I’m gonna get you a big balloon

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 parents split up so they gave her to me

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

But she always liked my momma better

Am G C
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
D F
But not like that, really not like that, yeah
Am G C
My girlfriend’s at Coco’s house

She’s basically the nicest person

Really wish I could be like that

–
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
