Board Games

Chords

I've tried meditation, I've tried nature sounds
Reframing affirmations (nothing seems to calm me down)
I can say what we're all thinking, they are clearly too polite
Tried to let you know discreetly, you ignored the warning signs
I hope you're Sorry when I drop the final Clue
This might just Risk my Life but I have got to tell the truth

Stop talking during board games!
Don't ask whose turn it is, it's yours, babe!
You would know that if you hadn't asked how Hannah's Graduation went
There were prolly speeches half as long as this distraction is

Stop talking during board games!
Do you know how long this took to coordinate?
3 couples in their thirties on a table-flipping Thursday
Now all of them are yawning by the middle of the 1st game

I've popped out all the pieces
Each card is double-sleeved and
To help me fall asleep I read the rulebook to completion
Sometimes this job is brutal
But preparation's crucial
I took all day to learn the lore and that was just for Uno

I wanna game but you hit me with reverse
Now everytime you talk I wanna table-flippin' curse!

Stop talking during board games!
Don't ask whose turn it is, its yours, babe!
You would know that if you hadn't brought up Molly's border-collie
Now they're all looking at puppy pics instead of killing zombies

Stop talking during board games!
Now I think that I understand divorce rates
I was totally on board for "in sickness and in health"
But nobody mentioned nothing this suspicious in our vows

And now you're brewing tea, and now you're grabbing snacks
And now you're making sure that Steve's alright when no one asked
You're asking Matt and Bekah what the heck they do for work
You're asking thoughtful follow-ups and somehow I'm the jerk??
But the bit that really bites me the most
Whether its victory points, or last one left or first past the post
No matter how we tally it up to see how it ends
You. Al. Ways. Win

Stop talking during board games
Cause your charm is too disarming to ignore, babe
Thought I was married to a monster, turns out you're a master
I can't describe this feeling but I think that it's attraction? What

All your talking during board games
And pretending you were always really bored made
Me forget my biggest threat was my own chatty spouse
But babe that's really clever I'm so table-flippin' proud
