I think this sounds better if you transpose the chords down 7 half-steps and play with a 
capo on 7, but these are the chords to play without a capo.


Intro and verse: G5   D5   A5 A5 C5 
G5 G5


G5                           D5     A5 A5 C5 G5
  You can take what you can get

G5                    D5        A5 A5 C5 G5
  I forgive but I forget


G5    D5    A5 A5 C5 G5


G5                      D5       A5 A5 C5 G5
  You can never sleep enough

G5                         D5    A5 A5 C5 G5
  And your alarm is going off


    G5
You wake up and you can't pretend

  D5
A dream was just a dream again

A5          A5             C5  G5
  Won't you dry your eyes?

       G5
But it doesn't matter anymore

    D5
You did just what you did before

A5          A5      C5
  Until you realize    the words

   G5       G5
Go la la la la la


(Repeat the intro a few times)


You can dip your brain in joy
When you find the real McCoy
When some pretty boys with skinny ties
With black flowers and Valentines
Try to take you home
Do you recognize that I
Have stopped before you get too high
On your own supplies
Singing la la la la


    C5            D5
You want it, you got it

    E5            F5
You can't take it home

G5         F5           C5
You got a long way to go

G5         D5       E5           F5
I wait forever to say that you will

G5          F5        E5       C5  D5
You have a heart to show, ohh


G5 D5 A5 A5 C5 G5 G5


Well you don't have to stay inside
Don't have to run, don't have to hide
Come dry your eyes
You know you can always change your mind
Maybe I will too in time
Once we understand
No one understands at all
Singing la la la la
Singing la la la la
