Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
C          F    (C ) G
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
       C          C    (C )    G                  F
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
          C        C          (C )  G
I took a shot and didn't even come close
   C          F       G
At trust and love and hope
         C        F    C               G
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
    C     F           G
and never had it at all
(riff)
"..never.."
         Amsus   
C         F
And the record won't stop skipping
         Amsus    
C          F
And the lies just won't stop slipping
    
C               F              G
And besides my reputation's on the line
       Amsus   
C       F
We can fake it for the airwaves
          Amsus   
C     F
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
         
C         F     G
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
G                C            F                    C          F
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
      
C    F       G
Blame everyone but me for this mess
        
C            F        C               F
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
   
C     F       G
We never seemed so far
    
C           F                        G
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
       
C     F         G
But we never had it at all

And the lies just won't stop slipping
