Intro: C#5 [x2], then, [C#5 - F# - C#5 - F# - C#5 - G#5]


Verse 1:
   C#5                             F#                      C#5
So happy I was invited, give me a reason to get out of the city
F#                      C#5 
See you inside watching swarms on TV
          G#5
Livin' or dyin' in New York it means nothing to me
        C#5                           F#                        C#5
I gave my heart to the Army, the only sentimental thing I could think of
     F#                         C#5
With cousins and colors and somewhere overseas
          G#5
But it'll take a better war to kill a college man like me
C#5                               F#                    C#5
I'm too tired to drive anyway, anyway right now, do you care if I stayed?
F#                  C#5
You can put on your bathing suits
         G#5
And I'll try to find somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough


Chorus chords:
F#                                   C#5
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
F#                            D#5
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo


Post-chorus chords:
F#                           C#5
You and your sister live in a  Lemonworld
F#                   C#5
I want to sit in and die
F#                           C#5
You and your sister live in a  Lemonworld
            D#5
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
F#                           C#5
You and your sister live in a  Lemonworld
F#                   C#5
I want to sit in and die
F#                           C#5
You and your sister live in a  Lemonworld
            D#5
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo


Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
This pricey stuff makes me dizzy, I guess I've always been a delicate man
Takes me a day to remember a day
I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
I was a comfortable kid, but I don't think about it much anymore
Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party
I'm too tired to drive anyway, anyway right now, do you care if I stayed?
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find something on this thing that means nothin' enough


Post-chorus chords:
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...


Outro:
F#                            C#5
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo...
