E
You're in an all-girl band

Your futon's second hand
E D E
Your parents understand but you don't care

I make sure the customers aren't thieves

Old at being young
B F#m
Young at being old
B F#m
Everything's on hold within our evolution
CHORUS:
E G F#m B
You're my alternative girlfriend
E G F#m B
I love you, now you cannot pretend
C#m A
There's nothing left that won't cross over
E
Last night we slept on the lawn
E
You woke up and I was gone
E E D E
Back to the dream I dream to leave
E
My life with her is a bore
E
A worn-out metaphor
E
No more surprises up it's sleeve
B F#m
We're old at being young
B F#m
Young at being old
B F#m
Everything's been sold to other's revolutions
CHORUS:

You're my alternative girlfriend
E G F#m B
I love you, now you cannot pretend
C#m A
There's nothing left that won't cross over
E (Quick Palm mutes) A
You live above your dad's four-car garage
E A
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
E A
If I pull up in a u-haul, pack up quick
E A G(hold)
So we can get out of this town 'cause it makes me sick
CHORUS:
E G F#m B
You're my alternative girlfriend
E G F#m B
I love you, now you cannot pretend
C#m A
There's nothing left that won't cross over

You're my alternnative girlfriend
E (over and over) or Riff
