[Intro]
G Bm
I really was born at 9:29 AM on 9/29
D A
You think I'm lying but I'm, I'm being dead serious
Bm D A
Okay, I'll prove it
[Verse]
Bm
Well, who am I? I'm almost 25
D A
Can't remember half the time that I've been alive
Bm
'Cause half was in a cheap apartment
D A
And half was on the Eastside (Eastside)
Bm
They said don't meet your heroes, they're all fuckin' weirdos
A
And God knows that they were right
Bm
Because nobody loves you, they just try to fuck you
A
Then put you on a feature on the b-Side
Bm
And who do you call when it's late at night?
D A
When the headlines just don't paint the picture right
Bm
When you look at yourself on a screen and say
D A
"Oh my God, there's no way that's me"
Bm
And I, I quit smoking, well recently, I tried
D A
And I bought another house, and I never go outside
Bm
And I remember this girl with pink hair in Detroit
D A
Well, she told me
Bm
She said, "Ashley, you gotta promise us that you won't die
D A
'Cause we need you," and honestly, I think that she lied
Bm
And I remember the names of every single kid I've met
D A
But I forget half the people who I've gotten in bed
Bm
And I've stared at the sky in Milwaukee
A
And hoped that my father would finally call me
Bm
And it's just these things that I'm thinkin' for hours
A
And I'm pickin' my hair out in clumps in the shower
Bm
Lost the love of my life to an ivory powder
D A
But then I realize that I'm no higher power
Bm
That I wasn't in love then, and I'm still not now
D A
And I'm so happy I figured that out
Bm
I've got a long way to go until self-preservation
A
Think my moral compass is on a vacation
Bm
And I can't believe I still feed my fucking temptation
A
I'm still looking for my salvation
[Chorus]
Bm A
Soft and slow, watch the minutes go
Bm D A Bm
Count out loud, so we know you don't keep 'em for yourself
D A
Watch the minutes go
Bm D A
Count out loud, so we know you don't keep 'em for yourself
[Interlude]
Bm A
I think I have a confession to make, I feel like (So we know you don't)
A
I need to say that I was really born at 9:26
Bm D
I saw my birth certificate, and I'm a liar
A
And I'm a fucking liar
[Outro]
N.c.
Soft and slow, watch the minutes go
N.c.
Count out loud, so we know you don't keep 'em for yourself
