If you . . .
[Verso 1]
Am Fmaj7
If you’ve got plans tonight uh oh there goes my appetite,
C G
I’m face down in Havertown with wasted words inside my mouth,
Am Fmaj7
The boys are getting high in someone’s garage next to yard supplies,
C G
Talkin' bout a piece of ass over classic rock 102.9,
Am Fmaj7
I saw I missed your call, but works at 8 I guess your off,
C G
The highlights getting dimmer here, here’s to another wasted year ,
F Am C
So much more time to decide,
G
But each year seems to run a little faster,
F Am C
So it goes, the passage of time,
G
Keeps closing in, and I’m not getting past her.
Am Fmaj7
Oooh one more December,
C G
Then I’ll be gone, baby don’t cry,
Am Fmaj7
Ooh ooh ooh by next September,
C G
They’ll be singing out the words I’ve been screaming all my life.

Am Fmaj7
I got no plans tonight I’ll drink myself to paradise,
C
Lost inside that neon sign,
G
Til drunken crowds sing Closing Time,
Am Fmaj7
The cops will wait outside to shake those feeling brave to drive,
C G
Frantic girls grab at their phones, while street lights try to guide me home,

This summer came and gone,

While autumns chill is creeping in,
G F
I’ll comatose till winter ends,

Am
If we make plans tonight,
Fmaj7
There’s dreams we’ll have to sacrifice,

This comfort in complacency, is taking more than I would leave,

The wasted years are packing in,

The moment came and ran again.
