RECORD COVER

1. A A A7 Bm6/9
I loved a record cover that he drew on my back
it consumed me like he wooed me, he was easy to trap
I caught him and I held him and he never even asked
why I did what I wanted and left him out of my attention span
2. A A7 D7 A
A A7 D7 A6
he was my saddest best friend
he was a beautiful man
but he could never stand up for himself
I cut him like a line
consumed him like a bottle wine
loved him like a lover
fucked him like a lover
he was mine
3. upstroke A A A7 Bm6/9
my darling record cover
I loved you like a lover
cut you like a line
fucked with your mind
1. A A A7 Bm6/9
oooh aahh, ooh la la
he loved me more than I deserved or could handle
so I left him in the past
erased him from my memory
like a shattered looking glass
but he is too good for me
he'll always say welcome back
2. A A7 D7 A
A A7 D7 A6
he was my saddest best friend
he was a beautiful man
he adored me too truly
I took advantage of that
its hard to tell where it starts, where we end
and I just can't be true
though I like to pretend
3. upstroke A A A7 Bm6/9
my darling record cover
I loved you like a lover
cut you like a line
I will make you mine
1. A A A7 Bm6/9
again! again!
D7 A6 A
yeah!

LA [123431]
1. Cmaj7 C11 G6/9--Gm6/9 G6/9--A9
LA is on a grid, i have to chill in it
girl you're erratic, youre so intoxicated,
you were at the bar last night, you don't wanna do shit--
not anymore, its like walking on a tightrope in the wind
i walk away my fear but all i want to do
is dance away my sorrows and hold you in time
2. A F#7#9 G6/9 A9
but i can't do that now
i have to drive around town
drive all over town
3. F Dm/G G6/9 A9
LA, you got the red stripe in your heart
LA, you got the red stripe in your heart
4. Cmaj7 C11 Cdim5 Cmaj7b5
you've gotta be kidding
splicing bloody mary
i still think about it often
forever, or for never
i wanted to hold onto you for always
3. F Dm/G G6/9 A9
LA got the red stripe in my car
LA got the red stripe in your heart

SIMPLE

1. C C7 B11 A7
if I don't respond you should know that I am occupied
with significance and clarity
because so much is going on, I don't know what to do with myself
all my dreams are coming true
but they won't stay the same
2. C Am D9 Am
so I change my mood like I change my clothes
I put on my glitter tits and I sing through smoke
3. C7 E7#5 A A7 B11
so much is going on
and nobody's alone
and everyone's alive
and having s good time
I won't stay simple
you won't stay sober
and I 'll forget about you
before the night is over
3. C7 E7#5 A A7 B11
I wish it were more simple to have real emotions
if I'm being horrible it's because I'm nervous
so selfish, so sorry
but you love me regardless
3. C7 E7#5 A A7 B11
I'm simple around you
I'm so glad I found you
is this real enough for you?
right now it's really all about you
1. C C7 B11 A7
4. Emaj9 E9#11 E9/10 Emaj7
convince yourself that I'll be true
and I'll make my best attempt not to destroy you
I say what I mean, but I say a lot of things
and there's a lot at stake with the promises I keep
if you believe me, good for you
and if you don't i'll sell my best side to you
5. Dmaj9 Emaj7 E E7#9
I've made it public and I can't wait
to take-take-take back these mistakes
have a blank slate, simple and clear
thee will be no lies
there will be no love
5. Dmaj9 Emaj7 E E7#9
simple is good enough for me, good enough for me
simple is good enough for me when you're not enough for me
simple is good enough for me when you're not good enough for me
simple is good enough for me, good enough for me

TESTING MYSELF

1. A(add9) Amaj7 Adom7
Em7 C7* B11 D#7
1. A(add9) Amaj7 Adom7
Em7 C7* B11 D#7
there is nothing wrong with my daily routine
but the cycle I'm married to spins a flaw that persists
like a neon sign burned behind my eyes
branded in a pattern that traps everything inside
2. F G9 A9
where do you think you're going,
building yourself
such a stupid reputation?
2. F G9 A9
in the circle effect
i fold under pressure
pulled in all directions
1. A(add9) Amaj7 Adom7
Em7 C7* B11 D#7
if you're expecting me
to make something real cool
with my artifice
you are sadly mistaken
2. F G9 A9
it's not in my nature
to be so composed
all of the time
3. F G9 C#m7 F#m7
Em7 C7* B11 Adom7
i'm treading water with no target
caught in screens behind my eyelids
drowned in narcissism
as a coping mechanism
for my own meaningless obstacles
2. F G9 A9
i got some of this
from animal collective
but mostly it's me
4. F G9 C#m7 F#m7
A9 A Amaj7 Adom7
still i try and keep it real with myself
i'm having the time of my life
in this chronic fatigue
i do nothing but eat bread
and sleep in my boyfriend's bed
and fall victim to gravity
5. A9 A Amaj7 Adom7
Em7 C7* B11 Adom7
i register reality
as abstract words and pretty harmonies
ambivalent to testing myself
as a measure of success
2. F G9 A9
if i do the things i do
and direct the cause effect at me
you can do the same to me
6. F#m7 Dm9 E7 B
i'm pulling a circle out of my wallet
to pay you with what you can't see
a nightly trip into the void
a day off on amphetamines
2. F G9 A9
i'm walking on a tightrope
swaying in a circle
smoking my own skin
2. F G9 A9
my veins intertwined
with the diamond diameter
lighting up the hologram
4. F G9 C#m7 F#m7
A9 A Amaj7 Adom7
i might as well just sleep the season through
and dream of my next life as a photograph
pulling lines off of a physics textbook
pretending to be smarter than i actually am
2. F G9 A9
when i have no idea
what's going on
most of the time
2. F G9 A9
i oscillate between
being a winner
and being a whiner
7.. Am9 Am A#dim7(?) F#m7b5
Am A#dim7 F#m7b5 C6/9
A#dim7 F#m7b5 C6/9 D9 A
i'm not expecting anything
and in this abysmal blankness
there isn't much i can do
but keep moving in the circle
make the same mistakes,
have the same success
i don't need to keep
testing myself
fainting in the gravity
until i break the cycle
until i am finished
until i am happy
