[C]You thought you had it made like the songs would write themselves
[Bm]But your words ran out of ink and your fingers lost the chords
[C]You lay around so bored and you hit the bar at two
[Bm]And you waste your time on girls they know they're getting used
[C]They love the pain that you create the drunken fights you fabricate
[Bm]'Cause they've been hurt too worse than you
[C]You told yourself it's not your fault you told them not to get involved
[Bm]Some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised
But th[G]ey move on while you're stuck hating yourself deprecation[C][C/B]
Your se[Am]lf centered songs[G]
The space[C] you've created[C/B]
Between your words and[Am] your actions[G]
These loveles[E]s liaisons have left you alone
All you've gain[Am] is [G]a los[C]e

[C]You really wish it wasn't like it was but like before that time
[C]You wished it was a little more than how you felt before that time
[Bm]You made a wish to think the way you felt when you were young
[Bm]When you realized you'd never ever, ever know a love
[C]You wished and prayed and you tried to stay in love or at least in your lover's good graces
[Bm]Just keep it going, just keep it going
'Cause when t[G]hey leave the drinks get stronger
And much,[C] much more frequent[G]
For the sloppy[Am] drunk boys[G]
Who hide [C]in their basements[G]
Where the songs w[Am]rite themselves[G]
Yeah it used[E] to be easy before we got lazy
and dran[Am]k with[G] the girls[C]
No, n[G]o I know[Am] it's not your fault[G]
[C]No, no no, no, n[G]o you said not [Am]to get involved[G]
Whate[C]ver makes you happy[G]
Whateve[E]r you need to believe[Am]
in[G] all these se[C]lf afflicted tradg[G]edies
You scribb[E]le them down on that miserable sound
