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
[E] Who's losing their m[D]inds
K[C]eeping it together
Is [B] everyone's f[A]avorite p[E]astime, well
CHORUS:
E[A]verybody's had some r[D]eally, really bad
Some th[A]is has got to be the e[D]nd

M[F]uster up some sympat[E]hy yeah
Well t[D]hat's too much to ask of me[A][A]
VERSE: (play the INTRO pattern 2x's until BREAK)
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
