INTRO: A A D C A - 2x's

Note: When playing the A barre chord in the beginning
of the INTRO alternate (A-see below) by lifting
your finger on and off the low E string. Then
when going from the D barre chord hit the C barre
chord once and then back to the A.

VERSE:
There's a liar in your bed
And there's a shotgun to your head
You can't breathe but you can smoke
N.C
You can't cry
But you can joke about it

VERSE:
You can drink yourself to chills
You can hide your little pills
As your life slowly explodes
You can believe nobody knows about it

BREAK:
Do you th[C]ink that you're the only one

You try so hard to be discreet
With all your secrets in the sheets
As you solemnly refuse
The very spark that lights your fuse

BREAK:

Who can be u[D]nkind
T[C]earing at each other's flesh
