Holding tight to my jacket, things have gotten better than I said.

I thought of getting back in school, but thought again instead, 
Am 
of Singing songs in bars, and basements for my friends 
        F                   G               F           C

Guess my plans have Changed some yes.

Now my nights are getting longer and its so damn hard to sleep, 
Am 
Except for our Sundays, it's a promise that we keep, 
            F         G      F              C 
To sleep in later and have a pint before we eat.

Guess my plans have Changed some yes.

I'm trying to relax more to make her cry some less,

But the hour's getting late 'cause I'm a fucking mess,
