ukulele, no capo
[Verse]
G D Am C
Can't be bothered to spend the time crafting you a charming opening line
G D Am C
So I’ll just send “Hey, what’s up” and pray that’ll be enough to dissuade you from
getting closer
G D Am C
I’ll self destruct and self-amend, pick the pieces up again, just hoping that your hands
will meet mine
G D Am C
put the jigsaw back together, just chat about whatever, I don't really care if it means
I'm not alone forever
G D Am C
I'll morph to whatever possibility, an alternate timeline of me, just so you'll agree
G D
A second date – oh wow that’s great,
Am C
I really just can’t wait to see you try to break the walls I’ve put up today
[Chorus]
G D Am C
Is this just a cycle of formalities, first date niceties
G D Am C
I don't think I could be with anybody
[Verse]
G D Am C
Ripping off stitches to open myself up for you, all over again, I know how this will end
G D Am C
don't y'know you won't like what you'll find, I'll just waste your time
G D Am C
I'm a catfish, serving you myself on a pedestal I never believed in
G D Am
still afraid of getting hurt, can’t quite say the lesson’s learned,
C
it’s hard to open up when I’m never quite enough
G D
I'm a hypocrite and I wish that I were new to this,
Am C
But being honest means more rejection, and I’m just craving some affection
[Chorus]
G D Am C
Is this just a cycle of formalities, first date niceties
G D Am C
I don't think I could be with anybody
G D Am C
Is this just a cycle of formalities, first date niceties
G D Am C
I don't think I could be with anybody

C E
Catching up as we pull sticky-tac from postcards
Dm Dm7 G
packing your bedroom up into a minivan
C E
Wanted to say that I understand,
Dm Dm7 G
cause I do
C E
Happy to have you around, even if it's just for today
Dm Dm7 G
hope you take care of yourself when we’re far away
C E
No other goodbyes could be this bittersweet,
Dm Dm7 G
so I will cherish this moment like a dream
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 E7 D7
So I’ll just hold on to the memory of you
Cmaj7 E7 Dm Em G C
grinning ear to ear as if there’s nothing else you could do
Cmaj7 E7 D7
Not thinking of you is a hard thing to do
Cmaj7 E7 Dm Cmaj7 E7 Dm Em G C
so I’ll just smile when I do, and hope you know I miss you

[Verse]
C E
Tore down the posters carefully,
Dm Dm7 G
rolled them up with the memories you gave me
C E
Can't say I never felt angry-at you for going,
Dm Dm7 G
or at myself for not knowing
C E
Even if I'll be sad to see you go
Dm Dm7 G
right now I’m just so glad you're home
C E
No other goodbyes could be this bittersweet
Dm Dm7 G
so I will cherish this moment like a dream,
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 E7 D7
So I’ll just hold on to these memory of you
Cmaj7 E7 Dm Em G C
stopping by campus when this basement feels too blue
Cmaj7 E7 D7
Not thinking of you is a hard thing to do
Cmaj7 E7 Dm Cmaj7 E7 Dm Em G C
so I’ll just smile when I do, and hope you know I miss you

G Bm C Cmaj7
Looking back at old photographs I cant even
G D7 C
Distinguish between the two of us, the faces blur
G Bm C Cmaj7
Did I change? Who's to blame?
G B7 C
Or was I always this way?
[Bridge]
G G7 Em Em
Every fiction I dive into you're there
G G7 Em Em
Lighting your cigarette with a blank stare
G G7 Em Em
I've been in town for weeks but I’m not sure if you'd care
G G7 Em Em
Where do we stand – if anywhere?

