Verse 1:
C5 C5 C5 C5
And We're all dressed up, no place to run
C5 C5 C5 C5
No car, no girl, no pills, no fun
A5 A5 A5 A5
Nothing to do in this empty room
A5 A5 A5 A5
I gotta get my head together soon
C5 C5 C5 C5
Alone again, no plans, no friends
C5 C5 C5 C5
You come around at half past ten
A5 A5 A5 A5
And say "How are you holding up my friend?
A5 A5 A5 A5
Are you sitting around getting drunk again?"
Chorus 1:
D5 E5
And I hear the desperation of those lines
F5 G5
Wasted hours, all this wasted time
Yeah, I been just fine!
C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
Verse 2:
C5 C5 C5 C5
And we're out the door in an hour more
C5 C5 C5 C5
We stumble down from the second floor
A5 A5 A5 A5
And we're swaying and braying
A5 A5 A5 A5
We don't know what we're saying
C5 C5 C5 C5
And you grab my shirt, your way so curt
C5 C5 C5 C5
I swear to God that this doesn't hurt
A5 A5 A5 A5
When you stare like that, you put on that act
A5 A5 A5 A5
You say something and then you take it back
Chorus 2:
D5 E5
And I feel as though I've done something wrong
F5 G5
Oh, how I miss you when you are gone
Interlude:
C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
D5 E5 F5 G5
Verse 3:
C5 C5 C5 C5
And I wish I had the guts to scream
C5 C5 C5 C5
You know, things aren't always what they seem
A5 A5 A5 A5
When you walk away, I want you to stay
A5 A5 A5 A5
Don't leave me here to pace and pray
C5 C5 C5 C5
All these nights I burned, hours I turned
C5 C5 C5 C5
You'd think that by now I'd learned
A5 A5 A5 A5
That you're only what you pretend to be
A5 A5 A5 A5
I guess that was just lost on me
Chorus 3:
D5 E5
And I can't stand the way you look at me in that dress
F5 G5
Oh Papillon, I might be alright I guess
If I wasn't such a mess
Outro(same chords as verse):
C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 A5
I'm such a mess
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 C5
I'm such a mess
C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 C5 A5
I'm such a mess
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 C5
I'm such a mess
