capo 2

intro – G D Em7 Cadd9

G D
we’re finding out some scummy fxxk just threw in a fifteen year old .
Em7 Cadd9 G D
i mean com’on , man , is that the life you want?
G
there tearing up these dead – end blocks ,
D
revealing all the shit we wish we forgot
Em7 Cadd9 G D
in the shadow of this careless urban sprawl .
G D Em7
my friends and i , were all fxxked on the inside .
Cadd9 G
my friends and i , were all fxxked on the inside .
D Em7
my friends and i , were all fxxked on the inside .
Cadd9
but we don’t let it run our lives .
G D
one day , i’ll cough all this shit out of my lungs
Em7 Cadd9
from second hand smoking at all night restaurants
G D
and they’ll be up in arms over all the shit we’ve done
Em7 Cadd9 G D
because were getting out , we’re fxxking gone . ( no chord on last phrase )

re – intro – G D Em7 Cadd9 repeat progression for rest of song .

this caustic suburban sense of humor’s gotten me in trouble more than a few times .
we’re singing “lucky” by little league , fxxking up until we get this right .
just cause we’re down , doesn’t mean we gotta stay there .
this fxxking town is like a ship gone underwater ,
and we’ll all drown unless we cut ties to the anchor .
we’d get swallowed here .

one day , i’ll cough all this shit out of my lungs
from second hand smoking at all night restaurants
and they’ll be up in arms over all the shit we’ve done
because were getting out , we’re fxxking gone .

( so chin up and we’ll drown a little slower . )
i’m bad at staying calm ,
( so chin up and we’ll drown a little slower . )
and i know this town’s a time bomb .
i’ve been dragging my feet too long ,
( so chin up and we’ll drown a little slower . ) too long .
we’ve been sinking all along .
( so chin up and we’ll drown a little slower . )
so chin up and we’ll drown a little slower .

one day , i’ll cough all this shit out of my lungs
from second hand smoking at all night restaurants
and they’ll be up in arms over all the shit we’ve done
because were getting out , we’re fxxking gone .
