F C Em Am G D/F#

[Verse]
     F                   C        
You probably pictured it 
   Em
differently
     Am     G           D/F#
Than rusty VWs all your life

   F                         
At one point almost married a 
 C          Em
butcher
   Am         G           D/F#
So solid, so grounded, a craftsman, 
you thought

[Chorus]
     F                    Em
Now solving crosswords in bed
F               Em          F   
Leave the light on, there’s no 
        G
one that minds

[Verse]
F                       C         
’08 you stopped wearing make-up
 Em

       Am         G        D/F#
You’re sick just thinking about 
Bangladesh

Continues after the ad
     F                         C  
Your green batik dress doesn’t fit
              Em
 you no more
         Am            G          
That’s a shame cause batik’s 
  D/F#
coming back

[Chorus]
     F                             
Now faint-hearted dance moves in 
  Em
the bathroom
F         Em          F      G
You and a mirror, the two of you

[Verse]
F                       C         
One year you dated a professor
 Em

       Am            G         
On the third date he told you he 
        D/F#
liked peeing games

           F                    
You always wanted to paint or to 
 C          Em
emigrate
        Am             G          
But the hassle and the errands 
  D/F#
just fucked it all up

[Chorus]
F                           Em
Grandma’s still sending you money
    F          Em      F   G
For one decent dinner, no +1

[Verse]
F                  C           Em
Petrarca wrote 300 sonnets
Am        G          D/F#
All for a woman that didn’t exist

       F                        
On the way home you cried in the 
 C          Em
taxi
Am         G     D/F#
Love is an awful enemy, my dear

[Chorus]
F                  Em
This year you are 33
F            Em      F          G
But when you cry you still look 16
