The Lows

C B


[Verse]
C         Em        
Cliche malaise in a dumb 
Am         G
conversation
   F                  G
Predictable drama for 5 AM exits
C            Em        Am 
Fridays they only pick up the 
      G
recycling
   F                            G
So thank god it’s Monday ‘cause I’m 
useless garbage.


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I can relate
    Am
I’d throw me away
     Dm                   Em
They discontinued my train
    Dm          C
Now I can’t get home


[Break]
C Em Am G


[Verse]
C           Em        Am         
Trade a few beers for crashing on 
 G
couches
Continues after the ad
    F                   G
And overstaying your welcome with 
your parents
        C         Em               
They’re furrowing brows while they 
Am          G
wonder what happened.
        F                     G
They’re so fucking bad hiding their 
disappointment.


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
They can’t relate.
          Am
Why’d you do this to me?
         Dm
Now they canceled my plane
       Em  Em Em      Dm         
I’m on the runway but I can’t get 
 C
home.

[Bridge 1]
Dm                   G
All of the things we collected and 
thought would
C                Em        Am   
remind us of the people we 
     G
wanted to be
Dm                       G
Pile up like bricks in a poorly made
 tote bag
       C         Em          Am  
that’s doing its best not to 
         G
burst at the seams
Dm                     G
But sooner or later coffee mugs and 
magnets
    C          Em            Am  
are gonna come crashing down onto
     G
 the street
    Dm                             
And you’ll stand there holding the 
G
tide from your eyes saying


[Bridge 2]
 C     C            C           
“Stop, wait for the good times ahead
C
 of me.
  Am    Am             Am         
I can’t think that the best is in 
Am
back of me.”
Dm    Dm     Dm          Dm
Clean up the shards of ceramic
   G     G        G           G
Or leave them for someone who needs 
it.
      E7    E7         E7     
Yeah, stop, think good times are 
    E7
ahead of you.
Am    Am          Am         Am
Stop, think, good times are ahead of
 you.
Dm             Dm         Dm    
This isn’t the end. We’ll always
    Dm
 be friends.
          Em               Em     
And we’ll smile like we’re falling
    G           G
 in love when I see you again.
