I've tried to match chords to the lyrics as best as I can
[Intro]
C5 G5 A5
[Verse 1]
C5 G5 A5
You think you're gonna die at the age of 33
C5 G5 A5
And you say you always end things before you're in
C5 G5 A5 C5 G5 A5
You make double vision bad decisions, but that's okay with me
C5 G5 A5
You text me at the wheel, which you really shouldn't do
C5 G5 A5
And you know I'll tell you off, even though I do it too
C5 G5 A5 C5 G5 A5
Your disorganised perfectionism is okay with me
[Chorus]
G Am Em F
I know life's too short to settle down
G Am Em F
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
G Am Em F G
It's hard for me to put my arms around you
Am Em F
When your backpack's on
[Riff]
