My Greatest Invention

A                  D
I wonder where you are right now
F#m             A
I guess I always do
Bm                 F#m
People mention you all the time
B                       D
Without me asking them to
A                       D
I take the dirt they give me
F#m             A
I put it in the books
Bm              F#m
I smear around the memories
B               D
Until I like how it looks
Bm              F#m
I get a taste for everything
Bm              E
Then I swallow the hook

[Chorus]
A                       D
You were the life of the party
Bm                      E
Even when you didn't attend
A                       D
I would get lost telling stories
Bm                                
But I'd always have to change up 
   E
the end
D                       A
I'd complete the collection
Bm              A
Of my favorite reflections
D               C#m
With an all out rejection
C#      F#m             E       
Of our true imperfections
        Dm      G

Continues after the ad
                        A
You were my greatest invention


[Verse 2]
A                            D
It's getting hard to keep in order
F#m                      A
My different versions of you
Bm                              
Which one's just an answer to a 
F#m
question?
B                       D
Which one is actually true?
A                       D
You can turn a second inside out
F#m                     A
And end up with an eternity
Bm                      F#m
But to polish up a diamond
B                       D
You have to clear some debris
Bm                      F#m
It doesn't work for everyone
Bm                      E
But it works for me

[Chorus]
A                       D
You were the life of the party
Bm                      E
Even when you didn't attend
A                       D
I would get lost telling stories
Bm                      E
But I'd always have to change up the
 end
D                       A
I'd complete the collection
Bm              A
Of my favorite reflections
D               C#m
With an all out rejection
C#      F#m             E       
Of our true imperfections
Dm      G

                        A
You were my greatest invention


[Chorus]
A                       D
You were the life of the party

                        A       Dm
You were my greatest invention

                        A       Dm
You were my greatest invention
      G

A                       D
I wonder where you are right now
F#m     E          A
I guess I always do
