G                   C               F           C               F
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
C          F    (C) G
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
       C          C9    (C)    G                  F
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
          C        C9          (C)  G
I took a shot and didn't even come close

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

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

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

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