Eb Bb Gm F x2
[Verse chords]
Eb
Guess what I'm done
Bb
Writing you songs
Gm
You'll give up your job at the bank
F Eb
Proving money's not fun when you're gone
Bb
So this is the first verse
Cm
It's not very long
F
But I'm ready to move on
Eb
Guess what I'm done
Bb
Writing your book
Gm
The ending got twisted around
F Eb
But for all the hell that it took
Bb
The electrical wires
Cm
They'll hum in the walls
F
In the room that I rent now without you

[Chorus chords]
Eb Bb
I've got friends who (la la lie)
Gm F
Will help me pull through (la la lie, la la la lie)
Eb Bb
The spaceman that can't get high
Cm F
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Eb Bb Gm F
That's right
[Verse chords]
So guess what I'm done
Drawing your pictures
I'm dulling the day with a drink
In a parking garage by the theatre
We met for a movie
Every scene was a sign
We made out through their meaning
[Chorus chords]
Well I've got friends who (la la lie)
Will help me pull through (la la lie, la la la lie)
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Solo, same chords as verse]
Eb
Guess what I'm done
Bb
Writing you songs
Gm
I'm far too unstable to settle
F Eb
I doubt that the doctors are wrong
Bb Cm F
So I'll wait by a palm tree, a palm tree, a palm tree
[Chorus chords]
Well I've got friends (la la lie)
To help me pull through (la la lie, la la la lie)
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Well I've got friends who (la la lie)
Will help me pull through (la la lie, la la la lie)
This song for a long goodbye
I'm coming back, I'm coming back to my girl
Back to my girl
This song for a long goodbye
I'm coming back to my girl by July (end on F)
