Overthinkin

[Verso 1]
 
          D 
I used to cough at my uncle for smokin 
                     G                   D 
Now I beg him for a toke of his American Spirit 
                     D                                                Em 
It's Easter and I'm drunk enough to call out your name into an empty abyss 
                   A                   A7                D 
Just in case you'd hear it, but you're gone and you're older 
                                                 G                       D 
Maybe one day I'll be grown enough to not need a band-aid every time I'm bleedin 
D                                                 Em 
Maybe it wasn't my fault, but tell me how can you fall out of love 
                   A7 
just cause you're overthinkin? 
               Em                                  A                  D 
You can't turn lemons into limes, can't chase what you're not seekin 
              Em                                  A7 
You could say"I love you" all day, but you ain't gotta mean it, well

D D/C#       Bm        Bm7              Em      Em7 
I'm sleepin' good tonight, might see a shooting star 
            A            A7 
Wish I may, wish I might forget about 
    D           D/C# 
the love that I knew 
          Bm                     Bm7              Em 
Love born just to walk out, well I've been born again 
                  Em7              A                A7 
So if you've ever kissed me on the mouth, those are dead lips 
 


[Verso 2]
 
               D 
I've never had my first kiss as a new bitch 
                  G                   D 
I've never seen a door I knew what to do with 
                                   A      A7 
And last year was twelve January's long 
                      D 
But I've always loved New Year's cause I love kissin 
                G               D 
But I've logged way more hours missing kissin you than I ever kissed you 
    Em                     A 
And God, does that feel so wrong 
      D 
Well, New Year's Eve I went home with someone 
   G                D 
We snuck around and had our fun 

But when it was said and done, I realized I'd been laughing 
   Em               A 
at my own jokes the whole time 

                      D 
Kickin rocks with the shadow reflected in my skull 
  G                D 
I battle an ever-raging bull 
         D 
And the neighbor's dog is still barkin 
                    Em                   A 
So I guess there's one thing that didn't change 

               D 
Well, there's progress cause this year February passed 
  G                    D 
I lower my white flag to half-mast 
                                       A         A7 
And a look in the mirror is a study of redundancy 
          Bm                  F#m              Em 
As is the fact that this song even came out of me, well

D  D/C#     Bm          Bm7 
White Jesus dunked on me 
          Em                     Em7               A                      A7 
Like the girls at the pool who'd hold my head underwater till I couldn't breathe 

          D  D/C#        Bm      Bm7 
But I was told he was baptizing me 
             Em      
But tell me where was he 
       Em7            A                            A7 
In the parking lot my childhood was stripped from me 

       D                     D/C#               Bm     Bm7 
At the Waffle House like the one my dad used to take me 
         Em                      Em7                   A                     A7 
From the backseat window I could see the booths that I climbed in when I was three 

       D   D/C#        Bm       Bm7 
And if God would have intervened 
               Em      
I'd never have earned my scream 
Em7                        A          A7 
Standing here, I'd only be half of me 

        D   
Well, I scream cause I earned it 
  D/C#                         Bm          Bm7 
I scream sometimes for what he took from me 
    Em             Em7        
But mostly I scream 
           A                   A7 
Into empty fields and barren abysses 

     D  D/C#     Bm      Bm7 
Your name 
        Bm  Bm7     Em       Em7     A      A7 
Just in case you'd hear it 

     D    D/C#   
Your name 
        Bm  Bm7     Em       Em7     A      A7 
Just in case you'd hear it
