[Verse]
G
Salutations!
B
To whom it may concern
Em
The litter box has overflowed
C D
The frozen dinner burned
G
Oh we're running low on wine, my man
B
Could you please swing by the store
Em
My TV's just reality,
C D
and I can't watch no more
G
There's a shining diamond somewhere
B
Where a kid is striking out
Em
His dad is in the dugout
C D
He's foaming at the mouth
G
A stomach's turning sour inside
B
Of a disappointed scout
Em
Yeah he thought he'd found the real deal
C D
But now he's got his doubts
[Chorus]
Am B
So it's over before it began
Em
But I could nurse you in the triage
C D
I could stick you with some pins
Am B
But it's hopeless, these rules make no sense
Em D A
First they say we can't be lovers
C D
And now they say we can't be friends
[Solo]
G Am G Am B C D
[Verse]
G
Ruminations
B
This medicine don't work
Em
Had that same thought ten thousand times
C D
It's only getting worse
G
Swore off temptation
B
But what if it's what I really wanna do
Em
But how could I apologize
C D
For telling you the truth
G
There's a burnt out light bulb above my head
B
It's stolen my ideas
Em
There's a yearbook on the book shelf
C D
That can't explain the years
G
Well I never should have signed it
B
But you know summer's coming soon
Em
When I almost drowned you gave me mouth to mouth
C D
Beside your neighbor's pool
[Chorus]
Am B
It was over before it began
Em
You could've left me in the water
C D
But you made me live again
Am B
And I'm sorry, I can't pay you back
Em D A
I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves
C D
But we just can't get attached
