Capo on 3rd fret
Verse 1:
Em
We throw tantrums like parties
CD
We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick
Em
And that's just how we like it
CD
We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned it
Pre-Chorus:
Em
Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
CD
I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
C
And being lonely's only fun in a group
D
It sort of loses it's charm when it's true
Chorus:
EmCD
I meant it when I said I wanna get well,
A
I wanna get well
EmC
Are the rest of you so content
DA
Stay where you are but it hurts like hell
C
And I'm sure it's fun at first
DA
Test your pulse and check your vitals
EmC
If it's only a game you lost me
D
I quit it with the suicidal recital
Verse 2:
Em
So now you know all my secrets
CD
I want out, I know I don't need this
Em
Can you find me friends that don't rank me
Em
on what I've been through
CD
The more battle scars the more attention it gets you
Pre-Chorus:
Em
Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
CD
I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
C
And being lonely's only fun in a group
D
It sort of loses it's charm when it's true
Chorus:
EmCD
I meant it when I said I wanna get well,
A
I wanna get well
EmC
Are the rest of you so content

Stay where you are but it hurts like hell

Test your pulse and check your vitals
EmC
If it's only a game you lost me
D
I quit it with the suicidal recital
Bridge:
Em
Yeah we should've known it would end this way
CD
What did you expect, pretend it all away
C
And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts
D
I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start
Em
Come on, dry your eyes, meet me on the other side
CD
Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive
C
We know better now, we don't have to live like this
D
Go tell them all we don't have to live like this
EmCD ~

GD
And the way that everybody else seems to pretend
