[Intro]
D
 
[Verse 1]
D                               G5
My telephone, it doesn't have a camera
G5/D                              G5
If it did I'd take a picture of myself
G5/D                                G5
If it did I'd take a picture of the water
    F#5
And the man on the offramp
        G5                                D
Holding up the sign that's asking me for help
 
D                                      G5
I got a job and I'll work here for the summer
G5/D                                  G5
I fold the towels and set them by the pool
G5/D                            G5
Everyone looks happy with each other
          F#5                                    G5
'Til they step away and say the thing they really meant
                           D
They always sound so cruel
 
 
[Chorus]
A5                       G5add#5
I didn't know what I was in for
G5/D*                      G5*
When I signed up for that run
A5                       G5add#5
There's no way I'm curing cancer
         E5
But I'll sweat it out
       G5                                G5/D
I feel so proud now for all the good I've done
 
 
[Verse 2]
G5/D                                     G5
I know a girl who owns a boutique in the city
G5/D                               G5
Selling clothes to the fashionably late
G5/D                                   G5
Says she cries at the news but doesn't really
           F#5                                  G5                                D
Cause it's too much fondness, too much time and too much plastic money to be made
 
 
[Chorus]
A5                       G5add#5
I didn't know what I was in for
G5/D*                      G5*
When they took my belt and strings
A5                    G5add#5
They told me I'd gone crazy
   E5
My arms are strapped in a straight jacket
     G5                     G5/D
So I couldn't save those TV refugees
 
             G/D
When they're on their backs
     G5addC#
In a bloody bath
        G5/D
Full of Sarin gas
     G6sus2/D
On a screen
 
 
[Chorus]
B5                      G5
I didn't know what I was in for
G5/D*                  G5*
When I laid out in the sun
A5                      G5add#5
We get burned for being honest
            F#5         G5
I've really never done anything, for anyone
 
 
[Outro]
G5/D                                 G5
To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me
G5/D                             G5
Otherwise I have to listen to me think
A5                       E5
Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out
    F#5                              G5
Sit on the couch and think about how living's just a promise that I made
