      [Intro]
A D
A Bm D

[Verse 1]
A
 Before Alberta was a gentrified mess,
            D
before this whole Armageddon came on
            A                                 Bm
We rode our bikes through the rain to see the Taxpayers play
        D
at some punk house that's long gone.

[Verse 2]
A
 We swore we'd always make a joke of our lives
           D
follow our folly and enjoy the ride
       A                        Bm
Here I sit, thinning out in the thick of it
          D
admittedly tired

A D
A Bm D

[Verse 3]
A
 My dreams distort into dystopian myths
           D
of writing uncrowded waves and pop songs for nihilists
A                         Bm
 a tiny house for just the two of us
                D
we'll carry on or reach Fulfillment and call it quits

[Pre-chorus]
              C#                        D
because we're on our own, landlocked in romance
           C#                              D
and likely embarking on a slow decline I'm sure

[Chorus]
      E              A
If it all just falls apart
                    D
or it all fits into place
                    Bm
either way, I'm not concerned
               D                    Bm                       E
It's a perfect spiral and I see the light at the end of it's baby blue.

[Verse 4]
This is mostly drums at first but here are the what the chords would be anyways

A                                                       D
 I've got this sinking feeling one of us dies before we say what we needed to say
              A                             Bm                  D
So I keep our secrets and our Truths slowly folding into little wrinkles of old age
A                                            D
 So when the world falls quiet and you go in search of any signs of life
   A                      Bm                   D
ya, look for my baby blue hammock swinging over the dead of winter at Short Sands because we're

[Pre-chorus]
C#                        D
on our own land locked in romance
         C#                               D
politely out to make a hell of a time I'm sure...

[Chorus]
      E              A
If it all just falls apart
                    D
or it all fits into place
                        Bm
if it all just turns to shit
                  D
commence my psychologic defense
     Bm
keep reminding myself
      E               A
if it all just falls apart
                   D
or it all fits into place
                   Bm
either way I'm not concerned
          D                         Bm                    E
I'm just along for the ride and I'm trying my best not to fail you.

[Outro]
A D
A Bm D
