[Verso 1]
G Cmaj7
I was in LA for my 21th birthday
Em7 Cmaj7
My friend came to see me, we had Big Thief on repeat
G Cmaj7
We got a bottle of wine from the supermarket
Em7 Cmaj7
They didn't ID us, guess that's how I wanted it
G Cmaj7
It's so hard to focus on what the time passing shows us
Em7 Cmaj7
When the pressure is rising and I'd rather not notice
G Cmaj7
Give me two shots of something, a chance to do over
Em7 Cmaj7
We can't get any younger but we could get sober

[Verso 2]
G Cmaj7
I don't mean to say that I got any kind of problems
Em7 Cmaj7
Especially not lately, when you'd be here to solve them
G Cmaj7
But that's the final frontier, that's the enemy line
Em7 Cmaj7
We're here to have fun, dear, not here to count time
G Cmaj7
But if I've got the brains and you got the looks
Em7 Cmaj7
Let's make lots of money, yeah, and make one for the books
G Cmaj7
Cos what I really mean is though I can drink til I dream
Em7 Cmaj7
Without you it's over, so I could get sober
{Instrumental}
