Capo: 1st fret
[Intro] (strum once)
C Em Am Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
C Em
Simmer down, simmer down
Am F C
They say we’re too young now to amount to anything else
Em
But look around
Am F
We worked too damn hard for this just to give it up now
(start strumming)
C Em
If you don’t swim, you’ll drown
Am F
But don’t move, honey
[Chorus]
C Em
Because you look so perfect standing there
Am F
In my American Apparel underwear
C Em Am F
And I know now that I’m so down
C Em
Yeah, your lipstick stain is a work of art
Am F
Got your name tattooed in an arrow heart
C Em Am F
And I know now that I’m so down
C
Hey-ey-hey
Em Am F C
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Em Am F
Hey-ey-ey-ey
[Verse 2] (palm mute lines 1-4)
C Em
But look around, just look around
Am F
Yeah, this deadbeat town’s here just to keep us down
C Em
While I was out
Am F
I found myself alone just thinking
C Em
If I showed up with a plane ticket
Am F
And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it
C G
Would you wanna run away too?
Am N.C. F
'Cause all I really want is you
[Chorus]
C Em
Yeah, you look so perfect standing there
Am F
In my American Apparel underwear
C Em Am F
And I know now that I’m so down
C Em
Yeah, this mixtape's straight out of ‘94
Am F
And your ripped skinny jeans lying on the floor
C Em Am N.C. F
And I know now that I’m so down
C
Hey-ey-hey
Em Am F C
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Em Am F C
Hey-ey-ey-ey

’cause all i really want is you
[chorus]
and you look so perfect standing there
in my american apparel underwear
and i know now that i’m so down

i’ve got your ripped skinny jeans lying on the floor
and i know now that i’m so down
