The Cardboard Swords - Flannel
[Intro]
Gm Dm Bb (2x)
[Verse 1]
Gm Dm
You said that I should
Bb
get a clue
Bb
Well I did, I did, I did, Idid
Gm Dm
And it was to rid my heart
Bb
of you
Bb
So I did, I did, I did, I did
Gm Dm
Exactly what you said I
Bb
should do
I played the sleuth and I found a clue
Gm Dm
And I still can't stop
Bb
thinking about you
[Verse 2]
That standard procedure
Gm Dm Bb
You know, you know, you know me
So fuck with my heart at your leisure
Gm Dm
That's how it goes, it's
Bb
been going lately
Bb
Said I was the
Gm
best simultaneously
Dm
the worst
Bb
And best case
scenario, I should be cursed
Gm Dm
For the rest of my life,
Bb
for the rest of my life
Gm
Well, I feel like I Am
Dm
cause I will never have you by
Bb
my side
[Verse 3]
Gm Dm
So stay warm in that
flannel
Bb
That I left on your bed
Gm
There was no way in
Dm
hell I could put it on after that
Bb
Cause we were both soaking wet
Gm
And I apologize if from
Dm
time to time
Bb
This makes you think of me
Gm
Just imagine seeing that
Dm
stupid shirt
Bb
Every time you fucking
breathe
That's how it feels to be
Gm Dm Bb
me
Gm Dm Bb

(Spoken)
N.C.
You have proven to be more of a maze
Than construction season in
the Heritage Hill one-ways
For someone who's not from
Grand Rapids on their very first days
But me, I paid attention on
my late night skates
N.C.
And when I was driving
around in my van and how my
best friend,
Who lived here his whole life,
Told me I know the city
better than him
He said "Ty, it's like the
back of your hand."
N.C.
I said "Alec, I'd trade it
in a heartbeat for the backbone
of a man."
I had to change my way home
from work cause I couldn't
even stand to
Drive by her, and see her
on her front lawn, with her
bikini on getting a tan
Cause, here's the thing
N.C.
I don't need Fountain or
Union Street
For anything except
Martha's Vineyard and the
bakery so
I'll just take the back of
Michigan Hill down
East, turn around and
follow Lion all the way there
cause this is what I found
N.C.
Life, may or may not be
about finding true love
But, it's certainly not
about begging for it from
someone so
I'll keep doing the things
that I do
Late nights, fat blunts,
pizza pies with my crew
N.C.
Driving home from whatever
bar's half-off after two
While I'm blasting my
favorite tunes and
Seeing my favorite local
bands at whatever venues
While you keep doing the
things that you do, shifting
blame, and twisting truth
N.C.
And making absolutely
positively sure that everybody
in the room is certain
That the victim just had to be you, well
[Outro]
Gm Dm Bb
I'll keep doing the things that I do
Gm Dm Bb
And I'll find someone who
Gm Dm Bb
wants me like I wanted you
Bb
So sing along at a show
Gm Dm Bb
this weekend
Bb
Act a fool, get drunk
Bb Gm Dm Bb
with these friends, that you love
Bb
Someone somewhere said all
Gm Dm Bb
good things end
Bb
So what in my mind made
me think this time would
Gm Dm Bb
be different
