5 Years Chords by Bo Burnham

[Spoken intro]

N.C.
Hey baby, uh, it's me
N.C.
Um, our anniversary's comin' up, 

it's a pretty big one
N.C.                            Dm  Em
And, um, I wrote a song for you
                        Am   Am/C      Am         
So I'm just leaving you this voicemail because, um,
  Dm       Em        Am  Am/C   Am  
I want the song to begin with this voicemail
                              Dm  
Like, I want the voicemail to play 
         Em
at the beginning of it
Am     Am/C           Am                   
So, if you could just download this voicemail 
         Dm                         Em
when you get it and then text it to me
Am  Am/C      Am           
Um, you might need to, like, 
                     Dm  Em
download another app to   download the⁠—
Am      Am/C            Am                
I don't know if you can rip your voicemail 
               Dm               Em 
right off your phone, you might need to, like—
     Am     Am/C      Am
Just Google it, don't call me and ask me
Dm                Em
 'Cause I know, I know what you're gonna do
                     Am    Am/C    
You're gonna, you're gonna get this 
    Am
and you're gonna think you just can't do it
                 Dm             
And you're gonna call me, but then 
Em
I'm just gonna Google it
    Am       Am/C                 Am
So, just you Google it, you're an adult, 

you can figure it out
Dm           Em             
Um, so just, figure it out 
                    Am    Am/C  Am  
and text me the voicemail
                                 Dm    
Um, immediately, if you wouldn't mind, 
                     Em
like, right when you get this
           Am    Am/C      Am
Thank you, um, I love you, bye
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm         Em            Am   Am/C   Am
 You're my best friend, I love you
Dm        Em      Am   Am/C   Am
 You know me and I know you
Dm      Em                 Am   Am/C   Am
 We got problems that we've been through
Dm      Em             Am  Am/C     Am
 We got sh*t that we'll get through, uh
              Dm      Em
You think I'm rude to you
            Am     Am/C   Am
You think I am the worst
                       Dm      Em
Because I ask when you suck my dick
                   Am  Am/C  Am
To take out your Invisalign  first
 
 
[Chorus]
        Dm          Em
Come on, five years, five years
      Am    Am/C  Am
Still you, still  me, still here
Dm          Em
 Five years, five years, baby
Am    Am/C  Am
 Five years, five years
 
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.                            Am  Am/C
We order Chinese, I'm eating my dumplings
    Am                         Dm
You reach over and you take my dumpling
               Em                    Am  Am/C
You don't even say, "Do you mind?" or nothing
          Am                     
Why would you assume that you're 
              Dm
entitled to a dumpling?
     Em          Am       Am/C        
So I look at you, you look back at me, 
               Dm
like, "What the f*ck did I do?"
Dm                   Em
If you really wanted some dim sum then
Am          Am/C      Am          
 You really should've gotten some 
        Dm         Em
when we put in the order
                         Am  Am/C  Am
You say, "You're a psycho   and I- I 

don't wanna fight
   Dm          Em         
So, let's just drop this, 
              Am      Am/C
it's not a big deal"
Am
Okay, but for the record
Dm       Em          Am  Am/C  Am    
 You owe me a dumpling, I mean  it, 
          Dm    Em
I won't forget
    Am
You owe me a dumpling or 

a dumpling equivalent
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm          Em
 Five years, five years
      Am    Am/C  Am
Still you, still  me, still here
Dm          Em
 Five years, five years, baby
Am    Am/C  Am
 Five years, five years
 
 
[Verse 3]

Dm  Em
 We found a spider in the house
Am   Am/C        Am
 You freaked and you jumped up 

onto the couch
Dm       Em
 Since I was close and able
Am  Am/C      Am
  I jumped up on the coffee table
Dm             Em
You said, "You should kill that"
Am  Am/C       Am
I   said, "Um, no, f*ck that"
Dm                  Em  Am  Am/C
You said, "Come on, be a man"
N.C.
What?
         Dm         Em      
You're a total anti-sexist, 
 Am   Am/C  Am     
a patriarchy fighter
         Dm                  Em
But your whole world view collapses
    Am     Am/C      Am
The moment there's a spider, cool
Dm     Em
 I get it, this is the real you
Am      Am/C  Am
 It's a pleasure, nice to meet you
Dm             Em
Sh*t like this brings the movement down
Am           Am/C       Am
Everyone's a feminist until 

there is a spider around
 
 
[Chorus]

Dm          Em
 Five years, five years
      Am    Am/C  Am
Still you, still  me, still here
Dm          Em
 Five years, five years, baby
Am    Am/C  Am
 Five years, five years
 
 
[Outro]
Dm             Em             
How come every time I need to 
                 Am  Am/C  
take a poo in the bathroom
Am                            
You out of the bl ue need to 
        Dm
use the bathroom?
     Em
Just use the guest room bathroom
Am  Am/C  Am
 That's  why we got two bathrooms
Dm    Em
 Just use the guest room bathroom
Am  Am/C  Am                Dm   Em
 That's  why we got two bathrooms
        Am  Am/C  Am
And you know
