Intro
E E/G# A (x6)
[Verse 1]
E E
I always feel a little bit dyslexic
E E
When I read a note pass through your hands
E E
And I'm kind of winging it through each sentence
E E
Hoping that I'll make you understand
E
That it's bigging me to call
E E E
After you shut me down last night
E E
Yeah, you're lucky we even talk
E E
After last night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E
I was sitting way too close to the TV
E E/G# A
Hoping that America will pull me in
E E
And I don't think that I'm making you incredibly happy
E E/G# A
For once I just wish the world would let me win
[Chorus]
E E
'Cause we're all trying to grow up safely
E E
Even though we act like we just don't care
E E
And there's nothing stopping us all from dying
E E
Can we at least try and look like we're playing fair?
E E
And you're a little overweight for TV
E E
But I think your heart's in the right place
E E
And I don't want to be your only witness
E E
When the world dies and your body breaks
[Post-Chorus]
E E E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, first rule of lovesick
E E E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, don't cry in public
[Verse 2]
E E
I always calling our family doctor
E E
'Cause I'm sure I've only got two days to live
E E
If I knew you would drop everything and come over
E E
Those two days with you I'd like to live
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E E
Even know I'm still a little overweight for TV
E E/G# A
I'm pretty sure America will pull me in
E E
I'm a sucker for the lights and the pretty pictures
E E/G# A
One day the world will let me win
[Instrumental]

'Cause we're all trying to grow up safely

And I don't want to be your only witness
