Chords: BADG (All power chords)
I knew a girl
who moved away
to a brand new town
to a brand new place
she said its fine
its going good
I wanna do the things that I want
I wanna do the things that I should
but my bestfriends
have not called me yet
and I am starting to think
that they might forget
and I am scared
I wont succeed
at all the little things
that I try to be
and my stupid next door neighbour
keeps on yelling at his wife
and I wanna move out
I wanna feel alive
so I will
so I will
she said I wanna just move on
i wanna get on with my life
because these pointless conversations
are keeping me awake at night
and I will go
i will go
to a different place
where nobody knows
that I am scared
of irrational things
like that I might die
before I have kids
and I will buy
myself a door
and I will open it up
and I will see whats in store
but I know
that on the other side
will be all my bestfriends
and they are not alive
and they will say
that they were sick of my shit
of how I thought Id be big
and that Id write a hit
and they will leave
a bad taste in my mouth
of the love we once shared
as I lay down
and i will dream
of starting a band
so when I sing my songs
that way that you'd understand
that I am fake
that my life is a lie
that i write all these songs to try to impress you guys

Wild Eyes

Capo 7 Dm G C Am
I saw you last night in my sleep
and I knew that it was a dream
because it'd been four months since I'd scene your face
in a far off town, in a far off place
and the weather came down like a bitch that night
so we sat on the floor and we turned out the light
and those hours turned into weeks that day
and I really wished that I could stay
and when I looked into your wild wild eyes
I think I saw through your disguise
and I've woke up covered in sweat
After a night I know I cannot forget
cause when I smiled at you, and I saw your eyes
I knew that this was the last time
and when I smiled at you, and I said goodbye
I knew what you thought in your mind
because you finnaly jumped after just three weeks
off the roof of your old condo
and your mother she cried, for hours that day
and your father said fucked if I know
and it wasn't that she wasn't alive
its just not enough to merely survive
cause her life had gone nowhere fast
and she could not forget her past
so she did something that no-one should
and I only wish that I could
see her just one last time
and maybe I could change her mind
But when your life is not what it seems
nothing like whats in your dreams
But when your life is not what it seems
Your better off staying asleep

Time To Wake Up

Capo 7 G Em
Another night of booze
cause I've got nothing else to do
Dreaming of you
and all the things you do
watching you groove
as you dance and move
reminds me of june
when the cops came for you
you laughed and sang
as I sent them away
and you said that its fine
that we'd be alright
I wish you right
Its time to wake up soon
cause its almost noon
and I've got a lot to do
to try and forget about you
please come back soon
I really needs you around
I don't wanna die in this shit hole town
with only my friends my family
oh wait I forgot that its just me
all my friends got married or ended their lives
thats fine but I need a life
and I wont find it in a bottle by the river
drinking down my sorrows but fuck it wont get better
and this stranger on the sidewalk came on up to me
and he said "son I'll happiness, but shit it aint for free"
maybe I'll do drugs maybe I'll smoke crack
maybe get my life back on track
but I don't see it happening soon
after all I'm the only one in the room
getting drunk and calling your telephone
Oh my god pick up the goddamn phone
Im Alone
I'm losing my goddamn mind
I just hope your alive

We should hang out in the summer
Ill buy a ticket and Ill visit you
Well swap old stories about the time we spent together
And all the crazy shit we'd do
Its friday night so come on over
Its 2012 and I'm still cool
Well stay up late and drink some brio
Lets talk mad shit about the kids from school
Im home alone so come on over
Ive bought some booze from a guy I know
I've lit a fire and youre all invited
We'll drink some more when they head on home
I'm making music so come on over
I'll write a song just for you
About the time when we were younger
Clap your hands and tap these spoons
We should hang out in the summer
Ill buy a ticket and Ill visit you
Well swap old stories about the time we spent together
And all the crazy shit we'd do
We'll all hang out in the summer
We'll buy our tickets and we'll visit you
We'll make new stories with the time we spend together
Theres still more crazy shit we'll do X2

