B
And half the time I want to go home
F#m
For the past year I’ve been living in a town
That gets a lot of tourists in the summer months
B
They come and they stay for a couple days
But hey, I’m living here every day
F#m
I don’t need the complications
I’m just in it for the beating
It’s almost a point of pride
They say that it doesn’t happen that often
B
Pure sadism
Pure sadism

F#m
I find it harder to speak
B
When someone else is listening

In the back of a medicine cabinet
You can find your life story
And your future in the side effects

I haven’t played guitar in months
My strings all broke

They got a portrait by Van Gogh
On the Wikipedia page
For clinical depression
Well, it helps to describe it

Yeah, it helps to describe it

I don’t have the strength
(I don’t have the time)
I poured myself a drink
(I told myself a lie)
B
You know I’ve worried
(You know I’ve tried)
Don’t you know I’m not strong?
(Don’t you know I’m not kind?)
F#m
Someone’s getting lucky
(Someone’s calling the cops)
Someone take me away
(Someone make it all stop)
B
I had a bright tomorrow
(I spent it all today)
Now I am silent at last
Now I have nothing to say

E B A
I get to know myself every weekend and I’m weak
E G A
E G A
Hangovers feel good when I know it’s the last one
E G A
Then I feel so good that I have another one
E B A
E G A
Last Friday I took acid and mushrooms
E G A
I did not transcend, I felt like a walking piece of shit
E B A
In a stupid looking jacket
E G A
I walked around town and thought I was in Sodom
E G A
There were filthy people seeking comfort for their bodies
E B A
It was so obscene
E G A
Filled with loathing and religious fervor
E G A
I laid on my friend’s bedroom floor for an hour
E B A
And tried not to piss my pants
And then I saw Jesus
And he said
E B A
Oh, oh, oh
“Who are you to go against the word of my father? And
E B A
Oh, oh, oh
Who are you? the scum of the earth”
E B A
No we are just we are just we are just teens of style
E B A
Oh we are just we are just we are just teens of style
E G A
There were people getting drunk, there were people getting high
E G A
They were falling to pieces right before my eyes
E B A
And I said “mmhmm” a lot (mmhmm)
E G A
And there was one guy there who kept asking me how does it are you sure feel and I
E G A
Didn’t even you don’t want to know how to talk about begin to answer what you’re
E B A
Experiencing that question and I just said so I just said no I don't want to talk about it
E G A E
So there I was, just another shitbag civilian
G A
Afraid of the cops when I was outside, afraid of my friends when I was inside
E B A
And I grew tired of the scene
And then my dad showed up
And he was like
E B A
Oh, oh, oh
“Who are you to go against the word of our fathers?”
E B A
Oh, oh, oh
E B A
“Who are you? the scum of the earth”
E B A
No we are just we are just we are just teens of style
E B A
No we are just we are just we are just victims of the contemporary style
E B A
Yes we are just we are just we are just we are just going along with the modern style
E B A
Now everybody everybody everybody’s going along with the modern style
Let’s do it together
It goes

Drugs are better

Drugs are better with

Friends are better

Friends are better with...

N.C.
In the backseat of my heart
E Emaj7 F#m7 A
My love tells me I'm a mess
E Emaj7 F#m7
I couldn't get the car to start
E Emaj7 F#m7 A
I left my keys somewhere in the mess
E Emaj7 F#m7
It comes and goes in plateaus
A E
One month later I'm a fucking pro
Emaj7 F#m7 A
My parents would be proud
E Emaj7
Or fall asleep on the floor
F#m7
Forget what happened in the morning
A E Emaj7
There are notes in your handwriting

But you can't make it out
A E
We are not a proud race

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
E Emaj7 F#m7 A
It's too late to articulate it
E Emaj7 F#m7 A
That empty feeling
E Emaj7 F#m7 A
You share the same fate as the people you hate
E Emaj7 F#m7
You build yourself up against others feelings
A E Emaj7 F#m7
And it left you feeling empty as a car coasting downhill
A E
I have become such a negative person
Emaj7
It was all just an act
F#m7
It was all so easily stripped away
A E Emaj7
But if we learn how to live like this
F#m7
Maybe we can learn how to start again
A E Emaj7
Like a child who's never done wrong
F#m7
Who hasn't taken that first step
A E
We are not a proud race
B G#
It's not a race at all
F#m
We're just trying
E B
I'm only trying to get home
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

Put it out of your mind

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

Killer whales, killer whales

Giving you shit again

But you know he loves you

F5
(I never thought it would happen to me but…)x2
F5
No one should ever have to look at themselves
F5
I steer clear of graveyards
They are cliche
In my death-obsessed generation
F
No one should ever have to look at themselves
F
High school teen dream dies in the hospital
A#
Leaves behind a journal and a pair of Air Jordans
F5
Lyrics of popular rock ballads

Changed to include his name
F
I’m taking back my heart
A#
You were digging a hole for it six feet deep
(at the state park, at the state park)
A# F
I didn’t want you to hear
A#
That shake in my voice
G
My pain is my own
A# F
And when the cops shook me down
A#
I cried walking home
G A# C
I cried walking home
G A# F
F
You and me are connected now
We were in one photograph and we don’t even look happy
I can't commit to a crime to commit
I need to get one done for the biography because
F
When I split the scene
Leave the party early
A#
What am I leaving behind me?
F
Just a memory
Another body
A#
It ain’t no pair of Air Jordans

Something is ringing
Death is playing his
Xylophone ribs for me
F A# x2

I didn’t want you to hear

That shake in my voice

My pain is my own

And when the cops shook me down

I didn’t want you to hear

Bm
Of my voice again
A F#m A G D
For years I hadn't had a clue, but suddenly I can look through
Bm
Your eyes again
A F#m A G Bm7
This isn't sex, I don't think, it's just extreme empathy

Eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference

A Bm
Oh, girl

It's a small world

And you know you got to come see me sooner or later, girl you know I know...

