[B]
[C#m]
[A] If you had a [E] bad time
At one of my
[G#m] [B] Parties well, [C#m] I wouldn't expect to [B] be seeing you soon, and [A] that's fine
[Am] You have to [E] know what and why?
[D#m] Those things make you happy
[C#m] You have to know that [B] a second guess ain't worth [A] a try
Just some words of [E] advice
Maybe you've heard them before but [B] here goes
Just be true to [E] yourself and it'll end you [A] and I'll let me know
[B] Loud and clear is your love, thick and bright are [A] the clues you might [B] someday know
With one million [E] things holding you down, [A] why you're one of those things [B] I don't know
No, [E] [B] but you got to go
[C#m] [B]
[A] If you're up to [E] your ears
[D#m] In blood sweat and wasted years
[C#m] I'm hoping you're going [B] to open your throat and [A] just scream
You have to know [E] when why?
[D#m] Which ones [B] miss you when you die
[C#m] You have to know that [B] a second gets seen [A] with a salt in your eyes.
Some words of [E] advice, maybe [A] you've heard them before, but [B] here goes.
Just be true to [E] yourself, if it lands [A] you in hell, well at least [B] now you know.
Loud and clear is [E] your heart, thick and bright [A] are the places you might [B] someday go.
Where one million [E] things hold you down [A] are one of the things [B] I don't know.
Know that me, [C#m] like your sins on my shoulders, [A] your flesh in my neck, [E] we get crazy with each
night, [B] you're under my bed [C#m] and it's there [A]
[E] all the time, all the time.
Some words of advice, maybe [A] you've heard them before, but here goes.
Just be true [E] to yourself, if it lands [A] you in hell, well at [E] least now you [B] know.
[A] Loud and clear [E] is your heart, thick and bright [A] are the places you might someday go.
Where one [E] million things hold you down [A] are one of the things I don't know.
No big [B] deal, here [E] I go.
