D A A7
[Verse 1]
G Em
Throwback to my entire life,
G Em
seen through a broken-down viewfinder
G Em
neurologists would call my mind.
A A7
but I think I know better than those science guys-
G Em
cause i’ve got proof the lens is broken,
G Em
and only rosy tinted slides.
G Em
and recall errors are a given,
A A7
I’m pretty sure my brain’s a kid’s toy, not a mind,
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
but hey - at least it’s got a place
G Em
for memories, but with them comes the spirit of the staircase.
G Em
But who needs longing for the things I never said?
A A7
I live by a mantra, the tattoo that I’ll get will say
[Chorus]
D
No Ragrets spelled with an "A"
C G
inked into both arms, cause it’s my favorite saying
Bb
and I’ll spread it to the world until I’m dead and the
A A7
cheap tattoo is decaying.
D
Regarding bad decisions, I make them objectively
C G
then scatter the truth when the blame falls back onto me
Bb A A7
but who cares? I’ve no conscience to carry with me.
[Bridge]
G Em
And if you told me I’d be better in a year,
G Em
A point in fourth-dimension space that’s kind of far from here,
G Em A A7
I would gladly hibernate, and wait it out.
[Verse 2]
G Em
I’d emerge like a butterfly,
G Em
And neurotypically fly
G Em
In beautiful uncrooked lines
A A7
My wings would capture everybody’s fleeting eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
But why live in the future or the past?
G Em
Who cares about bugs when their lives barely last
G Em
I'd rather live to 80 than die after just a day
A A7
Though that may be nice, it would be much easier to say
[Chorus]
D
No Ragrets spelled with an "A"
C G
inked into both arms, cause it’s my favorite saying
Bb
and I’ll spread it to the world until I’m dead and the
A A7
cheap tattoo is decaying.
D
Regarding bad decisions, I make them objectively
C G
then scatter the truth when the blame falls back onto me
Bb A A7
but who cares? I’ve no conscience to carry with me.
[Coda]
G Em A A7
That's the way it will be.
(Repeat until end)
