The Weakerthans


Tom: G

G
....How I don't know how to sing,
                        D
I can barely play this thing,
D
But you never seem to mind,
                         C
And you tell me to fuck off,
C
When I need somebody to,
                          G
How you make me laugh so hard,
G
How whole years refuse to stay,
                           D
Where we told them to bad dog,
D
Locked up blindly in a word,
                     C
Or a misplaced souvenir,
C
How the past chews on your shoes,
                            G
And these memories lick my ear.

[Chorus]

D   
...I know,
Bm         C                 G   
You might roll your eyes at this,
D   
But I'm so
Bm         C
Glad that you exist.

[Verse]

G
How we waste our precious time,
                             D
Marching in the picket lines,
D
That surround those striking hearts,
                          C
And the time is never now,
C    
And we know who we should love,
                       G
But we're never certain how.

[Chorus]

D   
...I know,
Bm         C                 G   
You might roll your eyes at this,
D   
But I'm so
Bm         C        G   
Glad that you exist.
D  
...I know,
Bm         C                 G   
You might roll your eyes at this,
D   
But I'm so
Bm         C          
Glad that you exist.

[Interlude]

G

[Chorus]

G 
I know,
Bm         C                 G   
You might roll your eyes at this,
D   
But I'm so
Bm         C        G   
Glad that you exist.
