verse 1
G
Alphabet you $20
D
You'll forget that time in college
G
On a stiff ledge, announcing something
D
To a bunch of kids bent on collapsing
Chorus
G
"for every famous last word
D
There are a million last words that no one's ever heard
G D
For every famous last word there are a million last words
And they're last words that no one's heard"
Interlude
G D
verse 2
G
Well, you got it stuck in my head, I want mine to sound smart
D
To ring and ring for hours, To break my mother's heart
G
Well, you got it stuck in my head, I want mine to sound smart
D
To ring and ring and ring and ring and ring, to ring and ring and ring
Chorus
G
Cuz there are millions of words
D
That all sound like other words I could've sworn i heard
G
There are millions of words
D
That just don't work as well as that one word
Bridge
Em A
No, i think i'm cracking up
Em
It's too polished and pretty
A
Dishonest and lumbering
Bm
So you can keep sleeping
A
Just break my apology
Bm
Into sparks in the air you're breathing
A
Remember when it used to be my air?
Outro
D
Back before we fought so much
G
And i proved i wasn't strong enough
D
To convince myself into convincing you;
G
I was a prince before the hospital, and then
D
I was a trapdoor waiting to swallow you
G
I was a picked lock, a broken bicycle
D
Immobilized and hanging in place
G Bm
Just nodding my head and hiding my face in my hands
G A D
Auditioning my escape plan
End on D
