Attempt to capture chords for Ed's official Live Acoustic version: NOTE: These chords are different than the official lyric video. [Intro] G [Verse 1]
  G                                 Dsus4/F#
I overthink and have trouble sleepin'

    Dsus4/F#                            Cadd9
All purpose gone and don't have a reason

    Cadd9                                 D
And there's no doctor to stop this bleedin'

   D                                     G
So I left home and jumped in the deep end

       G                                       Dsus4/F#
Took a job for dad, I think, just to please him

   Dsus4/F#                          Cadd9
So when I quit, I just kept it secret

Cadd9                                 D
I have friends, but no longer see them

D                             G
It's just me and now all my demons
[Pre-Chorus]
           G
Are heavy weighing on my heart

            Dsus4/F#      Dsus4/F#
I guess I'm done already, all but given up

            Cadd9
I'm burning days till the week end

    Cadd9                     Cadd9
And start, I just pretend I'm not where I am

         D
Should I cancel my plans?
[Chorus]
Em                 Em                      G
Saturday night, is givin' me a reason to rely on the strobe light

G                  Dsus4                   Dsus4
 The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass and I'll take that

          Cadd9                  Cadd9
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag

Em                 Em                      G
Saturday night, is givin' me a reason to rely on the strobe light

G                  Dsus4                   Dsus4
 The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass and I'll take that

          Cadd9                  Cadd9
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag
[Verse 2]
G  G                                             Dsus4/F#
   My friend died, it's been years, still grievin'

    Dsus4/F#                              Cadd9
And I thought time would be somehow healin'

     Cadd9                                 Dsus4
When love finds me, I'm too numb to feel it

    Dsus4                                  G
Oh, why the fuck am I still here breathin'?

      G                                   Dsus4/F#
Well, I would pray, but I don't believe it

Dsus4/F#                          Cadd9
Woe is me, but I don't care either

Cadd9                                 D
Life is not the way that it seems, but

D
Maybe this will all be a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
    G                  G
And I'll stay steady, balanced on the rope

             Dsus4/F#          Dsus4/F#
I guess that I'm not ready to rely on the hope

            Cadd9
I'm burning days till the week end

    Cadd9                     Cadd9
And start, I just pretend I'm not where I am

         Dsus4
Should I cancel my plans?
[Chorus]
Em                 Em                      G
Saturday night, is givin' me a reason to rely on the strobe light

G                  Dsus4                   Dsus4
 The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass and I'll take that

          Cadd9                  Cadd9
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag

Em                 Em                      G
Saturday night, is givin' me a reason to rely on the strobe light

G                  Dsus4                   Dsus4
 The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass and I'll take that

          Cadd9                  Cadd9
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag
[Bridge]
Am7     Am7           D
  I'm a wreck head, ah

D                        Am7
Take me to the other side

           G     D    D
Don't look in my eyes,  oh, woah
[Verse 3]
G     G                                    D/F#
 It's almost mornin', I'm still not leavin'

     D/F#                                Cadd9
It's wearin' off, but I still can feel it

 Cadd9                            D
Another one and I'll touch the ceilin'

D
This is all I want to be
[Chorus]
Em                 Em                      G
Saturday night, is givin' me a reason to rely on the strobe light

G                  Dsus4                   Dsus4
 The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass and I'll take that

          Cadd9                  Cadd9
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag

Em                 Em                      G
Saturday night, is givin' me a reason to rely on the strobe light

G                  Dsus4                   Dsus4
 The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass and I'll take that

          Cadd9                  Cadd9
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag
