[Verse 1 - Mark Hoppus]
Am
I live on the dark side
C
So pull the shades tight
Em                           G
Don't shine the light in my eyes
Am
I'm so jealous and inspired
C
It's like I'm always wired
Em      G
To a time-bomb


[Pre-Chorus - Mark Hoppus]
Am                 C
I lost my faith in drinking
Em               G
I lost my voice again
Am
Living on a shark's teeth
C
With you beside me
Em                       G
Waiting for the water to bleed


[Chorus 1 - Alex Gaskarth]
F           C               G
If I tell myself one little lie
G                   Em
Then I think that I'll be alright
F        C               G       G
I tell myself one little lie
F            C           G
My head gets heavy every day
G                     Em
Like it's filled with rocks and memories
F           C               G
'Cause I tell myself one little lie
G                  Em
And the pain don't phase me


[Verse 2 - Mark Hoppus]
Am
Falling of the earth's face
C
Watching your eyes glaze
Em                       G
I taste the salt on your skin
Am
Fighting in a foreign city
C
Tonight will only lead
Em           G
Me to a time bomb


[Pre-Chorus - Mark Hoppus]
Am                   C
You lost yourself in whiskey
Em                 G
You lost your keys again
Am
Living on a shark's teeth
C
With you beside me
Em                       G
Waiting for the water to bleed


[Chorus 1 - Alex Gaskarth]

F           C               G
If I tell myself one little lie
G                   Em
Then I think that I'll be alright
F        C               G       G
I tell myself one little lie
F            C           G
My head gets heavy every day
G                     Em
Like it's filled with rocks and memories
F           C               G
'Cause I tell myself one little lie
G                  Em
And the pain don't phase me

F            C                 G
I trip and stumble some of the time
G                   Em
But I know that I’ll be alright
F           C               G
'Cause I tell myself one little lie
G                  Em
And the pain don't phase me
