You probably pictured it differently 
     Am     G           D/F# 
Than rusty VWs all your life

At one point almost married a butcher 
   Am         G           D/F# 
So solid, so grounded, a craftsman, you thought

     F                    Em 
Now solving crosswords in bed

Leave the light on, there’s no one that minds

You’re sick just thinking about Bangladesh

Your green batik dress doesn’t fit you no more

That’s a shame cause batik’s coming back 

Chorus 
     F                               Em 
Now faint-hearted dance moves in the bathroom 
F         Em          F      G 
You and a mirror, the two of you

One year you dated a professor 
       Am            G                 D/F# 
On the third date he told you he liked peeing games 

           F                     C          Em 
You always wanted to paint or to emigrate 
        Am             G            D/F# 
But the hassle and the errands just fucked it all up 

Chorus 
F                           Em 
Grandma’s still sending you money 
    F          Em      F   G 
For one decent dinner, no +1

Petrarca wrote 300 sonnets 
Am        G          D/F# 
All for a woman that didn’t exist 

       F                         C          Em 
On the way home you cried in the taxi 
Am         G     D/F# 
Love is an awful enemy, my dear

This year you are 33 
F            Em      F          G 
But when you cry you still look 16
