D A One more set, baby, you'll survive G D Just play guitar, don't look them in the eye D A They're all here to see you tonight G D Such expectations, impress the writers D A All boy band, all boy attitude G D Break your bass, we'll get them in the mood D A If you want I will sing for you G D/A Anything girl, anything girl D G A (4x) D A When every mouth that sings complains G D And honesty can be replaced D A There are sadder things to say G D I guess it's true, I looked for it D A A tragedy that's gonna fit G D The chorus that I need A More than anything D A Is it happiness is so impossible G That you can't touch it D Even when it's close to you? D A Or is it emptiness is still so probable G D That you're too scared to even reach for it? D A Is it happiness is so impossible G That you can't touch it D Even when it's close to you? D A Or is it emptiness is still so probable G D That you're scared to even reach for it? D You can't pretend G Is that what this is about? G A D The feeling's gone but the album just came out D G And even though there is no meaning now A I can't stop singing, can't stop singing D A Well, here's the book I stole it from D G All repeated and tired-tounged D A G There's still nothing to say D A And I can say with confidence D G There are a hundred bands that sound like us D A G But that's not important A And it never was A D It's the feeling that creeps in when it is late A D And you pull the van to the side of the interstate A you lay on the roof, the stars hang above G And you wonder what they'd look like if you were in love D A G Well tonight I am ecstatic with the sound of the amplifiers D A G Filling up the emptiness with distortion D A G I can see the kid has been crying, he puts his mouth on a pacifier D A G A microphone, a memory, an emotion D A G Are those people at the bar, they look more like statues D A G Expressionless, they listen to the first band D A G I'm looking for a payphone, a familiar voice D G I need someone who understands D G I need someone who understands D G I need someone who understands D A D That this isn't how I wanted it to be.
