D5                         A5
Maybe I'm defensive 'cause that's my favorite song

        G5                        C5                  C#5 D5
But you cheapen the passion every time you sing along and laugh

                               A5
You take the photographs, you recreate it piece by piece

    G5
You stand the same way and wear the same clothes

    E5                            F#5                            B5
But you don't see the desperation and frustration underneath the pose, the real belief
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                C5
'Cause you're a second-rate imitation

  F5                      G5
A watered-down simulation of the real thing

     B5             D5
That alone wouldn't bug me

             C5                       F5                   G5          D5
But it's you thinking that everything is and has always been that same way
[Chorus]
         C5
Well, it almost sounds like anger

C5
Almost looks like passion

C5
Almost seems like real life worth living

C5
You congratulate yourself for seeming so convincing

C5                               D5                A5
Then go home alone and find that something's still missing
[Verse 2]
A5                  D5                           A5
If this is what you wanted all along, I guess we don't see eye to eye

           G5                         C5             C#5  D5
'Cause I'm looking around, trying to figure out what went wrong

                           A5
So much potential could've added up

             C5
Even if we'd given up, I'd understand

                             G5                        D5
But we tried so hard and got nothing but a rented hall with your shitty band
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C5
Who are we kidding?

   F5                           G5               B5      D5
We killed our own dreams before anyone else ever got the chance

    C5                 F5
Now we don't even dance

   G5            D5
So let's just go home
[Chorus]
         C5
Well, it almost sounds like anger

C5
Almost looks like passion

C5
Almost seems like real life worth living

C5
You congratulate yourself for seeming so convincing

C5                               D5                A5
Then go home alone and find that something's still missing
[Outro]
         C5
Well, it almost sounds like anger

C5
Almost looks like passion

C5
Almost seems like real life worth living

C5
You congratulate yourself for seeming so convincing

C5                               D5                A5
Then go home alone and find that something's still missing

D5                A5
Something's still missing

D5                A5
Something's still missing
