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.
