D A
One more set, baby, you'll survive
G D
Just play guitar, don't look them in the eye
D A
They're all here to see you tonight
G D
Such expectations, impress the writers
D A
All boy band, all boy attitude
G D
Break your bass, we'll get them in the mood
D A
If you want I will sing for you
G D/A
Anything girl, anything girl
D G A (4x)
D A
When every mouth that sings complains
G D
And honesty can be replaced
D A
There are sadder things to say
G D
I guess it's true, I looked for it
D A
A tragedy that's gonna fit
G D
The chorus that I need
A
More than anything
D A
Is it happiness is so impossible
G
That you can't touch it
D
Even when it's close to you?
D A
Or is it emptiness is still so probable
G D
That you're too scared to even reach for it?
D A
Is it happiness is so impossible
G
That you can't touch it
D
Even when it's close to you?
D A
Or is it emptiness is still so probable
G D
That you're scared to even reach for it?
D
You can't pretend
G
Is that what this is about?
G A D
The feeling's gone but the album just came out
D G
And even though there is no meaning now
A
I can't stop singing, can't stop singing
D A
Well, here's the book I stole it from
D G
All repeated and tired-tounged
D A G
There's still nothing to say
D A
And I can say with confidence
D G
There are a hundred bands that sound like us
D A G
But that's not important
A
And it never was
A D
It's the feeling that creeps in when it is late
A D
And you pull the van to the side of the interstate
A
you lay on the roof, the stars hang above
G
And you wonder what they'd look like if you were in love
D A G
Well tonight I am ecstatic with the sound of the amplifiers
D A G
Filling up the emptiness with distortion
D A G
I can see the kid has been crying, he puts his mouth on a pacifier
D A G
A microphone, a memory, an emotion
D A G
Are those people at the bar, they look more like statues
D A G
Expressionless, they listen to the first band
D A G
I'm looking for a payphone, a familiar voice
D G
I need someone who understands
D G
I need someone who understands
D G
I need someone who understands
D A D
That this isn't how I wanted it to be.
