VERSE 1:
Em G
There's no box to tick for red, so I put down blue instead, cos
C G
It's closest there's to grey in the categories.
Em G
And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise,
C G
Doe Eyes you should stay at home licking batteries.
Em D
I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game show, and the
C G
Guests on today's quiz are celebrities.
Em D
Won't respond to any clues, they're just cracking jokes for views,
C C
But the answers to these questions mean everything.
CHORUS:
G Am
I had a friend who, had made a flag day,
Em C
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak.
G Am
I have known friends to, crack from love's weight,
Em C
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break.
Em D C Em D C
Oh, it won't get better, that doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse.

Em D
Salacia's in the depths, and if I avoid the nests,
C
Threaten I'll cuckold you Neptune, for definite.
Em G
Meet between the dog and wolf, with the hoar frost underfoot,
C
And I'll show you every fire in Delphinus.
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy,
That's why they call me the avocado, baby.
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy,
That's why they call me the avocado, baby.
Em D
May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket
C
Have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails,
Em D
'Tween the breadth'a your span, I was a renaissance man,
C
Books of lies stacked either side, you were my carrell.
CHORUS:
G Am
I had a friend who, had made a flag day,
