Incongruence
View chords used in this chart
G, C, G, D x2
G C
Did you ever wanna go
G D
To back where we were before
G C
Smell that pot smoke wafting out
G D
From under your dad’s door
G C
And the steak-knives, by the bedside
G C
Jokes cracked in the black light
D
They were maybe not the best times
C D
But, well, I’ve had worse
G
And I wouldn’t trade those memories
C D
For the whole fucking earth
C D
Dancing to Hanson, and Marilyn Manson
C G
And I know that that doesn’t make even a little bit of sense
C D
That was the point, that beautiful incongruence
C D
We didn’t fit, and we didn’t care
C D
That feelings still with me, it’s everywhere
C D
It didn’t matter and it didn’t matter
D (stop) G
To anyone but ourselves
G, C, G, D x2
G C
And of course we drift apart
G D
And maybe we’d lose touch
G C
Even though we’re not together
G D
It matters just as much
G C
Cuz when you’d say I was OK
G C
I believed it in a new way
D
And as the sun rose on that dusty couch
C D
and we were still awake
G
You had nothing to give me,
C D
but you gave it all the same
C D
Dancing to Hanson, and Marilyn Manson
C G
And I know that that doesn't make even a little bit of sense
C D
That was the point, that beautiful incongruence
C D
We didn’t fit, and we didn't want to
C D
That feeling still with me, in everything I do
C D
It didn’t matter and it didn’t matter
D(stop) C
To anyone but ourselves
