C5 B5
C5
You thought you had it made like the songs would write themselves
B5
But your words ran out of ink and your fingers lost the chords
C5
You lay around so bored and you hit the bar at two
B5
And you waste your time on girls they know they're getting used

C5
They love the pain that you create the drunken fights you fabricate
B5
'Cause they've been hurt too worse than you
C5
You told yourself it's not your fault you told them not to get involved
B5
Some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised

      G5                                                           C5              C5
But they move on while you're stuck hating yourself deprecation
       A5                  G5
Your self centered songs
         C5                 C5
The space you've created
                      A5                     G5
Between your words and your actions
             E5
These loveless liaisons have left you alone
               A5  G5    C5
All you've gain is a lose

C5 B5

C5
You really wish it wasn't like it was but like before that time
C5
You wished it was a little more than how you felt before that time
B5
You made a wish to think the way you felt when you were young
B5
When you realized you'd never ever, ever know a love
C5
You wished and prayed and you tried to stay in love or at least in your lover's good graces
B5
Just keep it going, just keep it going

             G5
'Cause when they leave the drinks get stronger
         C5                           G5
And much, much more frequent
              A5              G5
For the sloppy drunk boys
         C5                   G5
Who hide in their basements
                 A5                 G5
Where the songs write themselves
            E5
Yeah it used to be easy before we got lazy
        A5    G5         C5
and drank with the girls
     G5       A5                      G5
No, no I know it's not your fault
C5               G5              A5                     G5
No, no no, no, no you said not to get involved
     C5                          G5
Whatever makes you happy
       E5                           A5
Whatever you need to believe
  G5            C5                 G5
in all these self afflicted tradgedies
          E5
You scribble them down on that miserable sound
          A5     G5     C5
I guess this is the goodlife
G5 A5 G5
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby let it go
C5 G5 A5 G5
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby let it go

E5
Self deprecation has made it's translation
         A5    G5     C5
