Intro: C, C7, C, C7
C7 C F7 C
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
C F7 C7 G6
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
C F7 C F7
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
C F7 C7 G6
took a shot and didn't even come close
C F7 C7
At trust and love and hope
C F7 C C7
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
Riff C7
and never had it at all
C F7
And the record won't stop skipping
C F7
And the lies just won't stop slipping
C F7 C7 G6
And besides my reputation's on the line
C F7
We can fake it for the airwaves
C F7
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
C F7 C7 G6 Riff C7
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
C F7 C F7
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
C F7 C7 G6
Blame everyone but me for this mess
C F7 C F7
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
C F7 C7 G6
We never seemed so far
C F7 C C7
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
Riff C7
But we never had it at all
C F7
And the record won't stop skipping
C F7
And the lies just won't stop slipping
C F7 C7 G6
And besides my reputation's on the line
C F7
We can fake it for the airwaves
C F7
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
C F7 C7 G6 C F7
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
C7 G6 C F7
everyone else around me
C7 G6 C F7
everyone else around me
C7 G6 C F7 C7
everyone else around me
End on C
