Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I woke up in a truck stop parking lot
A girl in a [G]red white and blue
halter top [D]was staring
[G]Thick glasses like min[D]e
And a low bored [G]monotone [D]vocal
fry [G](I like that)

[Verse 2]
[D]She said, who's the band on the bus?
What bus?
That one, nerd, the one that you got off of
[G]Oh,[D] pro[G]bably no one
you've heard [D]of

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Don't know what came over me
[F#m]As I awkwardly dropped my room key
[G]I said I think that's yours
And three hours [Am]later,
I was [Bb]banging this verse out
[D]Oh no, head meet [G]floor
I don't [D]wanna do this no more
[G]Every kiss is a jam band solo
Never gonna say YOLO [C]no mo'
My mind says [D]no
My body says [G]hell no
Let this be over
[D]Exhausting lover
[A]

[Verse 4]
[D]Not sure if she couldn't stop
Or if she wouldn't stop
As the motel carpet gave
me [G]five more raw spots
[D]What's that stabbing my back?
Ah, that's a [G]wire from her [D]halter top
There was an hour where
her head kept banging
Against the bottom of a table top
I saw my life in a split screen
But life's [G]just one [D]shot

[Verse 5]
[Bm]What the hell would I tell my girlfriend
[F#m]But the thing is she's not
[G]my girlfriend anymore
I traded [Am]it all for [G]some third
[Bb]degree carpet [G]burn

[Verse 6]
[D]Oh no, head meet [G]floor
[D]I don't wanna do this no more
[G]Every kiss is a jam band solo
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'
[C]My mind says no[D]
My [C]body says [G]hell no
Let this be [D]over

[Interlude 1]
Exhausting lover
[D][G][A][G][A][Gsus4]
[G][Eb][Cm][C][Dsus4]
[D][E][G]

[Verse 7]
[D]Then she handed me
a Hot Wheels track
I said, girl that's pretty weird
Where did you get that?
[G]She said never mind that
[D]Here nerd, beat my ass in the
[G]bath like my dad did
When I was a [D]bad kid
I said, nah what's this
Let me up out of the Motel Six
And tell me where my [Dsus4]pants went
[D]That's when I heard
the door breaking
It wasn't [Dsus4]housekeeping

[Verse 8]
It was her boyfriend
[Bm]Don't know what came over me
[F#m]Out the door in my boxer briefs[G]
Some dude live tweeted
As I [F]ran half-naked [G]past
past a [Abdim]Cracker B[Bb]arrel

[Verse 9]
[D]Oh no, head meet [G]floor
[D]I don't wanna do this no more
[G]Every kiss is a jam band solo
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'
[C]My mind says no
My body says [G]hell no
Let this [D]be over

[Interlude 2]
Exhausting lover
[A][D][G]

[Verse 10]
I don't wanna do this no [D]more
[G][D]
Exhausting [G]lover
I don't wanna do this no more
