I'm Fine, Thanks

Verse 1

Ran into your mother at the grocery storeShe asked me how I'm doing, I said "never better, sure"I had a frozen pizza and a single can of soupAnd a birthday card I bought in March and never sent to you

Pre-Chorus

And she looked at me the way you look at a dog in the rainAnd I smiled like a dog in the rain

Chorus

I'm fine, thanks, how are you?I've been eating cereal for dinner, but it's fine, it's trueI'm fine, thanks, how are you?I sleep on your side of the bed now, I've got roomI'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fineI'm fine, thanks, how are you?

Verse 2

I started going running, I made it to the end of the streetI bought a house plant, named it after you, it didn't last the weekI'm learning how to cook, I burned the kitchen twiceBut the firemen were friendly, so all in all it's nice

Pre-Chorus

And my friends look at me the way you look at a dog in the rainAnd I smile like a dog in the rain

Chorus

I'm fine, thanks, how are you?I've been eating cereal for dinner, but it's fine, it's trueI'm fine, thanks, how are you?I sleep on your side of the bed now, I've got roomI'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fineI'm fine, thanks, how are you?

Everything drops out except a lonely guitar, falsetto

Actually, since you askedI'm notActually, since you askedI miss you a lot

Final Chorus

Full band, crunchy and loud

I'm fine, thanks, how are you?I've been eating cereal for dinner, but it's fine, it's trueI'm fine, thanks, how are you?I sleep on your side of the bed now, I've got roomI'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fineI'm fine, thanks, how are you?
