[Verse 1]
C Dm
So it went like this, I finished work
Fmaj7
And then I drove home pissed, oh God, what's worse
C Dm Fmaj7
Than when your shit's all twisted, everything's off (Uh)
C Dm
So I hit the joint and now I'm feeling better
Fmaj7
And I strip down south 'cause I'm the naked neighbor
C Dm Fmaj7
It's a choice or am I cursed? It's a toss up
[Pre-chorus]
C Dm
Sometimes I get on my knees
Fmaj7
Pray to God, the birds, and the bees
C Dm Fmaj7
I do it in a crisis, it's a crisis nightly now
C Dm
And through my nightgown there's a breeze
Fmaj7
And out the window, through the trees
C
I see it and it's striking
Dm Fmaj7
It's a bowling alley party I forgot about
[Chorus]
C Dm
But I got my creams on and my gown on
Fmaj7 C
And I don't think anyone cares if I go or not
Dm Fmaj7
So wrong to think everyone loves me?
C
But doesn't need to be around me all the time
Dm Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
C
But I'll be honest, yeah, the bowling alley kinda sounds nice
Dm Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
And I'm invited, so I'll go there tonight
[Verse 2]
C Dm
So I get up fast, hate to keep 'em waiting
Fmaj7
Party's not fun yet cause I'm too busy praying
C Dm Fmaj7
God, I'm so happy to be rushing off, mm
C Dm
So I walk in hot, oh great, nobody noticed
Fmaj7 C
'Til I hit that strike, then everybody noticed me (uh huh)
Dm
Everybody loves a winner
Fmaj7
Who's gonna tell them I'm a lucky beginner
[Pre-chorus]
C Dm
I get on my knees
Fmaj7
Pray to God, the birds, and the bees
C Dm Fmaj7
Do it in a crisis, it's a crisis nightly now
C Dm
And from the front door comes a breeze
Fmaj7
And out the window, through the trees
C
I see it and it's frightening
Dm Fmaj7
It's a candle in my room, forgot to blow it out
[Chorus]
C Dm
But I got my jeans on and my crown on
Fmaj7 C
And the whole place totally cares if I go or not
Dm Fmaj7
So wrong to think everyone loves me?
C
And they need to be around me all the time
Dm Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
C
But I'll be honest, yeah, the nightgown kinda sounds nice
Dm Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
I take the trophy and I Irish goodbye
[Interlude]
C Dm Fmaj7
Oooooooh (Say it ain't so, I love to go home)
C Dm Fmaj7
Oooooooh (Say it ain't so, I love to go)
[Chorus]
C Dm
Cause I got my creams on and my gown on
Fmaj7 C
And I don't think anyone cares if I'm home or not
Dm Fmaj7
So wrong to think everyone loves me?
C
It doesn't need to be about me all the time
Dm Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
C
But I'll be honest, yeah, the bowling alley kinda felt nice
Dm Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
I turn the light on and I stare at the prize
