[Verse 1]
Em                C
Melt Antarctica, savin' Africa
G                 D
I failed algebra and I misused some times
Em                  C
We're at war again, save the world again
G                    D
You can all join in, but you can't smoke inside

[Verse 2]
Em                              C
You said "Take me home, I can't stand this place
           G                         D
'Cause there's too many hipsters and I just can't relate"
Em                    C
You're my neon gypsy, my desert rain
G                              D
You're my "Helter Skelter", oh how can I explain that

[Chorus] 
Em                C     G
You're the best I ever had
     D                Em        C      G
And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
    D       Em                      C
But I read that soda kills you and Jesus saves
    G                  D
On the bathroom wall where I saw your name
Em                 C    G
You're the best I ever had
D
I won't be the same

Em C G D

[Verse 3]
Em                        C
Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones
G                            D
I'm looking at the crowd and they're staring at their phones
Em                              C
They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear (Oh God!)
G                      D
And maybe once a year, I think they'll clean my car

[Verse 4]
Em                    C
Caught my reflection, drop the call
G                       D
I've been medicated with cigarettes and alcohol
Em                C
I got vertigo, no I can't see straight
G                        D
I got obligations though I'm usually late but

Em                C     G
You're the best I ever had
     D                Em        C      G
And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
    D       Em                      C
But I think I dropped my wallet in Santa Fe
    G                  D
Lost the only picture I had of you that day and
Em                 C    G
You're the best I ever had
D
I won't be the same

[Bridge]
Em                 C
Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota

Em                C     G
You're the best I ever had (you're the best I ever had)
     D                Em        C      G
And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head (get stuck in my head)
    D       Em                      C
But I passed the longest sign on the interstate
    G                      D
Saying "Find someone before it gets too late"
Em                 C    G
You're the best I ever had (you're the best I ever had)
D
I won't be the same

[End]
Em                 C
Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota (Oh why, oh why)
G                    D
I think I love you, but don't even know you (I won't be the same)

Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota (you're the best I ever had)
G                    D                        Em