[Verse]
D A7 C Em
Bumper to bumper, conversation long over, I can feel the rift between us growing
D A7 C Em
Try to talk to you, but the radio blares right through me, you know I’d rather hear you
D A7 C Em
Light turns green up ahead, everyone else drives by, I'm clinging onto what you said
D A7 C Em
yeah maybe I'm just too sensitive
[Chorus]
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
You say it's a two-way street
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
How come I'm doing the work for three
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
You say it's a two-way street
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
How come you’re always against me?
[Verse]
D A7 C Em
Riding shotgun again, zone out and pretend I didn’t flinch when you combed your hand
through my hair
D A7 C Em
You lay into me quick, grit my teeth and bear with it, retreat into myself a bit
D A7 C Em
Your claustrophobic hugs constrain me like a seatbelt, shallow breaths till I pass out
D A7 C Em
Don't talk for weeks, cut each other deep, I had boundaries, but you had needs
[Chorus]
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
You say it's a two-way street
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
How come I'm doing the work for three

You say it's a two-way street
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
How come you’re always against me?
[Chorus]
D A7 C Cmaj7 Em
You say it's a two-way street

You say it's a two-way street

feel like a stranger in my own home

A ghost floating from person to person

you’ve ex-communicated me, systematically

Still I don’t know

what is it about me you feared?

I keep asking but nobody hears

[Verse]
A G D A
These walls were made to keep loved ones safe, but now they just divide us
A G D A
Used to call this my home, now it’s a place I don’t dare to go
A G D A
Just 'cause I don't say your prayers doesn't mean I think no one’s there
A G D A
But being compassionate means showing you care
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Em G D Dsus4 D
And if I am damned by the nature of what I am,
D A Em G
Then I’ll just live my truth, the decision’s up to you, will you treat me like you ought
to?
[Chorus]
D A Em G
If I can't get married in this house of truth
D A Em G
how honest is it I am welcome?
D A Em G D
I grew up here, I loved here, but now it’s all I fear
A Em G
These glass walls, crystal chandeliers
D A Em G
Hide a bigotry beneath a thin veneer
[Interlude]
A G D A
[Verse]
A G D A
When your congregation gossips about my hand wrapped with another man’s
A G D A
is my discomfort really that hard to understand?
A G D A
When you make me know that I don’t fit, how dare you expect me to accept it?
A G D A
I don’t want to keep secrets from you, but if I really felt your love I wouldn’t have to
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Em G D Dsus4 D
And if I am damned by the nature of what I am,
D A Em G
Then I’ll just live my truth, the decision’s up to you, will you treat me like you ought
to?
[Chorus]
D A Em G
If I can't get married in this house of truth
D A Em G
how honest is it I am welcome?
D A Em G D
I grew up here, I loved here, but now it’s all I fear
A Em G
These glass walls, crystal chandeliers
D A Em G
House a secret that’s not unique to here
D A Em G
And so I’ll fight for my rights, I won’t lie dormant
D A Em G
I’m a human, I deserve your respect
D A Em G
I have feelings too, I bleed too, I’m just a different type of person than you
D A Em G
I want the world to see I’m not ashamed, I never was
D A Em G
I’m not a sinner I just wanna kiss boys
D A Em G
I’m not a sinner I just wanna kiss boys
D A Em G
I could be a perfect child and make the whole world proud
D A Em G D A Em G
but you'd still judge me on the basis of my sexuality

[main riff]
Welcome back child wasn't your journey wild
But I'm sure that what you've found was worth the while
Got lots of scraped knees knocked out a few teeth,
sometimes your own
pondered a thousand mysteries
learned about the birds and bees and smoking weed and setting boundaries
and closing the door behind you when you leave
[main riff]
a schoolgirl diving for home plate a teenager, made some dumb mistakes
You got a car at 29, Felt alive for the first time driving down the
highway at nighttime
spiralled into crisis after crisis just looking up at trees wondering when they got
so big
guess that's just mystery one thousand and one
[main riff]
So wave goodbye to your children plant yourself into your garden
swaddle your vegetables in bibs while your kids they lie adrift:
adopt a Yorkie just for kicks, scream at the Knicks and nuke frozen food on sticks
they'll figure it out in the end, or maybe they will just pretend, just like you
did
[main riff]
You weren't the best mother, but they'll recover
they'll try harder for their kids and the world will be that much better in the end-
you sowed seeds all your own now look how high that tree has grown
you've only done one one-thousandth of what you wanted to, but hey look at you
[main riff, strum through tabbed chords]
Spilled pancake batter up and face your honest mistakes
its okay if you don't always have the right words to say
you're only 29, you've got more time
The stakes aren't too high, its just your life on the line
Still got one thousand more things to do, but hey, here's to you
[main riff]
laughed till your head ached, and you fell dizzy
cried when your heart ached, and you felt small
screamed till you couldn't speak, but hey
no more tears ran down your cheeks

