[Verse 1: Phoebe Bridgers]
DMy telephone, it doesn't have a camera
D                               D/GIf it did I'd take a picture of myself
DIf it did I'd take a picture of the water
D/C#               DAnd the man on the offramp
D                           D/G           DHolding up the sign that's asking me for help

D                                      D/C#I got a job and I'll work here for the summer
D                                     D/BI fold the towels and set them by the pool
DEveryone looks happy with each other
          D/C#          D                         D/B'Til they step away and say the thing they really meant
DThey always sound so cruel


[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
Asus4                    G5I didn't know what I was in for
D                         G6/BWhen I signed up for that run
Asus4                     G5There's no way I'm curing cancer
         Em9But I'll sweat it out
       D/G                                DI feel so proud now for all the good I've done


[Verse 2: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
D                                        D/BI know a girl who owns a boutique in the city
D                                  D/BSelling clothes to the fashionably late
D                                      D/BSays she cries at the news but doesn't really
           D/C#               D                 D/B                          DCause it's too much fondness, too much time and too much plastic money to be made


[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
Asus4                    GI didn't know what I was in for
D                          G6/BWhen they took my belt and strings
Asus4                 G5They told me I'd gone crazy
   Em9My arms are strapped in a straight jacket
     D/G                    DSo I couldn't save those TV refugees

             Em9When they're on their backs
     D/C#In a bloody bath
        DFull of Sarin gas
     D/GOn a screen


[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
Em9                     G5I didn't know what I was in for
D                      G6/BWhen I laid out in the sun
Asus4                   G5We get burned for being honest
            Em9          D/G               DI've really never done anything, for anyone


[Outro: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
DTo fall asleep I need white noise to distract me
D                                D/BOtherwise I have to listen to me think
Asus4                    G6/BOtherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out
    D/C#                             D                                   Dsus2/GSit on the couch and think about how living's just a promise that I made
