INTRO:
And it's true we named our children after towns, that we'd never been to
And it's true that the clouds just hung around,
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
CHORUS:
Am Fmaj7 C
And we were done, done, done with all the fuck, fuck, fucking around!
G Am Fmaj7
You were so true to yourself, you were true to no one else

Well I should put you in the ground.

VERSE:
We named our children after towns, that we'd never been to
And it's true that the clouds just hung around,
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground.
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns.
But we were all still just
CHORUS:
Am Fmaj7 C G
Dumb, dumb, dumber than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground!
Am
Well, wings on flames, kings with no names,
Fmaj7 C B
well this place just ain't got right air right now.
Am Fmaj7
You were so all over town but still so crayola brown, well you should
C G
run 'round yourself right now. And we were,
Am Fmaj7 C B
done, done, done with all the fuck, fuck, fucking around.

And we were laughing at the stars
While our feet clung tight to the ground.
So pleased with ourselves
For using so many verbs and nouns.
But we were all still just dumb, dumb, dumber
Than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground.
Well wings on flames, kings with no names,
Well this place just ain't got right air right now.
You were so all over town but still so Crayola brown.
Well you should run 'round yourself right now.
And we were done, done, done
