[Intro]
N.C.
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a
[Verse 1]
G G*
Typical story where the bassist kills the singer
G G*
And the guitarist and the drummer find they're in love with each other
G G*
It's the story of the kid who clearly won't know what to say
F N.C.
When the love of his life starts to calmly walk away
G G*
And it's the story of the dad who decides to chase his dream
G G*
He quits his job, he falls apart and he loses everything
G G*
And it's the story of the kid who who just wants to make a record
A N.C.
Loves and crafts it but nobody ever, ever cares about it (well)
[Chorus]
G G*
Hey hey, what's your name? Talk is for the guys you hate
G G*
We should sit in silence while we think of what to say, hey
G G*
Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
F F#
Will you forget I even asked you to come over to my house?
G G*
Hey, hey, I don't think I know much
G G*
But I know I couldn't take a good punch
G G*
So if you feel like I've been talking enough
A F F#
Just tell me to shut up and I will gladly shut the fuck up
[Bridge 1]
C
I'm afraid of everything staying the same or worsening
C
So what's the point of finding calm, when calm to me is unsettling?
C
Settle down, little kid, your bones are shaking in your skin
F F#
Go and try and take a breath, though nothing more, nothing less (it's a, it's a, it's a)
[Verse 2]
G G*
Typical story of the king who had it all
G G*
Except for citizens who didn't want his head up on a wall
G G*
It's the typical story of the wife who couldn't quit
F F#
Being in love with such a giant piece of shit
N.C. G G*
It's the story of the queen who could never ever think
G G*
Of any redeeming qualities a man could ever bring
G G*
It's the story of the dog who wanted to run away
A F F#
'Til he learned that his life is way safer inside a cage
[Bridge 2]
Bb
I don't really need much
Bb Am
Just a place to be alone and you won't really see much
Bb
I think that I'm invisible, my mirror shows another guy
Bb Am
A guy doesn't do shit, he just sits in his miserable
[Pre-chorus]
G
Everybody's gotta live a life
G
That they didn't ask for
G
Why would he put me here just to die?
G
Just to, just to, die
[Chorus]
G G*
Hey hey, what's your name? Talk is for the guys you hate
G G*
We should sit in silence while we think of what to say, hey
G G*
Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
F F#
Will you forget I even asked you to come over to my house?
G G*
Hey, hey, I don't think I know much
G G*
But I know I couldn't take a good punch
G G*
So if you feel like I've been talking enough
A F F#
Just tell me to shut up and I will gladly shut the fuck up
[Interlude]

Just to, just to, die
