Chords

Everclear tune a whole step down nowadays (DGCFAD), but if you just want to play in standard, transpose down two semitones so the first chord reads "G". [Chorus]
A
We burn out in the dark

D
We are invisible stars

F#m
We are a question mark

    D
[tab]A
We are broken glass

D
We never had a chance

F#m
We want what we don't have

    D
Be careful what you ask for

A
We will never die

D                    F#m
Put your hope in the sky

F#m
To burn a perfect light

    D
Be careful what you ask for
[Verse]
A                 D
I'm sorry we are living in the car

     F#m                             D
This isn't what you wanted when you gave me your heart

A                D
I'm sorry I got lazy in need

     F#m                             D
This isn't what you wanted when you married me

A                           D
Life looks better when you waste away the day

F#m                         D
Life looks better when you make it all a game

A                           D
Life looks better when you drink away the pain

F#m                         E
Life looks better when you look away

A               D
I know you get mad at me

           F#m                     D
When your card gets denied at the market down the street

A                D
I know that you wanna leave

            F#m
Yeah, this isn't what you wanted when you married me

[Bridge]
Bm           D
You wanna believe

                     A
The world can be perfect

           A/G#            Bm
That anyone can be redeemed

                     D
That good is always better than bad

                          A
That's where it all goes bad

F#m                            A                   F#m
Just when you think that everything is gonna be alright

                          A
That's where it all goes bad

F#m                            A                   F#m
Just when you think that everything is gonna be alright

                          A
That's where it all goes bad
[Chorus]

We burn out in the dark

No this isn't right

    D
Be careful what you ask for

      F#m
This isn't what I asked for

    D
Be careful what you ask for

      A
This isn't what I wanted to see

    D
Be careful what you ask for

      F#m
This isn't what I asked for

    D                       A
Be careful what you ask for
[Outro]
A
Life looks better

F#m                        A
When you look the other way

     F#m
Baby, look away

A              F#m
Do yourself a favor

                A
Look the other way
