Generally

Capo 6

G                  C                          G
Girl you're a sight that's worth seein'

G                         C                      G
Your brown eyes caught me day dreamin'

     C                         G
So even though you hang around

 C                       G
I'm still looking at the ground

C                G                           D
Wondering if our shoes could match

        C         Em
And generally

          Am        C
I'd prefer apathy

            C                        D             G
But for you I might just take you away

        C         Em
And maybe we'll see

          Am        C
If you'd ever ask me

            C                        D             G
But for you I might just take you away

This town is a place that's worth leavin'
No matter what you believe in

There's no use hanging around
Let's pack up and hit the ground
Wondering if you and I would last

Overdose

Capo 2

C                      G7
Were you even qualified

         C                         G7
Born in the summer of '95?

           F           
Fell in love with me

            Am                     G
and the Empire State of Mind

I'm two years now past my prime
Took you two years to realize
The strings I had
Never really kept you alive

     C                   Am7
So lend me your overdose

           C             Am7
In the form of a burgundy rose

        F                          G                            C
And we'll pretend that I'll be alright in the end

And I'll let you come back to me
Unless you choose better company
And we'll pretend that I'll be alright in the end

It was only a matter of time
Before this daydream left my life
Whispers of a laugh
Linger back in my mind

Over and Out

I'm two years past my prime,
and you have two years until you realize
That whatever strings I have
Are no longer keeping you together

It was only a matter of time
Before this daydream left my life
With only whispers of a laugh
Teasing me now for good measure

Why can't you see?
This is you and me
Why can't you see?
No matter where I'll be

It won't be over, it won't be over
It's not over, it's not over

We never had our signature kiss
Dancing in the rain, something I can't miss
Etch another date in that monolith
Standing in soft soil, yet so weathered

Why can't you see?
This is you and me
Why can't you see?
No matter where I'll be

It won't be over, it won't be over
It's not over, it's not over

Over and out, over and out
I told my smile to cut it out
Were you looking for a way out?
I told my smile to cut it out

Over and...

Why can't you see?
This is you and me
Why can't you see?
No matter where I'll be
It won't be over, it won't be over
It's not over, it's not over
