      [Verse]
         G
Spending Friday night alone
            D
I'm reading Campus frat boy porn
              Cadd9
Strewn on the table
       G
For my roommate
        D
When he finally gets home
             Cadd9            G
But just one night ago, three flights ago
    D
I'm back in Michigan
          Cadd9        G
Another trip I won't remember
          D
Or appreciate much when I'm dead


[Break]
Em C G
(x2)


[Verse]
        G
And the hotel where I slept that night
    D
Was surely haunted, then
              Cadd9          Cmaj7
Because every hour I woke up feeling
                   D
So watched and wanted
                G
And I think I remember that from when we met
      D
Which feels so insignificant
   Cadd9
Or maybe odd now to admit
     D
It's all in retrospect


[Break]

[Verse]
         G                C/B
And so I spent the winter bundled up
   D
Pretending I was sane and giving up
    Cadd9             C/B
The things I love the most
             D
Because they felt like pain
            Cadd9
And it's so obvious
     C/B
This jaded bunch
   D
We don't believe in ghosts and such
   Cadd9            C/B
We watch the hunt incredulous
    D
But cannot look away


[Chorus]
        Em        G
And you looked at me
             G     G/F# D
Like I was a piece of meat
           Em       Cadd9
So I was a piece of meat
      G  G/F# D
For a time


[Verse]
        Cadd9      C/B            D
But you were a vegetarian, so I became a vegetarian
              Cadd9          C/B          D
Then when you started eating meat, I also started eating meat
      Cadd9          C/B
And I lied to all my friends
           D
Said I was happy when I wasn't
        Cadd9            C/B
And you lied to all your selves
             D
Said I could give you what you wanted
       Cadd9             C/B              D
But it all feels so much bigger than some blame-filled lonely break up
             Cadd9          C/B            D
like all our narratives and mortality only distill to


[Outro]
                       Em Cadd9 G
Oh my god, we're gonna die
            Em                 Cadd9    G
We're gonna die and maybe it's gonna be alone
            Em                 Cadd9                 G                                      Em Cadd9 G
We're gonna die and maybe it's gonna be alone and no one will find the things we left behind
  Cadd9 D  Cadd9  D
Because, because we
  Cadd9          D                          G
Because we never thought to leave a fucking archive
