Intro:
C G C G <--(Continue into verse)

G                 C               F7            G              F
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
C         F7       G
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
      C          F7           G                 F
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
         C        F7               G
I took a shot and didn't even come close

  (C)        (F7)(C) (G)
At trust and love and hope
        (C)       (F7)(C)(G)
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
    #                  G
and never had it at all

         Amsus C          G
And the record won't stop skipping
        Amsus     C          G
And the lies just won't stop slipping
    Amsus          F7              G
And besides my reputation's on the line
       Amsus   C       G
We can fake it for the airwaves
          Amsus   C     G
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
        Amsus     F7     G                   
From comparing myself to everyone else around me

(Play riff and come back in with 'G')

G              C             F7           C       G          F
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
      C    F7      G
Blame everyone but me for this mess
       C             F7       G               F
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
   C     F7        G
We never seemed so far

    (C)       (F7)          (C)         (G)
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
       #                 G
But we never had it at all 

        Amsus  C          G
And the record won't stop skipping
        Amsus     C          G
And the lies just won't stop slipping
    Amsus          F7              G
And besides my reputation's on the line
       Amsus   C       G
We can fake it for the airwaves
          Amsus   C      G
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
         C         F7    G
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
C                  F7    G
                         everyone else around me
C                  F7    G
                         everyone else around me
C                  F7    G                  
                         everyone else around me
C                  F7    G                       C
