Bowling Alley

• Verse 1

Verse 1
      C                    Dm
So it went like this, I finished work
           Fmaj7
And then I drove home pissed, oh God, what's worse
               C                      Dm         Fmaj7
Than when your shit's all twisted, everything's off (Uh)
     C                    Dm
So I hit the joint and now I'm feeling better
      Fmaj7
And I strip down south 'cause I'm the naked neighbor
       C                    Dm           Fmaj7
It's a choice or am I cursed? It's a toss up


Pre-chorus
           C               Dm
Sometimes I get on my knees
           Fmaj7
Pray to God, the birds, and the bees
             C                 Dm            Fmaj7
I do it in a crisis, it's a crisis nightly now
                    C                    Dm
And through my nightgown there's a breeze
               Fmaj7
And out the window, through the trees
                  C
I see it and it's striking
          Dm            Fmaj7
It's a bowling alley party I forgot about


Chorus
            C                Dm
But I got my creams on and my gown on
      Fmaj7                                  C
And I don't think anyone cares if I go or not
                     Dm            Fmaj7
So wrong to think everyone loves me?
                                         C
But doesn't need to be around me all the time
   Dm      Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
                                                         C
But I'll be honest, yeah, the bowling alley kinda sounds nice
   Dm      Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
And I'm invited, so I'll go there tonight


Verse 2
     C                Dm
So I get up fast, hate to keep 'em waiting
        Fmaj7
Party's not fun yet cause I'm too busy praying
         C             Dm         Fmaj7
God, I'm so happy to be rushing off, mm
     C                    Dm
So I walk in hot, oh great, nobody noticed
       Fmaj7                                          C
'Til I hit that strike, then everybody noticed me (uh huh)
     Dm
Everybody loves a winner
Fmaj7
Who's gonna tell them I'm a lucky beginner


Pre-chorus
 C               Dm
I get on my knees
           Fmaj7
Pray to God, the birds, and the bees
           C                 Dm            Fmaj7
Do it in a crisis, it's a crisis nightly now
                  C                   Dm
And from the front door comes a breeze
               Fmaj7
And out the window, through the trees
                  C
I see it and it's frightening
          Dm            Fmaj7
It's a candle in my room, forgot to blow it out


Chorus
            C               Dm
But I got my jeans on and my crown on
        Fmaj7                                   C
And the whole place totally cares if I go or not
                     Dm            Fmaj7
So wrong to think everyone loves me?
                                      C
And they need to be around me all the time
   Dm      Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
                                                     C
But I'll be honest, yeah, the nightgown kinda sounds nice
   Dm      Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
I take the trophy and I Irish goodbye


Interlude
C   Dm  Fmaj7
Oooooooh (Say it ain't so, I love to go home)
C   Dm  Fmaj7
Oooooooh (Say it ain't so, I love to go)


Chorus
              C                Dm
Cause I got my creams on and my gown on
      Fmaj7                                      C
And I don't think anyone cares if I'm home or not
                     Dm            Fmaj7
So wrong to think everyone loves me?
                                       C
It doesn't need to be about me all the time
   Dm      Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
                                                       C
But I'll be honest, yeah, the bowling alley kinda felt nice
   Dm      Fmaj7
(Oh, oh, oh)
I turn the light on and I stare at the prize
