[F] [C] [Eb]
[Bb] [F] [Eb] [Bb]
[A] [D]
[Gm] You're everybody's second [Am] home Always trying to get me [Bb] along
An easy [C] way to [Eb] lose it all Always having oil [Gm] spills
Over by the east side [C] rails [Eb] I
[Gm] don't want you back [A] now
[Gm] I never really did [Bb] anyhow I only really [C] needed [Eb] alcohol
Something that would treat me [Gm] okay Wouldn't say the things you [C] say
[Eb] [Ebm] Please turn [D] out the light [C] I get a sick confusion headache
Trying to figure [Dm] out [Gm] who's right Working on the silver [A] strand
[Gm] Waking up your prank [A] was [Bb] mad Little bastard, [C] little [Gm] boy blue
Someone's gonna get to you And fuck up everything you [C] [Eb] do
[G] [Gm] Someone's gonna pee [A] inside [Gm] Experience with everyone
[Bb] And the pain's so ending [C] with his [Gm] angry [Eb] kiss Acting [Gm] like he has no needs
Wanting you to watch him [Eb] bleed
[Bb]
[F] [Bb] You may have told [F] each other that [Eb] you're leaving [Bb] But who finds this [F] frozen soul
[C] Might continue to [Eb] decline [Bb] Say it [F] all, we're covered, [Eb] mind our own
We'll go [Bb] to the wild, but I [A] don't know I don't [D] think so
[Gm] Something that I'll tell you [A] now [C] Now that no one else is [Bb] around
A little story [C] that I heard [Eb] from you Not quite the way you [Gm] planned
But I know you [C] understand
[Eb] Someone
[G] [Gm] takes a photograph [Dm] A picture of [Bb] us in our glass
A perfect moment [C] in a [Eb] flash of light Turning back in [G] 301
[Gm] Watching all the colors [C] run
[Eb]
[Ebm] [D] Cover my eyes [C] I remember, I remember
Why I choose black [Bb] and [F] [Eb] white
[Bb] [F] Close the show, [C] I'll continue [Eb] to decline
[Bb]
Say it [F] all, we're covered, [Eb] mind our own
We'll [Bb] go to the wild, [Am] but I don't know I [D] don't think so
[Gm] I don't think so
[C] [Eb] [Gm]
