Guest Room

	  		 

 

Verse 1:
G                      Em 
- I don't even have a guest room yet 
C 
- How can I expect to die like that? 
       G                      Em 
With space that's shared and rent that's due 
           C 
When it's still my turn to vacuum 
G                  Em 
- I lived past my first line in the dirt 
C 
- Never thought my twenties could come first 
      G                           Em 
I've talked too many friends down over the phone 
        C 
Not to meet up at our next milestone 



       Em           B 
If I'm -- gonna be somebody 
   G           A 
Deliberately alive 
                 C 
I want to do it right 


Verse 2:

G                       Em 
- I pay somebody on the internet 
C 
- To talk through things I don't know how to fix 
          G               Em 
But it's all exercises in buoyancy 
       C 
Not insured for the help that I need 
G               Em 
- And I give myself fat lips 
C 
- Chewin' out my cheeks when I'm anxious 
         G                           Em 
So I've told a few friends who say, "Be gentle, kid" 
         C 
But that only works some of the time 



       Em           B 
If I'm -- gonna be somebody 
   G           A 
Deliberately alive 
                C 
How do I do it right?

G           Am               C

                 C 
(Going young or getting old) 
 G               Am             C

      G               Am            C 
It's not like I had a say in being born 
                 C 
(Going young or getting old) 
              G 
At least I'm not convinced 
    Am                   C 
I deserve either one anymore
