A--2-
E--x-
[Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
Wasting away, never felt this way before 

  G                                F
I played all the diddies they were hollerin' for

         Am
And they shot at my boots and told me to dance

    G                              F
And I didn't really want to, but before I had the chance 

          C                  G              F
To say my piece everyone was laughing in my face

F       G               Am
Safe to say I hate this place
Am [Verse 2]
Am
Do you want to get lost because I can't stay found 

  G                    F
I done my time killing days in this town

Am
I got a little itch and I'm thirsty

G                    F
All I want to know is: who's coming with me?
[Bridge]
     C            G              F
Fuck you, you're cool, fuck you too

C                 G          F
Last goodbyes are simple and true

C       G                      F
I got a fever for the cowbell, boys

C              G           F 
I fell for the beat, but I stayed on for the noise

G             Am               G          F
Breaking into something that's beautiful, Now

G                 Am          F
Tell me that it's going to be ok

    C         G               Am          F          C                  
Or exhaust my friendships and line up the bottles of Beam

        G          F
from my crib to my grave

  F           G           C
I wrote it to end it this way
C B* F x4 [Verse 3]
      C          B*                 F
Let's get lost because I can't stay found 

        C        B*                   F
Hell anywhere is fine if we drift out now 

       Am      G            F
I'm so tired doing my dying here

                G
We'll fuck them all

                         F   G              
We're going to fuck them all

            C            B*           F
When we get there, there there, there there 

     C                   B*              F
This time we're going to roll where only fools dare 

            Am              G    C               
We going to lie lie lie lie lie

    F       
Tonight we'll disappear
[Outro] C G Am F

Wa-oh wa-oh 

C G Am F 
Wa-oh wa-oooooo...
