Verse
 
G5
Think I'm going for a walk now
D5 Am7/G
I feel a little unsteady
D/F# G5
I don't want nobody to follow me
D5 Am7/G
'cept maybe you
D/F# G5
I could make you happy you know
D5 Am7/G
If you weren't already
D/F# G5
I could do a lot of things
D5 Am7/G
And I do
D/F# G5
Tell you the truth I prefer
D5 Am7/G
The worst of you
D/F# G5
Too bad you had to have a better half

She's not really my type
A
But I think you two are forever

And I hate to say it but
G
You're perfect together

So fuck you
C D/A
And your untouchable face

Verse
 
D/F# G5
Two-thirty in the morning
D5 Am7/G
And my gas tank will be empty soon
D/F# G5
Neon sign on the horizon
D5 Am7/G
Rubbing elbows with the moon
D/F# G5
A safe haven of sleepless
D5 Am7/G
Where the deep fryer's always on
D/F# G5
Radio is counting down
D5 Am7/G
The top 20 country songs
D/F# G5
And out on the porch the fly strip is
D5 Am7/G
Waving like a flag in the wind
D/F# G5
Y'know, I don't look forward
D5 Am7/G
To seeing you again soon
 
Pre-Chorus
 
G
You'll look like a photograph of yourself
A
Taken from far far away
F
And I won't know what to do
G
And I won't know what to say
 
[Refrão] Gmaj7/B G/B
Except fuck you
C D/A
And your untouchable face
Gmaj7/B G/B
And fuck you
C D/A
For existing in the first place
Gmaj7/B G/B
And who am I

That I should be vying for your touch

Said who am I

Verse
 
D/F# G5
I see you and I'm so perplexed
D5 Am7/G
What was I thinking?
D/F# G5
What will I think of next?
D5 Am7/G
Where can I hide?
D/F# G5
In the back room there's a lamp
D5 Am7/G
That hangs over the pool table
G/F# G5
And when the fan is on it swings
D5 Am7/G
Gently side to side
 
Pre-Chorus
 
G
There's a changing constellation
A
Of balls as we are playing
F
I see orion and say nothing
G
The only thing I can think of saying
 
[Refrão]Gmaj7/B G/B
Is fuck you
C D/A
And your untouchable face
Gmaj7/B G/B
And fuck you
C D/A
For existing in the first place
Gmaj7/B G/B
And who am I

That I should be vying for your touch

I bet you can't even tell me that much
