E B A
Blake says no one ever really loved him
E B A
They just faked it to get money from the government
E B A
And Blake thinks angels grow when you plant angel dust
E B A
He shakes his head and blinks his pretty eyes, but trust me
C#m A
He's no valentine
C#m A
Though he said he would be mine
C#m B A
His heart is in Alaska all the time
E B A
Blake stays underwater for the most part
E B A
He collects loose change for all tomorrow's parties
E B A
And when Blake dates girls with tattoos of the pyramids
E B A
He breaks their hearts by saying it's not permanent
C#m A
But in his velvet mind
C#m A
He believes with all his might
C#m B A
We'll all go to Alaska when we die
E B A
Blake makes friends but only for a minute
E B A
He prefers the things he orders from the internet
E B A
And Blake's been having trouble with his head again
E B A
He takes his pills but never takes his medicine
C#m A
He tells me that he's fine
C#m A
And the sad thing is he's right
C#m B A
And when it's two o'clock it feels like nine.
E B A
Blake says he is sorry he got through to me
E B A E
If it's okay he'll call right back and talk to the machine
B A
Blake says it looks like acid rain today
E B A
He takes the fish inside, he's very kind that way
C#m A
But just like Caroline
C#m A
He doesn't seem to mind
C#m B A
The globe is getting warmer all the time
C#m A
It's still cold in Alaska
C#m A
It's still cold in Alaska
C#m A
It's still cold in Alaska
