Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][F]
[G][F][C]
[G]Sick on the

[Verse 1]
brink
of a new lurk for kick[Bb]s
[Bbm]A true new low for the old pone [F]to fix
[C]Mood hyped, teen night,
[G]over at the roller rink
[F]Rehearsing slow lewd [C]winks, nude,
at the men's room sink, ya'll
[G]Evil, pink, small, lesser, sur[Dm]ly, and lurid[F]
Open girlies [Gm]for leisure,
[Bb]never not where the youth [F]is
Son, the [C]pu trid things I've done for
purely my pleas[G]ure?
[C]Surely at 30- plus it must seem
unto[Dm]ward[G]
Mass nasty [Dm]sex in the [F]dorms
Don't ask me when I [Gm]was born
Less [Bb]known is best come [F]morn'
Yes, [C]you'd never guess,
but in this form [B]I'm a mess
[G]And wit[C]h this heavy chest I can't
[Dm]rest[Eb][C][F][C]
[Bb][Ab][Eb]
[F]So why put the [G]porn in a poem
to confess and [Dm]atone
[F]I ad [Gm]dress the past
and ask [Bb]why [Dm]I'm alone
[F]In a torn tone I [C]preach peace
[F]and poor [C]from the pul[B]pit
[G]But at [C]home,
Jack Kennedy sheaths and shag [Dm]carpet
Purchased [G]parkas from Marshalls
at ridicu[Dm]lous [F]markups
Out at farm[Gm]er's markets and high [Bb]thread
count [F]garments
And on FourSquare this [C]morning,
[F]lik[C]e an old[B] yoga yup[C]pie
I checked in at Krogers in a gold pullover toga
like "fuck [Eb]it"[C][F][C][Bb]
[Ab][Eb]
[F]I use the[G] first person cause it sound
[Dm]s more [F]urgent
But the truth [Gm]is I probably knew
[Bb]myself less than you [F]did
I'm [C]so lonesome that I'd let
you take me out
[B]If you looked [C]like my ex- girlfriend
or Zooey[Dm]Deschanel
[C]But heed [G]this honey, even if I beg
[Dm]for re[F]lations
You should try [Gm]to only keep [Bb]me
as a dis[Dm]tant ac[F]quaintance
Yeah, [C]but I'm too persistent for
that to work
And what's worse [G]is when
[C]you finally fall asleep
I'm gonna go through
[Dm]your purse