G (320033) Cadd9 D
Well I knew a man,
for a few weeks last year
and he never told me his name
he just told me it began with a letter
between L and R
and I had to guess
what the fuck he meant
but I'll never forget the world he inroduced me to
and guess what
I'm a better man because of it
and guess what
I really wish I never knew my past
And I wish my dad had left my mom
before I was born
because this life
is not worth
The bullshit,
and the lies,
and the friends
that I lost

One Way Mirrors

|
G D Em C
one way mirrors
looking at your heart
you said you loved me one time
but then you packed your car
so fuck his bullshit
Ill get out
Ill find someone
somewhere else
so say goodbye
I hope you rot
Dont say that you'll miss me
cause I will not
This fling is over
I knew it all along
I thought that you loved me
well I was fucking wrong
Ill run away

Letters
04:11
|

|
capo 1 Em C G D
I let the letters you wrote me
pile up in my room
on top of my dresser
with my school applications
deciding Id rather just
go with the flow of life
and sacrifice my chances
for not knowing failure
Ive got no dissilusions
I know that Im fucked up
but that hasn't stopped me
from trying to be
the guy that you want me to
try and become for you
well I never thought
that you would turn out like this
well I was wrong
And Im sorry for trying to
salvage whats left
but Im just not over this
you lived on my block
and then you lived in my heart
but now its sitting vacant
and I wish that I could just
burn down the building
and keep us both outside
as I run down our street
and theres no sign of your car
I know that you left me
and you never really cared
and I guess I was lying
when I said that I needed you
cause now
your gone
and my heart beats on
to the tune of this bullshit
just thinking that maybe
things could be saved
I guess not
But Im still gonna miss you
and I know youll miss me
all of our lives are just
false pretenses
as we try to get closer
to what really matters
but love is too cunning
and friends are too willing
to get trapped in a cycle
of pretending they care
and then just cutting you out
while I fall asleep I hope you do the same
maybe in our dreams you'll see
that we're both to blame

It's Whatever

Capo 4 G Em C D
This year is getting longer
each day becomes the next
The lines blur into nothing
since you left I've been a wreck
I thought I'd gotten over
This spell you've cast on me
if my heart was the ocean
then your poison has filled the sea
If you see me walking
dont call out my name
please god, if you're watching
let me live without my shame
I've been sober all morning
time to go numb the pain
lets drink until tomorrow
and let the rain wash away today

Capo 4 C E7 Am F G
First day of july I waved my family goodbye
As I moved into your spare bedroom
Things were fine at the start Id earned a place in your heart and your parents seemed to like me
But as time went on, I knew I was wrong, and I was feeling ficking crazy
Just a week had passed and I was out on my ass you said Im sorry but I cant help you
I was alone in the dark, too scared to sleep in the park but I was feeling oddly happy
Cause if things were this bad, I guess I ought to be glad if it means Ill have a brighter future
You took me into your home, no longer felt on my own you said "I made a bed you can sleep on"
It was a place on the floor, made of a sheet and no more you said "this should do for the weekend"
I was trying my best, to try to get some rest but you were yelling at your parents
Pass out on your bedroom floor before you stomp out the house and you slam the door
All out of second chances, I tried to fix this while you abandoned it
I know I know I know this shit is going south
I gotta move on I gotta fogure this out
I know I know, etx.

capo 4: D C G
Smile
its almost over now
tommorow youll be gone
and its the last time for a long time
that I will see your face
each morning waking up
brighter than the sun outside our window
I know we had some problems
but we fixed them all
now as the summers ending
they'll return in the fall
and I know you have to
but wont you please just stay
Ill pay for your schooling
just dont leave today
Smile
its almost over now
tommorow youll be gone
and its the last time for a long time
that I will see your face
each morning waking up
brighter than the sun outside our window
this might be the first time
I feel truly awake
It wont be the same without you
alone on spring break
now that highschools over
its time to move on
but what if I dont want to
how is that so wrong
Smile
its almost over now
tommorow youll be gone
and its the last time for a long time
that I will see your face
each morning waking up
brighter than the sun outside our window
Smile
its almost over now
tommorow youll be gone
and its the last time for a long time
that I will see your face
