Get Off The Phone

Intro: ( Emaj7  B ) x4
 
Emaj7
Here we have a man
 
Who’s chosen to Instagram
       B
His apple pie, a la mode
               Emaj7
While he fumbles through the filters
                                                  B
His ice cream has gotten “a la hot”
And the pie “a la cold”
 
    Emaj7
As you can see
 
This street performer’s drawn a crowd
B
To watch him do his thing
                                 Emaj7
But instead of just enjoying the show
 
It seems that everyone’s decided
      B
To make a documentary
 
Emaj7
Notice this unreasonably attractive couple
                    B
Enjoying a reasonably priced Italian dinner together
Emaj7
Social networking instead of working
       B
On getting to know each other better
 
          E
How does that filtered picture taste
           B
Since your dessert has gone to waste?
           E
When do you think you ever will
              B
Wanna watch this portrait juggling film?
         E
You know you want to touch each other
B                            D
Doesn’t that feel good?
 
He’s my brother
 
                     B
Get off the phone now
                 F#
It’s gonna be okay
A                             E
There’s no need to be afraid
B
It doesn’t love you
      F#
It’s gonna die one day
        A
The government is probably
            E
Spying on you with it anyway










Emaj7
Here we have a stereotypical teen
B
Forced to endure “Family Game Night”
       Emaj7
He’s stereotypically texting
 
And missing his mom
B
Demonstrate a carousel ride
 
Emaj7
Little Ethan here
                                                            B
Is celebrating being the center of the universe
For one year
                                         Emaj7
But “The World’s Greatest Dad”
 
Is more worried about ‘Facebooking’ it
          B
Than actually being here
 
Emaj7
Let’s listen in and see if we can get some context
 B
“Please hurry! We’re at 382 Pine”
    Emaj7
He has the nerve to make a phone call
                B
At such a pivotal moment in his friend’s life
 
         E
How could you be so disengaged?
            B
While precious memories are being made?
E
Do you really think your friends need
  B
Another baby picture in their feed?
          E
Don’t be such a self- centered guy
         B              D
Now isn’t that better?
 
“I think he just died”
 
                    B
Get off the phone now
                F#
It’s gonna be okay
A                             E
There’s no need to be afraid
                                        B
(Get off the phone now!) It doesn’t love you
      F#
It’s gonna die one day
       A                                  E
It’s crawling with e-coli bacteria anyway
                     B                                 F#
(Get off the phone now!) It’s gonna be okay
A                             E
There’s no need to be afraid
B
It doesn’t love you
      F#
It’s gonna die one day
        A
The government is probably
            E                                    ( Emaj7  Bmaj7 ) x2
Spying on you with it anyway
