Here I go again, put me on the first train heading eastbound.
Em C
And if it's true I'm still alive, I promise not to tell my dad I'm miserable
D
but thanks for all the sacrifice.
Bm
Cause I'm ashamed of the things that I did,
C
I said whatever it took just to get her in bed and
Em
It's kinda fun when you're only a kid
C D
but you grow up to learn that the scars are kinda permanent

But I haven't had one drink in three whole years.
There's no need for drinking when you're not here.
Do you find it amusing I'm seeing clear?
in this haze of hateful atmosphere.
figure out the strum pattern for this next part...
C D Bm
So come on we're not fooling anybody tonight
Bm G
We're the king and queen of social suicide.
C D
And things are better now knowing that we've never felt anyone else.
CHORUS:
Bm D
So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone.
D A
[and if anyone can help], I think I'm losing it
C D
I grab and hold on tightly but i start to slip.
Bm
I've got a problem with my self control, (Hold on)
D
I fall in love when I'm with any girl. (Honest)
A C
They got it wrong saying love is blind it's fine,
D
It's just disguised as sex tonight.

Bm
Cause she's got that dress on,
C Em D
you know the one that shows off the things that she can do to me.
Bm C
And I'm taking lessons how not to beg for sex
Em D
it's just a side effect we're feeling from the ectasy.
C D Bm
So come on we're not getting any younger tonight.
Bm G
Your the gracious host and I'm the parasite.
C D
It's the simple act of growing old

and we're the end results, slow down...
C D
Cause I can tell when you're aroused, (like now...)
