[Intro] C G Am F x2 [Verse 1]
  C           G
i dreamt of a fever, 

               Am              F                C
one that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart.

             G                 Am 
with heat to melt these frozen tears and burned with reasons

F           
as to carry on. 

C            G                Am               F      
  into these twisted months i plunge without a light to follow

      C                            G 
but i swear that i would follow anything 

                        Am               F 
if it would just get me out of here.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am               F 
  and so you get six months to adapt

Am                 F
  and then you get two more to leave town.

Am        F                   
  in the event that you do adapt

Am               F             G 
  we still might not want you around.
[Verse 2]
      C            G            Am          F 
and i fell for the promise of a life with a purpose

      C                   G        F 
but i know that that is impossible now.

         C             G 
and so i drink to stay warm

       Am            F 
and to kill selected memories

               C                         G                       F 
because i just can't think anymore about that or about her tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  F
  And I give myself three days to feel better

Am                     F
  Or else I swear I'll drive it off a fucking cliff

Am                           F                                
  'cause if I can't learn to make myself feel better

Am                      F              G
How can I expect anyone else to give a shit?
[Chorus]
       C             G             Am             F
And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere

     C                G                F
Just get me past this dead and eternal snow

         C              G      Am              F
'cause I swear that I'm dying, slowly but it's happening

           C                 G           F
And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere

             C     G             Am    F             C
Just take me there, just take me there, just take me there

    G                       Am               
And say, and lie to me, and say, and lie to me, and say

     F
It's gunna be alright
[Outro]
      C
It's gunna be alright
It's gunna be alright
      G
It's gunna be alright
It's gunna be alright
      Am
It's gunna be alright
It's gunna be alright
      F
It's gunna be alright
It's gunna be alright
C        G                 Am   F
    It's gunna be alright
C
