[Verse 1]
E
Palm trees tickling the skyline
A Em
Cover me in dead vines
A Am
I spoke with the plastic skeletons
E
And they're all drinking
A E Em
Dandelion wine and admiring the shoreline
A E
Telling me they love it when I tap my tambourine
E A Em
And wear my skinny jeans or pray like Augustine
Em
Oh, am I good in spite of
Am E
Or because I am nineteen?
Em A
Just tell me what you mean, friend
A Em
Life is no long weekend
A Am
Hope you have it in you to undress again
[Bridge]
Em Am
I saw Chicago, it was rotting
Em A
Jazz ballads played low. No one saw me
E A
Crawl like a gecko toward sunlight
E A
So many fat crows with appetite
[Chorus]
Em D Em
Do you wanna dance like a fire ant
E G Em
In the eye of a long-dead bison?
E G Em
Do you wanna love like a poet can?
E D Em
The husk of their fruit just ripened
E D Em
Do you wanna meet on the cold concrete
E G Em
Outside our favourite diner?
E G Em
Do you wanna wrap me up in suede
E D Em
Smudge off my black eyeliner?
[Verse 2]
Em
Notebooks filled with dirty poems
A Em
All slanted like hipbones of women
A Am Em
Who stand and twist the cords of telephones
E E Em
I kiss your microphone and blame it on hormones
E A Am Em
Oh, I've become addicted to the smell of your cologne
E E
But why can't we just keep it our little summer secret?
A E
You should know that everything I say won't be repeated
E A Em
Drink your margarita, flirt with drunk Maria
A Em
Chasing skirts like some golden retriever
[Bridge]
Em Am
I saw Chicago, it was rotting
