Fortnight (2024, US no 1)     (video)

 

    C                                       D

1.     I was supposed to be sent away

            Bm                                Em

    but they forgot to come and get me.

C                                  D

    I was a functioning alcoholic

                       G                             Em

    'til nobody noticed my new aesthetic.

C                        D                            Bm                       Em

    All of this to say, I hope you're okay, but you're the reason,

C                       D                                G                             Em

    and no one here's to blame, but what about your quiet treason ?

 

                 C                            D

And for a fortnight there we were forever,

            Bm                      Em

run into you sometimes, ask about the weather.

                                     C                          D

And now you're in my backyard turned into good neighbors,

                             G                       Em

your wife waters flowers, I want to kill her.

 

    C                                     D                           Bm               Em

2.    All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February,

C                                 D                            G                        Em

    I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary.

              C                    D                            Bm                Em

    And I love you, it's ruining my life, and I love you, it's ruining my life,

        C                       D                         G                    Em

    I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, I touched you.

 

                 C                            D

And for a fortnight there we were forever,

                      Bm                      Em

run into you, sometimes ask about the weather.

                                     C                          D

And now you're in my backyard turned into good neighbors,

                             G                       Em

your wife waters flowers, I want to kill her.

                 C                            D

And for a fortnight there we were together,

                     Bm                            Em

run into you sometimes, comment on my sweater.

                                C                       D

Now you're at the mailbox turned into good neighbors,

                             G                       Em

my husband is cheating, I want to kill him.

 

       C                   D                       Bm               Em

+  I love you, it's ruining my life ! I love you, it's ruining my life !

        C                      D                          G                    Em

    I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, I touched you.

        C                  D                      Bm                 Em

    I love you, it's ruining my life ! I love you, it's ruining my life !

        C                      D                          G                   Em

    I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, I touched you.

 

                         C                            D

+  Thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up,

                  Bm                       Em

    another fortnight lost in America.

                     C                      D

    Move to Florida, buy the car you want,

                G                            Em

    but it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me.

                        C                            D

    Thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up,

                   Bm                      Em

    another fortnight lost in America.

                      C                      D

    Move to Florida, buy the car you want,

                G                            Em                            G

    but it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch you.
