PERFECTLY ENAMORED VERSE F Bb C Bb F Ever so slowly things will change And soon your heart won't feel the same And when you watch the final scene And watch their car drive down the pike It'll be too different from your life Ever so slowly you'll get bored Of doing coke with herbivores And when you start to gain it back You'll sweat it off on a high school track The girls will think you took a class honey you should teach a class About talking shit and coming last And when I buy the filming rights they'll turn our story lilywhite but i know what you're really like CHORUS F Gmin C F Cause I've been Perfectly enamored it's true But perfect doesn't matter with you whose side are you on Cause I've been Perfectly enamored it's true But perfect doesn't matter with you whose side are you on VERSE F Bb C Bb F And you'll stop moving every year You'll pretend you like it here You'll pretend you're on my side So content to live a lie If we live it side by side I like you better far away But i know you always get your way so i'll make friends with other folks switch the honing on my scopes Never call on Christmas day and i'll always cry when i think of you you're a tired lion in the como zoo too much pride to make a change skins too thin to ask advice too much whiskey in your drinks CHORUS F Gmin C F Cause I've been Perfectly enamored it's true But perfect doesn't matter with you whose side are you on Cause I've been Perfectly enamored it's true But perfect doesn't matter with you whose side are you on VERSE F Bb C Bb F Ever so slowly things will change And soon your heart won't feel the same From open book to charred remains From best of friends to bad with names From summit ave to 7th place And you might think I'll love again To remind my legs why they can bend To keep my heart from losing steam To keep my dreams from dreaming dreams We'll disagree to disagree CHORUS F Gmin C F Cause I've been Perfectly enamored it's true But perfect doesn't matter with you whose side are you on Cause I've been Perfectly enamored it's true But perfect doesn't matter with you whose side are you on

hi my name is ana put your name on the list in chicago went to beauty school now you're blow drying models it's easy to see why i'm checking for you with your thick ass frame i know that you think i'm only popping game i'm stuck on you like a sticker reading chorus Hi my name is ana welcome to chicago and even if you ain't my man i ain't a groupie for your band you understand? got a drink at the bar after the last band low lights while the ice breakers happen in a world where there’s just one night in a city where’s there late last call we found a rhythm between our trips we found a number we could always call we split the fare and a camel light on the way back to portage park when we got back to your place that night you whispered soft in the dark chorus Hi my name is ana welcome to chicago and even if you ain't my man i ain't a groupie for your band you understand? put your name on the list at the entry smiled when they crossed you off the spreadsheet came backstage bought while i wrote my set -----(2 bar nonsense break) we split half a joint you said that you're on my side honey you were there when my momma was sick i was there when your momma died there ain't nothing wrong with the distance between our lives but i wouldn't mind being closer to you should the opportunity arise but you ain't nothing but a midwest boy i got my bags packed for the bay tonight i'm too high to say goodbye but i hope someday to say chorus hi my name is ana welcome to california it's easy in the winter sun so visit on your vacation we can still have some fun

Halfway Road 04:27
HALFWAY ROAD Something comes over me Whenever you go to sleep Under my arms Don’t want no blues to sing Don’t want bad news to ring Into our home Just need your eyes to close Before my eyes do close And bring us to sleep And when you wake up You start to move your feet Please don’t wake me (please please don’t wake me) I’ve got some time Before I need to rise Please don’t wake me (please please don’t wake me) I’ll wait until sun touches on my legs Please don’t wake me (please please don’t wake me) And when I wake up I dream all day of Please don’t wake me (please please don’t wake me)

Sister's Wine Verse 1 We were high, But coming down, One false move We could have touched the ground But you were young, And we thought we were, So we were fine We were lost, Where we got lost before, One bad turn, We’d have flipped the car But it was clear, In the evening light, It was clear chorus 1 My trouble is, There’s nothing so good, As how it tasted on my throat in the woods, It was fine, it was fine, Your sister’s wine verse 2 We were late, But you’d broke your clock One more rev, We would have hit the dock, We were scared, But you held it there, On that quiet lake chorus 2 My trouble is, There’s nothing so good, As how it tasted on my throat in the woods, It was fine, it was fine, Your sister’s wine we were scared , of what'd you'd say but it doesn't matter now we were old and we knew we were when we heard you say outro can't you see this is not for me we were fine we were fine your sister's wine

