Hyphenated Lies is just shorthand. “The credit card companies are behind everything.”

Open E, Capo 4
E-Emaj7-B
I heard the bellow of an old brown car lit up on green wheels
And the sign of the times in neon standing in a field
I saw a tortoise shell filled with ants and breath
And a milkshake on the stove, then I left
B-A
And then I learned to be cool
B-E
And then I learned to be cool
With a ball point pen and some oolong tea in a can
I bought a bag of marbles and spoke like a foreign man
I didn’t pay the rent, I didn’t pay the rent
and around the garden gates we pitched a yellow tent
And then I learned to be cool
And then I learned to be cool
A-E
I got to tell so many lies
A-E
I got to tell so many lies
B
It made me proud
“Hello again,” asked the jester to his head
“Can you tell me which one’s not alive and which one’s not quite dead?”
There’s no I in alphabet and no hyphenated team
Just a deck of cards, a old wet man, and a outhouse queen
And then I learned to be cool
And then I learned to be cool
