[Verse]

      C
It’s lonely in the Garden State
     Am
the place of no left turns
        F
In a motel 6 in East Brunswick
         G
smoking till my lungs burn
       C
I put ice in the trash can
    Am
to cool down my beer
                F
Breathe in the perfume in the room
        G
of the person last here
         C
I can’t stand this singing
         Am
I can’t stand this song
         F
I can’t stand being home
           G
but I can’t stand being gone
         C
My ears ring when it’s quiet
                     Am
and I ain’t heard a thing all day
         F
And I’d call if I could but right now
           G
I ain’t got nothing to say

[Chorus]

       F
And so on
      G
And so long
C           C/B           Am
Can’t keep singing these songs
     F    G
Too long
   Am
So on

[Verse]

           C
The first night we met we fucked
                Am
on the couch in my living room
               F
And spent the morning pretending it didn’t happen
           G
searching for your lost phone
         C
Which I found between the cushions
        Am
below a pile of our clothes
               F
You said you couldn’t leave without it
                   G
Lord, I should have kept my eyes closed
            C
I left for work directly then
       Am
for a fifteen hour day
           F
Made just over a hundred bucks
         G
none of which I ever saved
                 C
Didn’t hear too much from you before
       Am
never heard from you again
          F
Cause as soon as this shit starts
         G
boy it’s, it’s bound to end

[Chorus]

       F
And so on
      G
And so long
C           C/B           Am
Can’t keep singing these songs
     F    G
Too long
   Am
So on

[Verse]

               C
I throw empty beer cans at the TV
          Am
when I’m watching the news
         F
I hate Republicans, I hate Democrats
   G
I hate liberals too
         C
I think pacifists are weak
     Am
and violence is wrong
          F
But I go limp for police
             G
and I fight when it’s called for
             C
The truth is I don’t know or care
                        Am
with who or where I fit in at all
       F
But I keep on living simple
        G
riding fast and living slow
         C
I write standard boring songs
      Am
with boring standard chords
               F
Just like the best and the worst
                      G
verse chorus, verse chorus, bridge, repeat

[Chorus]

       F
And so on
      G
And so long
C           C/B           Am
Can’t keep singing these songs
     F    G
Too long
   Am
So on
       F
And so on
      G
And so long
C           C/B           Am
Can’t keep singing these songs
     F    G
Too long
   Am
So on
