I've tried to match chords to the lyrics as best as I can
[Intro]
C5 G5 A5
[Verse 1]
C5 G5 A5
You think you're gonna die at the age of 33
C5 G5 A5
And you say you always end things before you're in
C5 G5 A5 C5 G5 A5
You make double vision bad decisions, but that's okay with me
C5 G5 A5
You text me at the wheel, which you really shouldn't do
C5 G5 A5
And you know I'll tell you off, even though I do it too
C5 G5 A5 C5 G5 A5
Your disorganised perfectionism is okay with me
[Chorus]
G Am Em F
I know life's too short to settle down
G Am Em F
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
G Am Em F G
It's hard for me to put my arms around you
Am Em F
When your backpack's on
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
C5 G5 A5
I know that I'm not perfect and you need time alone
C5 G5 A5
But let's put that aside, 'cause I wanna take you home
C5 G5 A5 C5 G5 A5
You have a flight tomorrow and of course that's okay with me
[Chorus]
G Am Em F
I know life's too short to settle down
G Am Em F
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
G Am Em F G
It's hard for me to put my arms around you
Am Em F
When your backpack's on
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
C5 G5 A5
You're running out of time to do the things you want
C5 G5 A5
Leave your bags at the door and stay however long
C5 G5 A5 C5 G5 A5
Your accidental existentialism is catching up with me
[Chorus]
G Am Em F
I know life's too short to settle down
G Am Em F
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
G Am Em F G
It's hard for me to put my arms around you
Am Em F
When your backpack's on
