Standard (EADGBE)
How about we move to Cleveland and hide out there at some movie store
and start a little family band that plays
How about I make the scary choices just so long as you agree
to throw out any food thats sat for days
*follow progression from the first verse*
What would happen if I left you for the boys in Chi-town bars
who kissed the best & gave you fare to take cabs home
What would happen if we went to sea and spent our mornings getting brown
and drank wine till we threw up overboard
What would happen if there was no war and all we watched were movie stars
who starved themselves and told us we meant shit
How about I love you harder than I know to love myself
until I lose all my capacity for it
Chorus
Baby just press record on your hearts tapedeck and make a song
for all the things we might have been
Chords are the same for each chorus
How about we start and end our days with images & art
instead of all the things that yesterday we missed
How about we go to school until weve lost all inspiration
wonder why we let our parents promise this
How about we go our separate ways and write long lists
of all the things we never really wanted to admit
How about we burn the lists of all the people that we made out with at parties
and with whom we learned to kiss
Baby just press record on your hearts tapedeck and make a song
for all the things we might have been
Chords are the same for each chorus
*Follow chord progression from first verse*
What would happen if you gave your clothes away
and made new dresses out of curtains, napkins, towels, and bedsheets
What would happen if we lived in separate cities long enough
until we grew apart and forgot how to sleep
