[Verse 1]
C
Scared of everything
Everything's on blast
Am
Never travel light
I carry the past
Am/E
In an armored car
That's my skeleton
C/G
Worship one idea
Like a superfan
C
In a gallery
With a slanted view
Am
There's a book signing
Dystopian haikus
Am/E
As they're read out loud
Under Edison lights
C/G
Makes me scratch my head
C
And think of simpler times

F5/G* G5/A* C/F#
Borrowed a car for the day
F5/G* G5/A* Am G C/G
We drove it out to The Rock a ways
Am/E
And you went swimming
Am/E
I watched you swimming
(*Riff) C
[Verse 2]
C
I'm made of money now
There's nothing I want
Am
Except expensive wine
To watch the rocket launch
Am/E
We'll climb up on the roof
And sit in plastic chairs
C/G
Watch it accelerate
Until it disappears
C
Just like your goodbye voice
Trailing off down the hall
Am
I love you, baby
I'll be back in one hour
Am/E
You'll try and smile then
Sometimes it doesn't stick
C/G
I'll help you tune it out
C
I'll help you reminisce

We'd put these memories to shame
