Tom: Bm
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
