verse 2 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
this pricey stuff makes me dizzy , i guess i’ve always been a delicate man
takes me a day to remember a day
i didn’t mean to let it get so far out of hand
i was a comfortable kid , but i don’t think about it much anymore
lay me on the table , put flowers in my mouth
and we can say that we invented a summer lovin’ torture party
i’m too tired to drive anyway , anyway right now , do you care if i stayed?
you can put on your bathing suits
and i’ll try to find something on this thing that means nothin’ enough
