Finally got the lyrics figured out! (the chords are C, D, D7, G, Em, and A7 with an optional capo on 2)

There’s better things to miss than everything that you can piss on
In your head once you’ve let all the past unfurl
brighter things to do than force the old into the new
And there’s much better things to do than miss the world
Better forms of bliss than trying hard to blow a kiss
At everything that used to make you wanna hurl
Nostalgic thoughts are tricking me and I am double thinking
but there’s smarter things to do than miss the world

This sell is hard to do that keeping running down the road without a clue’s a better thing to do than up and opting out of living too
But now I have gone fishing and I’m sitting like a thinking statuette inside a garden doing nothing
But singing straight to you
Sadly you are a computer I’m a fool who’s still addicted so to you

As we both keep getting older I’ll keep getting more hunched over
And there’s smarter things to do than be with you

Better things to do than try to justify it too and sort it into little boxes I have made
Tryna figure out a hack to get all my memories back
While the present that they come from goes to waste

This sell is hard to do that keeping running down the road without a clue’s better thing to do than up and opting out of living too
For now I have gone fishing and I’m sitting like a thinking statuette inside a garden doing nothing
But being gone cause I’ve gone fishing
Going and gone fishing
I’ve adorned the door with this here tourist plack

Often times I wish that I was swimming too
But the sign and I both know that I’ll be back

So although I cannot join you at this moment I am sure when it’s my time I’ll know exactly what to do

Here I’ll get to swim forever though and get to walk for less so I’ll keep fishing at the edge of old and new

Everything I love goes in and everything I hate goes in and disappears out of existence in a swirl

But not the place that I now know before the sign and I must go along with better things to do than miss the world
Better things to do than miss the world
Better things to do than miss the world
