VERSE ONE:
G Bm
Here I go again, put me on the first train heading eastbound.
C Cm
And if by June I'm still alive, I promise not to tell my dad I'm miserable
D
but thanks for all his sacrifice.
G
Cause I'm ashamed of the things that I did,
Bm
I said whatever it took just to get her in bed and
C
It's kinda fun when you're only a kid
Cm D
but you grow up to learn that the scars you cut are permanent
BRIDGE 1:
C D Em
But I haven't had one drink in three whole years.
G
There's no need for drinking when you're not here.
C D Em
Do you find it amusing I'm seeing clear?
G
in this haze of hateful atmosphere.
C D Em
So come on we're not fooling anybody tonight
G
We're the king and queen of social suicide.
C Cm -D
And things are better now knowing that we've never found anyone else.
CHORUS:
G D/G
So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone.
Bm
and if anyone can help, I think I'm losing it
C D
I grab and hold on tightly but i start to slip.
G
I've got a problem with my self control, (Hold on)
Em
I fall in love when I'm with any girl. (Honest)
C Cm
They got it wrong saying love is blind it's fine,
D
It's just disguised as sex tonight.
BRIDGE
C D
Em G C D Em G
And it's too hard to deny.
VERSE TWO:
C
Cause she's got that dress on,
D Em
you know the one that shows off the things that she can do to me.
G C D
And I'm taking lessons how not to beg for sex
Em G
it's just a side effect we're feeling from the ectasy.
C D
So come on we're not getting any younger tonight.
Em G
Your the gracious host and I'm the parasite.
C D
It's the simple act of growing old
Em
mixed in with chemicals
D C
and we're the end results, slow down...
D
Cause I can tell when you're aroused, (like now...)
CHORUS
BRIDGE 2:
C D Em
C D
And as long as I'm alive
Em
I'll try to mend this broken future (we call life)
C D Em
I'm feeling better all the time
Em
(Pretend you care for me tonight)
C D Em
It's safe to say that I'll be fine, this time
BUILD UP
G D/G
So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone.
Bm
And if anyone can help, I'm losing it
C D
So this one goes out,
G
to all you lovestruck fools
D/G Bm C D
I've got news for you, I know a thing or two on giving up.
G D/G Bm
To all you heartless souls i think it's best you know i play the leading
C D
role on giving up
G
To all you lovestruck fools,
D/G Bm C D
we've got news for you,We know a thing or two on giving up.
G D/G Bm
To all you heartless souls we think it's best you know we play the leading
C D
role on giving up.
I'm only 80% sure this is correct, I'm currently trying to figure out the
tab for this song but sadly my music player crashed so I'm currently having
a hard time doing tabs (as I can't listen to the song...)
