Tom: Eb
Bb C
Though we tried to be kind
F
I was sunk, always late
Bb F C
We were quick to rotate
Dm C
Let's be blunt, I was a bluff
Bb F
And the surreal life was tough
Dm C
I was a runt, we told lies
Eb
But to our great surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7 C
All the shit that we did
Gm7 C
Brought us some money, I guess
Gm7 C
And those snotty young kids
Gm C
Were a standing success
Bb F
Helped us conquer and rise
Bb C
And we learned in this hell
[Chorus]
N.C. F
We don't wanna get wise
F
(I don't wanna get wise
F
I don't wanna get wise)
Eb N.C.
Life teaches us well
[Interlude]
Eb F Eb
[Verse 2]
Eb F
We still pull, we get smug
Bb C
And we all like a drug
F
Over full, always sated
Bb F C
Puffed up, elated
Dm C
Let's admit our mistakes
Dm F
Are what triggered our breaks
Dm C
We were shits, oh, no disguise
Eb
And it is no surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7 C
That the crap that we did
Gm7 C
Brought us money, God bless
Gm7 C
And those snotty young kids
Gm C
Were a standing success
Bb F
Helped us conquer and rise
Bb C
And we learned in this hell
[Chorus]
N.C. F
We didn't wanna get wise
F
(I don't wanna get wise
F
I don't wanna get wise)
Eb N.C.
Life teaches us well
[Bridge]
Eb Dm7
Experiment, you universe
Cm7 Bb
We'll ask why you choose to curse
Ab
Why set a fire you plan to douse?
C Eb
Why set a rat to catch a mouse?
[Verse 3]
F
He was drunk (he was drunk), I was blind (he was blind)
Bb C
Though we tried to be kind
F
I was sunk (he was sunk), he was late (always late)
Bb C
We were quick to rotate
Dm C
We tried hard to stay young
Bb F
But the high notes were sung
Dm C
We've been scarred, we've been prized
Eb F
But you could see in our eyes
[Chorus]
