Happy Valentine's Day to you

Hope it's better than mine

'Cause my dog's about to die, yeah
Am G C
Got her back when I was 15

My consolation prize, a real dream (Dream, dream)

I wish my dad was more involved in mine
D F
But not like that, really not like that, yeah
Am G C
My girlfriend's at Coco's house

[Bridge: All]
-
I just smoked a whole pack of Parliaments
I wanna go back to partying
Even though I'm old
F
Remember hangin' out at Grumpy's?
Chillin' with some dudes in their forties
C
They always had my back
D
But never had their own
[Pre-Chorus: Jake]
Am G C
Kinda wonder what they're doing now
Am G C
If they had dogs and they had to put 'em down
Am G C
Hope my girl's somewhere barkin' in the clouds
D
With her dead pet friends
F
Where their love don't end
[Chorus: Jake & Nathan]
Am Em F C
I don't even care what my best friends are doing
D C F C
I'm in bed with the devil and I kinda need a drink

Hope it's better than mine because my dog's about to die, yeah
Got her back when I was 15
My parents split up so they gave her to me
A consolation prize, a real dream
But she always liked my momma better
And I don't even care what my best friends are doing
I'm in bed with the devil, and I kinda need a drink
Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste
I'm a bad dream baby, and I'll never go away
I'm worried about Britney Spears
It's pretty fucked up how her dad runs her life
I wish my dad was more involved in mine
But not like that really not like that, yeah
My girlfriend's at Coco's house

Hope my girl's somewhere barking in the clouds
With her dead pet friends, where the love don't end, yeah
