Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats.

Peter Pan collars but my daughter’s growing up

She’s gonna be a lot like me,

but I don’t wanna be at all like me
 F
Yellow buzz-cuts, pulling out stingers,
        Dm
you’re telling me I’m  holding up eleven fingers and

stranger things than death can happen

to lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits

This isn’t my first Christmas, I know mistletoe when I see it

Verse 2:
F
Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples.
    Dm
If they could see the future back when times were simple

would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off?
 C
Let you speak or take advantage of how
 F
If everyone’s sick, well then nobody can catch it,
       Dm
and if everybody’s different how could anybody match?

And we’re looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we’ve laid out.

Wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we’ve played out

everybody’s all up in my god damn business

 F                          Dm                  Bb                 C
Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee sunset smudged across your brow
 F                 Dm                   Bb           C
Warmer tears than you’ve grown used to since then

a toast to the nosebleed seats and the big dream sequence where you’re found
                          C
Guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed
 Bb                    C

This isn’t my first anything. This isn’t my first anything
 Bb                    A7                F                 Dm
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that everybody’s in on everybody’s business
