The Timewasters


Tom: Am

C                       E7
Summer girl, in quarantine,
        Dm                  F
She’s having a sweet sixteen,
C                         E7
Trapped inside the best day yet,
             Dm                            F
She'll be faking all day, She's gonna bet


[Bridge]
C       E7          Dm     F
If she survives today,
C        E7         Dm      F
She can go her own way.


[Verse]
C                         E7
Her parents call, for their daughter
Dm                            F
But she cries, because she oughta,


[Bridge]
C        E7          Dm      F
If she was just outdone,
C        E7          Dm      F
She would be the perfect son.


[Chorus]
C                 E7
It's a deadname birthday
Dm            F
No one to cry to
C             E7
A deadname birthday,
Dm            F
But I believe in you
C                   E7
It's all going to be fine,
Dm            F
Wait for a line,
C                    E7
Keep it up never tell a soul,
Dm            F
Just let yourself go


[Interlude]
C E7 Dm F x2


[Verse]
C                 E7
Winter boy, in a lock,
Dm                      F
Go out, swim through a dock
C                      E7
He just wants meet his friends
Dm                            F
Hope this madness ends


[Bridge]
C                E7       Dm       F
But he was never there,
C       E7                 Dm       F
The cross he's got to bear,


[Verse]
C                          E7
His parents call, for their son,
       Dm                            F
The war that no one's won


[Bridge]
C       E7        Dm      F
If he was in slaughter,
C        E7           Dm      F
He’d make the perfect daughter.


[Chorus]
C                 E7
It's a deadname birthday
Dm            F
No one to cry to
C             E7
A deadname birthday,
Dm            F
But I believe in you
C                   E7
It's all going to be fine,
Dm            F
Wait for a line,
C                    E7
Keep it up never tell a soul,
Dm            F
Just let yourself go
