you sound truly heartbroken

you hold the high scream into the key change for the outro

but can you play me a song

for the deliberate loser

like an olympic ice skater you’ve put in the hours

you know that you’re scorin’ at least 5 . 9

here come the flowers

i saw them gathered all around you

you were telling them you’re master plan

world domination
D Cm Gm D Cm
any way you can
