Friday Night Placebo

Am7 D7 G

[Verse]
G
Caught me shoegazing like some lo-fi band,

A desperate beer in each one of my hands,
Am7                  D7               G
I’ll dance the night away to prove it’s great.
G
Ten minutes later, repetitive lines,
G
Valencia filters are passing the time, and
Am7                           D7
the photo’s flash has made my eyes
Bm7                   E7
Appear to be the ghostly kind
G
but I’ve sunk into music just like the dead sea
                                         Am7
I try and go further til buoyancy floats me,
         D7
semi sobriety,
G                 Em7
an unconscious mess I guess I’ll never be

[Chorus]
Am7                D7               G
that’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night
Em7            Am7               D7           G
all night, all night, i’ll pop sugar pills all night

Am7                        D7
I can’t see a thing in the haze around me
      G                       Em7
I’m still having fun cause I know I should be
Am7                       D7
when will I stop being such a dumb kid and go
B7                   Em7
wherever real life is?

Am7              D7                G     E7
But why would I lie when I said I won’t?
Am7              D7                G     E7
I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t.
Am7                      D7              G
that’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night,
Em7              Am7
all right, all right,
   D7               G
placebo-ing on friday night


[Verse]
G
I’m just a weed growing out of the wall -
G
it’s an obvious secret that’s kept by us all
Am7                    D7
tonight, but this will die with me,
G                        E7
I’ll bury it deep in my broken phone screen
Am7               D7                G
alright, till the backlight kills my sight

G
But tell me that funny things don’t go away
G
and promise we’ll keep being stupid all day
Am7                D7
so hey, who needs life anyway?
G                        E7
let’s stay immature and let's not ever stray

[Chorus]
Am7                D7               G
that’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night
Em7            Am7               D7           G
all night, all night, i’ll pop sugar pills all night

Am7                        D7
I can’t see a thing in the haze around me
      G                       Em7
I’m still having fun cause I know I should be
Am7                             D7
when will I stop being such a dumb kid and go
B7                   Em7
wherever real life is?

Am7              D7                G     E7
But why would I lie when I said I won’t?
Am7              D7                G     E7
I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t.
Am7                      D7              G
that’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night,
Em7          C        Cm7
all right, all right, all right
   C             Cm7
