Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department

She said, "I should take you with me when I leave"
Bm7               D              G           D
We were searchin' New York for a fancy, new apartment
           G               D             A Asus4
She said, "Central Park is Sea World for trees"
 
 
[Chorus]
    G             D/F#            Asus4
You ask about the cows wearin' my sweater
     Bm7        Asus4    G            D/F#           Asus4
It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down

The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together

I like socks with sandals, she's morе into scented candles
    G                   D               Asus4 A
Oh, I'll nеver get that smell out of my bag
Bm7           D
It was poorly handled
    G               D
The day we both got canceled
        G                D                   A Asus4
Because I'm a racist and you're some kind of slag
 
 
[Chorus]
    G             D/F#            Asus4
You ask about the cows wearin' my sweater
     Bm7        A        G            D/F#           Asus4
It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down

Bm7            D                   G              D
"I'm better at writin'" was just a way to get you bitin'
        G                 D          Asus4
Oh, the truth is that our egos are absurd
Bm7               D
I thought we were fightin'
       G              D
But it seems I was gaslightin' you
  G                D              Asus4
I didn't know that it had its own word
 
 
[Chorus]
          G              D/F#           Asus4
You still ask about the cows wearin' my sweater
     Bm7        A        G            D/F#              Asus4
It's something about the weather that makes them lie down

Great write up, but it needs to be transposed down a whole step and then Capo 2 as this is how Matty plays it and is visible in live videos. The D/F# turns to C/E. The chord voicings all around sound closer to the record with the Capo 2 and down a whole step.

You can also play it with capo on 2nd fret. Bm7 becomes Am, D becomes C, G becomes F, A and Asus4 become G and D/F# becomes C/E. So the verse goes Am, C, F, C, F, C, G. And the chorus goes F, C/E, G, Am, G, F, Em, G.
