutated when I was created
Bmaj7 B6
Because the two of you don't share one selfish cell
Abm7 A#m7 F#maj7 Bmaj7
Lovin' and lustin', unthorough job rushin'
Bmaj7 B6 Ebm7 Abm7 Ebm7 A#7
You never knew your boy was raised so well
Abm7 Ebm7
Saturday BM you wake up, volunteer all over town
Abm7 Ebm7
Saturday PM I rise up from my coffin in the ground
Abm7 Ebm7
If actions speak louder, then I hardly make a sound
Abm7 A#m7 B6 C#6 G7sus4

[Verse 2]
Em7 Abm7 Bmaj7
Wondering how the hell I ever got a hold of you
Bmaj7 Abm7 Ebm7 Bmaj7
We stayed high, maybe that's why you stayed so long?
Ebm7 Bmaj7 B6 Ebm7
Overtaken by complacency as boredom took on you
Bmaj7 A#m7 B6 G7sus4
I stayed oblivious until you were already gone
Ebm7 A#m7 C#6 A#m7
Moving is hard, but stagnation is harder
Bmaj7 C#6 B6 Abm7
I can no longer be a burden, can't create no more martyrs
Ebm Ebm7
I need a light, cause I'm no self-starter
Abm7 A#m7 B6 Bmaj7 A6 Ab6
Hope I figure it out before I'm someone's father