Well, everyone learns to live with themselves

It's an unforgiving world

Horn part: A C#m/G# G F#m F
A E
If you really wanna make it last
Em D
You could commit yourself completely
A E
You could lie down in the river at last
Em D
And let the dread complete you
A E
And if you really don't want the pain
Em D
You can disengage completely
A E
Because it wasn't healthy anyways
Em D
And you've got a job and a family
A E Em F#m x2

If you really wanna fall asleep
Em D
Then you'll have to find some punctuation

And if you wanna ride it out to the end
Em D
You can tie your thoughts together
A E
And if you really wanted to be kind
Em D
You'd have forgiven them a long ass time ago
A E
And if you really wanna know how kind you are
Em D
Just ask yourself why you're lying in bed alone
A E Em F#m x2
A E
I know you wish my flesh would yield
Em D
I love you but I can’t stand the touch

If you really wanna know yourself
Em D
It will come at the price of knowing no one else
A E
This guy, he was so high
Em D
I asked my friend to punch him out
A E Em F#m
Can you kick his ass?
Can you kick his ass for me?
A E Em F#m
A E
And if you really wanna make the change
Em D
Then you would cut yourself off completely
A E
But if you just want it to be ok
Em D
It will never be ok
A E Em F#m x2
A E
It'll be alright

It'll be alright

Now you gotta change addresses again
Em D
If they knew where the fire was they'd put it out
A E
Someone's knocking on your door
Em D
Fire turned towards me with an open mouth
A E
And if you don't come home tonight
Em D
You will never call it home again
A E
And if you need some peace and quiet
Em D
There is room for all in heaven

10. The Ballad of the Costa Concordia
-------------------------------------
D G D F#m Bm F#m Bm A x2
D G D
I used to like the morning
F#m Bm
I’d survived another night
F#m Bm
I’d walk to breakfast through the garden
A D
See the flowers stretching in the sunlight
G D
Now I wake up in the morning
F#m Bm
And all the kindness is drained out of me
F#m Bm
I spend hours just wincing
A G
And trying to regain some sense of peace
D E
If only I could sustain my anger
Em D A
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
G D E
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
Em D
Shakes off the weight of my sins
A G D
And takes me to heaven
G D
I stay up late every night
F#m Bm
Out of some general protest
F#m Bm
But with no one to tell you to come to bed
A D
It’s not really a contest
G D
Maybe you think
F#m Bm
I’ll learn from my mistake
F#m Bm
But not this time
A G
It’s just gonna break me
D E
If only I could sustain my anger
Em D A
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
G D E
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
Em D
Shakes off the weight of my sins
A G
And takes me to heaven
D G D
And if I’ve lost you for good
F#m Bm
Could it have been any other way?
F#m Bm
Was the water filling up for years
A D
Or did I wreck it all in a day?
G D
I’m going to bed now
F#m
I’ve sunk into my sorrows
Bm F#m
And it’ll take three hundred million dollars
Bm E Em D A
To get me up tomorrow
E Em D A
G D
I won’t go down with this shit
Em Bm
I will put my hands up and surrender
G D
There will be no more flags above my door
A Em
I have lost, and always will be
G Bm G D A
It was an expensive mistake
It was an expensive mistake
My horse broke his back to get me here
I have his blood on my hands for no reason
But what was I supposed to do?
How was I supposed to know how to use a tube amp?
How was I supposed to know how to drive a van?
How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself?
How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself?
How was I supposed to know how to hold a job?
How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to play
Basketball?
How was I supposed to know how to not get drunk every
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
And - why not - Sunday?
How was I supposed to know how steer this ship?
How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship?
It was an expensive mistake
Can’t say you’re sorry and it’s over
I was given a body that is falling apart
My house is falling apart -
I was given a mind that can't control itself
I was given a ship that can't steer itself
And what about the pain I’m in right now?
And what about a vacation?
And what about a vacation to feel good?
My horse broke his back and left me here
How was I supposed to know?
And God won’t forgive me
And you won’t forgive me
Not unless I open up my heart
And how am I supposed to do that
When I go to this same room every night
Sleep in the same bed every night
Same fucking bed
Red comforter with the white stripes
And the yellow ceiling light makes me feel like I’m dying
This sea is too familiar
How many nights have I drowned here?
How many times have I drowned?
G Bm G D

I give up (x2)

B Bm
Let us take you back to where we came in
We were united, an undivided nation

We got divided, it was something inside us
B
It was not us

We were so naive, we were just like animals
E
Told what to believe by the beasts who took control
A B
We wanted control too, but that was normal
Cause our life was one of survival
Bm
The decisions we've made, if you can call it deciding
E A B
With your life on the line, it'd be social suicide to change your mind
So we got mad and we split the scene

Now we download all of our shit for free

It's the new economy, we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash

"it was not me"
Stopped at the borderline they took his disguise
Bm
So he read a book that won a Pulitzer prize
E
It was about death
A
It didn't help
B
He saw himself in it
He was disturbed at the conclusions it led to
Bm
But he couldn't say what because the author was dead too
E A B
And so though he made fun of us, he has now become one of us

A Em Dmaj7
It was just a horse, I couldn’t tell if it was sad or not
A Em Dmaj7 x2
A Em Dmaj7
I held out my hand like there was something in it
A Em Dmaj7
Managed to touch it, it did not seem interested
A Em Dmaj7
Then a car pulled up, so I split the scene
A Em Dmaj7
I am a tourist attraction biking down DoG Street
