Version 1
[Verse 1]
Am
All I really know is that I'm
G
Never coming home
D C
And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you so
Am
I'm gonna go and get an internship
G
and then I'll get a job
B Em
and then I'll pack all of my shit up and fucking go
[Chorus]
C
I'll go to Mexico
G
I'll go to Canada
Am B Em
I'll mail myself to New York City in a box
Am D
You'll never hear from me again
G
Save for an envelope I'll send
Em Am D Am G
Containing fifteen billion dollars and some photographs of dogs
[Verse 2]
Am
For half of my short life I've kept
G
a drawer in my room for all the
D Em
little trinkets I consider gold
Am
Photographs, bottle caps,
G
Lanyards, flowers, crumpled maps,
D B Em
Things that look particularly old
Am
The plan has always been
G
That I should throw them out the window
B7
If the building were to catch on fire
Em
Given the dogs were safe outside
Am
But the drawer is full of trash
G
and I could turn it all to ash
Am
Just for the fleeting joy I'd get from adding
Em G Em
More smoke to the sky
[Chorus]
C
I'll go to Mexico
G
I'll go to Canada
Am B Em
I'll mail myself to New York City in a box
Am D
You'll never hear from me again
G
Save for an envelope I'll send
Em Am D Am G
Containing fifteen billion dollars and some photographs of dogs
[Instrumental]
Em Am D G Em C D B7
[Bridge]
B C
Well sharks are smooth if you pet them one way
G
They are spikey you pet the other
D B Em
And my mom said that if they stop moving they'll die
Am
Hammerheads swim past
G
I've got my face up against the glass
D G
As I whisper to my sisters "as will I"
[Chorus]
Em
I'll go to Mexico
G
I'll go to Canada
Am B Em
I'll mail myself to New York City in a box
Am D
You'll never hear from me again
G
Save for an envelope I'll send
Em Am D Am G
Containing fifteen billion dollars and some photographs of dogs
[Outro Instrumental]
