     G#m            E
Woo, la da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#
La da la la la la da, la da da da

G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#

[Verse 1]
G#m                   E
Breakneck speeds with breakneck lives

           B                 F#
With break-breakneck choices in the night

           G#m                E
You've got two black eyes and bruised up thighs

          B              F#
He said, "I can fight if you can fight!"

          G#m          E
You know, I would be alright if I could make you mine

B                  F#
These can fix your brain if you just give it time

G#m             E
We can take it slow, or we can take it fast

B             F#
Either way, I know that this will never last

G#m                       E
Fuck you, then you fucked me and ruined everything

B                     F#
I felt trapped in our home, so I ran away

G#m                E
Your soul looks so pretty on the outside

B                   F#
 But on the inside, oh, on the inside
[Verse 2]
G#m                     E
Missed you, missed you, he asked, "Can I kiss you?"

B                               F#
Love will always end in pain so please go get your tissues

G#m                   E
Missed me, missed me, I know that you hate me

B                        F#
Maybe he will love me if I let you berate me

G#m                     E
Missed you, missed you, he asked, "Can I kiss you?"

B                               F#
Love will always end in pain so please go get your tissues

G#m                   E
Missed me, missed me, I know that you hate me

B                         F#
Maybe he will love you if I let you berate me
[Chorus]
G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#
La da la la la la da, la da da da

G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#
La da da da da da, da da da da

La da la la la la da, la da da da

La da la la la la da, la da da da

La da la la la la da, la da da da

La da da da da da, da da da da
[Verse 3]
G#m                      E
 Can I please stay for a glass of wine

B                              F#
 Can I keep this book out if I pay the fine

G#m                            E
 Her body gets weaker with the passing time

B                        F#
 She said, "I can see my mom" as she died

G#m                         E
 I miss you so much that it fucking hurts

B                                  F#
 It's like I got barbed wire in my chest coming through my shirt

G#m                                    E
 And when I hold someone, it goes from my chest into theirs

B                              F#
Their heart, their mind, their dreams are mine

           G#m                 E
Alright, alright, 10 years ago I took you home

    B                      F#
The poem that I wrote, you couldn't leave my throat

G#m                E
Regret the day you walked away

          B                      F#
Sorry I'm late, be brave for me, drink up with me

      G#m                       E
Smoke up with me, shoot up with me, looks up to me

B                    F#
Wild and free, feels meant to be

                 G#m                        E
You know there's towns to see and snakes in trees

           B                        F#
With shaky knees, the ugly duckling drowned inside the stream
[Chorus]
G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#
La da la la la la da, la da da da

G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#
La da da da da da, da da da da

G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#
La da la la la la da, la da da da

G#m            E
La da la la la la da, la da da da

B              F#             B
La da da da da da, da da da da
