Chords

A great song from their first release I Hate My Friends. If you want to play this song like Brian Sella does, then use two string power chords. [Intro]
D       Bm
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!
[Verse 1]
           D
Squeeze my arms a little tighter

       F#m
Let me know I'm still alive

                 Bm                            A  
Cause you're the only one here keeping both my eyes open tonight

      D
And I know that we got problems

        F#m
Who are they to criticize

     Bm                                A
If I tell you all my secrets would you tell me all your lies

           D
And when I stop writing her letters

              F#m
I want her to know that it's because

       Bm                                   A
I have someone that makes me feel the same exact way that she does

           D                                 F#m
And I will not deny the privilege to someone else who wants my love

       Bm                                     A
I have stitched a mask of confidence and I'll wear it like a glove 
[Chorus]
      G                                 Em
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today

              G                                     Em
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say

      G                               Em
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie

           G                                      Em
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's no point to even try

               D          F#m              Bm               A            
No point to try, no point try, no point to try, no point to try
[Verse 2]
D                               F#m
I don't get it for real, this is blowing my mind

        Bm                                 A
We keep saying we're unhappy and they keep saying that we're fine

        D                              F#m
I guess pain will be the only thing I ever get to bring

           Bm                                     A
But I will send it through the air like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing

           D                                    F#m
All I ever wanted was something different, maybe by another name

         Bm                              A
We could set ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame
[Chorus]
G
So keep clapping and dancing

         Em                                    G
Let them know you're still alive and if you're tired of giving up

                   Em
At least make them think that you survived

        G                              Em
So keep laughing, its not funny but at least you don't have to cry

         G                              Em
When you wake up in the morning and you know you're still alive

             D                            F#
You're still alive, you know you're still alive

             Bm                     A
You're still alive, you know you're still alive
[Bridge]
         D                  A
Until we break down, til we shut down

          D                                     A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

         D                  A
Until we break down, til we shut down

          D                                     A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

         D                  A
Until we break down, til we shut down

          D                                    A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
[Chorus]
      G                                 Em
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today

             G                                      Em
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say

      G                                 Em
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie

           G                                          Em
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to even try

                G
Little point to try