Arby’s and Sbarros I read the note that you left I can’t believe all the things you say Matter of fact, maybe it’s time To jog your memory Wasn’t just, a year back, I was flying into DCA Getting freaky on the cab ride to your place My legs sliding up against the plastic plate, but uh CHORUS can’t figure out why you’re leaving tomorrow we used to be like arby’s and sbarros VERSE You trusted words, Maybe I, masked mistakes, to make you stay On the chance you’d make the same wouldn’t that have made my day I made my bed, I suppose a lot of people got to stay the night wasn’t the plan, I had in mind but I always thought we’d be allright CHORUS can’t figure out why you’re leaving tomorrow we used to be like arby’s and sbarros

WITHOUT WARNING I think somebody will tell sooner or later too many holes in the loop no easy way to evade her and if they find me i'll talk i'll tell them how you were fighting i'll tell them about us the tourniquet tightens i hope you're bleeding tonight i hope it ends in the morning i hope you think you'll survive i hope it comes without warning and when they brought up your name i knew the reason you made a doll out of her you couldn't be decent they mentioned things that i won't they mentioned places we'd visit and when i go there now i'll have to think of the poison you've been giving i hope you're bleeding tonight i hope it ends in the morning i hope you think you'll survive i hope it comes without warning (TWICE)

nightshirt divorce oh this old thing i know it, doesn't fit right but it's what i used to wear to bed every night you might laugh at it now cause it's all full of holes, full of holes i know but at night when we rest while the ceiling fan works and your body gets sweaty and you turn and you jerk i sleep through the night in my oldest night shirt and you wonder why show up on time for work and you wonder why i want a change want a change from the struggle that simmers every night, every day from the love that we opened like ovens too soon and seasoned raw meat and consumed and consumed until our problems could keep us from sleep you're not in love you're on repeat instrumental x2 oh this old thing i know it doesn't fit right but i wear it for comfort not for you sight not for something to whisper when i'm brushing my teeth to open the floodgates to fine toothed critique you tell me you're changing you're changing this day then tomorrow comes early and fucks up today and the next day's no different and our frames start to freeze until i'm watching myself start to leave start to leave until our problems could keep us from sleep you're not in love you're on repeat refrain oh i waited so long to be your girl but now i'm gone

Hello, here's a mug, I buy the cheap stuff when you leave town But I knew, youd want a cup of your fancy brew Baby I love being in love with you On the days, when I work You got a plate when I come home I do the same when you're out working too Baby I love being in love with you And at night, When you sleep I play my chords so quietly I won't wake you, my darling needs to snooze Baby I love being in love with you extra repeat: Baby I love being in love with you Solo (12 bars) Hello, here's a glass I got the wine with the stupid name Have a glass I'll have a glass or two Baby I love being in love with you extra repeat: Baby I love being in love with you

Cigarettes 04:14
Cigarettes You’re too young to stop smoking all those cigarettes You’re too young to stop smoking all those cigarettes Maybe I could love you if you loved someone else It’s just too much pressure to do it all by myself you can take me home like we’re both leaving town or we can sit around and wonder what we’re supposed to do now without my inhibitions i sit dead on the vine i need to make my own mistakes before i make up my mind nobody said you’re easy, but you’re easy to please it would please me just as quick if you turn round and leave You’re too young to stop smoking all those cigarettes it might be time to just bum but you’re so pretty, they’d all just loan you one You can ask questions in the corner And answer all by yourself Or leave me like your ex From every story you tell I'm one for messy starts With strings still attached But if she made you feel good make her take you back I always thought you had the sense to leave an open door if you didn’t want me why do you always want more nobody said it’s over, but it’s hard to forget that you raced to break a promise without breaking a sweat
