[Intro]
D

[Verse 1] {Phoebe Bridgers}
D
My telephone, it doesn't have a camera
D                               D/G
If it did I'd take a picture of myself
D
If it did I'd take a picture of the water
D/C#               D
And the man on the offramp
D                           D/G           D
Holding up the sign that's asking me for help

D                                      D/C#
I got a job and I'll work here for the summer
D                                     D/B
I fold the towels and set them by the pool
D
Everyone looks happy with each other
          D/C#          D                         D/B
'Til they step away and say the thing they really meant
D
They always sound so cruel


[Chorus] {Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst}
Asus4                    G5
I didn't know what I was in for
D                         G6/B
When I signed up for that run
Asus4                     G5
There's no way I'm curing cancer
         Em9
But I'll sweat it out
       D/G                                D
I feel so proud now for all the good I've done


[Verse 2] {Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst}
D                                        D/B
I know a girl who owns a boutique in the city
D                                  D/B
Selling clothes to the fashionably late
D                                      D/B
Says she cries at the news but doesn't really
           D/C#               D                 D/B                          D
Cause it's too much fondness, too much time and too much plastic money to be made


[Chorus] {Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst}
Asus4                    G
I didn't know what I was in for
D                          G6/B
When they took my belt and strings
Asus4                 G5
They told me I'd gone crazy
   Em9
My arms are strapped in a straight jacket
     D/G                    D
So I couldn't save those TV refugees

             Em9
When they're on their backs
     D/C#
In a bloody bath
        D
Full of Sarin gas
     D/G
On a screen


[Chorus] {Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst}
Em9                     G5
I didn't know what I was in for
D                      G6/B
When I laid out in the sun
Asus4                   G5
We get burned for being honest
            Em9          D/G               D
I've really never done anything, for anyone


[Outro] {Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst}
D
To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me
D                                D/B
Otherwise I have to listen to me think
Asus4                    G6/B
Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out
    D/C#                             D                                   Dsus2/G
Sit on the couch and think about how living's just a promise that I made