you sailed the world and what did you discover?
the most miraculous things can happen on the suburb streets
oh

you were lost till you felt safe in your hometown
you were lost till you found what you needed all along
you were lost till you were found

I'm breaking character letting someone in
A C#m Bm D
Bending backwards tryna get you to listen
A C#m Bm D
Did you notice, I'm molting out of my skin?
A C#m Bm D
Did you notice, I was talking?
[Verse]
A E
Pack my things up to go now, you seem satisfied
Bm7 Dm
Your ex-boyfriend in the other room, there's a look in his eye
A E
he's a year older than me, barely twenty
Bm7 Dm
you say he wanted you to move in with you too soon
A E
Why wasn't there a more mature voice in the room
Bm7 Dm
Do you know what he gave up for you?
A E
And you're holding my hand now, like you used to hold his
Bm7 Dm
Until I grow too old to fit your niche
[Verse]
A E
And the pieces all click, yeah it makes sense to me
Bm7 Dm
I'm a part of a pattern of what you could be
A E
The junior in high school you were pining for
Bm7 Dm
The queer love story you couldn't find in bookstores
A E
Hiding under covers, hiding in metaphors
Bm7 Dm
But I'm not your lover, and you aren't a sophomore
[Chorus]
A C#m Bm D
I'm naive enough to think you're being honest
A C#m Bm D
cruel tricks, smooth-talking
A C#m Bm D
Did you notice, I'm molting out of my skin
A C#m Bm D
Did you notice, I was trying
A C#m Bm D
You're the one being shallow
A C#m Bm D
so much disgust, flinching at your own shadow
A C#m Bm D
you're the one fetishizing my age
A C#m Bm D
I came here to pet your cat, not to get laid
[Interlude]
A E Bm7 Dm
A E Bm7 Dm
[Outro]
A E
Would you bring me to the altar, as a sacrifice
Bm7 Dm
for more years of youth, just a bit more time
A E
now the hourglass is empty, and the door's closing fast,
Bm7 Dm
you're still chasing boys, trying to rewrite your past

Dm G
Your temporary absence turned permanent
C C7
But I can't allow myself to forget you yet
Dm G
Mementos and eulogies to remember you by
C C7
The only thing I have left of you is deep inside
Dm G
Memories of us on the back porch
C C7
I wish I told you then how much you meant to me
[Chorus]
F Em
Tears of joy stream down my face as I pause and rewind the tapes
C C7
I watch you light the candles once more.
F Em
I'll miss seeing you again, I wish I told you then
C C7
how much you meant to me
F Em
A legacy of legacies, I pray that you live on in me
C C7
and guide me down my best path
F Em C C7
May your memory be a blessing like those days we had
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Dm G
For such a jokester, you sure knew how to make us cry
C C7
Cause you know on that day, there wasn’t a dry eye
Dm G
everybody’s stories involved a crazy joke or two
C C7
Oh everyone said that you were gone too soon
[Instrumental]
Dm G
Dm G
[Chorus]

Tears of joy stream down my face as I pause and rewind the tapes
C C7
I watch you light the candles once more.
F Em
I'll miss seeing you again, Oh good friend of a friend,
C C7
I hope that I’ll make you proud one day
F Em
A legacy of legacies, I pray that you live on in me
C C7
and guide me down my best path
F Em C C7
But most of all I hope these memories last
