Cm G#m.........
Cm G#m.........
[Verse 1]
Cm G#m..A new game scrapping my life
Cm G#mIt was you out back with a butter knife
F G#mWho took my parts, buried 'em with the dog
Cm G#mNot great, but what did I think
Cm G#m FThat a bouncy castle Catholic could give to me
G#mBut a little wine and God?
[Pre-Chorus]
FSo I'm working on a wreckage
FWith nothing there to salvage
FOh, I'm just taking photos
FFor my book about the damage and
FSome have called me cheap
FBut it's not that ******* deep
CmLike, what's left for me but poetry
BAnd getting really old?
[Chorus]
FI'm heading to California
FDon't say I didn't warn you
BmI'm milking what I can from this grief
FI'm heading to California
FDon't say I didn't warn you
BmI'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave
[Verse 2]
Cm G#mA cold call to get me out
Cm G#mOf your big boys' starving artist's house
F G#mBut you drove me there and opened up the doors
Cm G#mNow I trade in English, dear
Cm G#mMy nanny's nanny's nanny's fears
F G#mAre living here along with all of yours, oh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
FWhinging like a woman is
FHedging on what's coming
F'Cause everybody likes me
FWhen my pain is in a sonnet
FAnd you can call me cheap
FBut you did this **** to me
CmMade me brilliant, you ****** me up
BAnd I'm reaping what you've sown
[Chorus]
FI'm heading to California
FDon't say I didn't warn you
BmI'm milking what I can from this grief
FI'm heading to California
FDon't say I didn't warn you
BmI'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave
[Post-Chorus]
FI'm heading to California
FDon't say I didn't warn you
BmI'm finishing the hat like we agreed
FI'm heading to California
FI wonder, is it torture
BmHarvesting all this misery?
[Outro]
