[Verse 1]
          A                          D
I know a snake; I know a snake when I see one in the grass.
          A                          D
I see you slithering along, breaking everybody’s necks.
           A
How’s that movie theater job?
           D
How’s that boyfriend of yours?
           A                         D5
How’s that endless pain that you can never ignore?
                  A
You know what I’m talking about.
      D                         A
Don’t try to pretend- keeps you up at night,
            D
Reasons you lost your friends,
             A                   D
You said, "I needed an outlet. I needed a way out.
  A              D5
I needed so much more."

[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m                A
And it’s hard to say, “I’ll be alright.
     D                 Bm
I’ll die for you. I’ll die tonight."
  F#m         A                 D
I never had a chance to say, “I missed you, man.”
    Bm
But anyway…
     F#m                A
It’s hard to say, “I’ll be alright.
Continues after the ad
     D                  Bm
I’ll die for you. I’ll die tonight."
  F#m         A                 D
I never had a chance to say, “I missed you, man.”
    Bm
But anyway…

[Bridge]
  F#m              E
I needed more than what I had.
  D                A
I needed more than what I got.
  F#m              E
I needed more than what I had.
  D                A
I needed more than what I got.

[Chorus]
             F#m                   E
She said, “I love getting stoned.”
             D                 A
She said, “I love getting high, so high.”
             F#m              E      D            A
She said, “I love coming down, but I needed to try.”
            F#m                 E
He said, “I love getting stoned.”
            D                A
He said, “I love getting high, so high.”
            F#m              E      D                A
He said, “I love coming down, but I needed to try. I needed to try.”

F#m    E          A             D
Bodily functions, I don’t wanna need them
    F#m    E          A             D
And bodily functions, I don’t wanna need them
    F#m    E          A             D
And bodily functions, I don’t wanna need them
    F#m    E          A              D
And bodily functions, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna-

  A                F#m              E                D
I needed to try, I needed to try, I needed to try, I needed to try,
  A                F#m              E                D                 A
