You've watched the shows,

What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
E Emaj7
(Medicated?), hypnotized.
A B
Anything to take it from your mind.
A B
But it won?t go,
E C#m
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
A B
Oh, whoa,
E
You're going through six degrees of separation.
(VERSE CHORDS SAME)
You hear the drinking, take a toll
Watch the past go up in smoke.
Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say
You're better now than ever, and your life's okay
When it's not, whoa
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Oh, Whoa
You're going through six degrees of separation.
C#m A E
First, you think the worst is a broken heart

C#m A E
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
B
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
C#m A E

And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have f**ked up a little
C#m A E B
((My mother ain't no help?), it's every man for himself) x2
(VERSE CHORDS SAME)
You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too,
Anyone flowing all around you, yeah
Tarot cards
Gems and stones,
Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul.
We'll it's not, no
Your only doing things out of desperation,
Oh, no
Your goin' through six degrees of separation.

A
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation
(Repeat)
CHORUS
