Intro
C#m7 Cadd9
[Verse]
C#m7 Cadd9
Tried to get the audience out from inside my head
C#m7 Cadd9
And the things you say are beautiful, but they don’t make very much sense
C#m7 B Cadd9
From the day that I was born, they took me for all that I had
C#m7 Cadd9
And I let them, ‘cause they let me in
C#m7 B Cadd9
I'm so weak, I can barely hold this instrument
[Chorus]
E B Cadd9
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
E B Cadd9
I wanna make fun of cops with you
[Verse]
C#m7 Cadd9
You went on tour and I went on medication
C#m7 Cadd9
I’ve been stuck in this waiting room and they’re telling me to stay patient
C#m7 B Cadd9
So, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll sing this song for you
C#m7 Cadd9
Celebrate with a joint or two, and a new backyard tattoo
C#m7 B Cadd9
And think of the time that we spent watching X-Files in your living room
[Chorus]
E B Cadd9
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
E B Cadd9
I wanna find every truth with you
[Verse]
C#m7 Cadd9
And it all comes down to the knowledge that we’re gonna die
C#m7 Cadd9
Find comfort in that or be scared for the rest of your life
C#m7 B Cadd9
So, I sing and I scream and I strum and I try to help out
C#m7 Cadd9
’Til I can build a little house that the government doesn’t know about
C#m7 B Cadd9
But I’d rather be right here than anywhere else, right now
[Chorus]
E B Cadd9
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
E B Cadd9
I wanna watch the empire fall with you
[Outro]
C#m B A (x2)
C#m B A C#m B A
And it’s fucking with me that you didn’t see that it wasn’t them and it was always me who knew too much
C#m B A
And I’m no storyteller the way you are, I’m just an angry kid who got given a guitar
C#m B A
But how dare you say that I’m too young
C#m B A
To know that the ticket prices are going up and the trains still aren’t on time
C#m B A
And the thugs that patrol the lines are the reason I’ll never pay my fines
C#m B A
And prescription prices are going up and we’re not making any more money
C#m B A
Tony’s wallet’s getting heavy, Gina's stomach is far from empty
C#m B A
And it’s too many in my mind and now I’m living on the west side
C#m B A
You say “Breathe it in, breathe it out”, you don’t know what you’re talking about
C#m B A
And it’s eating away at my insides and now I’m living on the west side
C#m B A
And my mother says I’ve gotten thin
C#m B A C#m
Don’t wanna see you for a couple of years but yours is a funeral I’d fly to from anywhere
