Verse 1:
C#m
You're not running just enough of a wreck
         A                    B
To hold the hurt heart everybody expects
  C#m
And I know you wrote a history of making a mess
  A                            B
Misunderstood's an understatement at best

Pre-Chorus:
C#m                        A                
How long, how long will you demand my sympathy?
B                         A              B
We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to?
A                             B                
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
  G#m                    F#m  
No one's buying it anyway

Chorus:
C#m                             
You're so tired trying to rewind 
 A                                E
the mess you've made of your own mind
                        G#m                    
(Woah) But the pieces won't pick up themselves, 
 B
you know
C#m                                      A
You can fight just like you've been taught
                                E
It won't undo the life you've got
                  G#m                           B

You're after something better

You're still not put together

I remember what you were before you gave it away 
                             C#m    
You've never been the type to watch

F                 Am
I can't help but close my eyes for life
Dm                      Am

And I will stop with my pretending
F                  Am                           Dm

Just not enough to silence me, 
Bb
you're only a memory
F                                       C   
I'll scream these words 'til they come true, 
                              Dm
then I will think no more of you
                              Bb    
Look back on what I'm going through,

You can't outrun your ending

And I'll get well long before you let yourself
Dm                 Am
I may forgive you, but you never will

Bridge:
                   Am                    Bb        
And I told you, I told you, you had no right
                     Am C
How damaged you must be

You have my sympathy

Capo on 1st fret

Verse 1:
E                G     
Test my reality, check if there's a weak spot 
A                    E
Clinging to insanity in hopes 
E
the world will ease up 
G                        
Try and make it look like 
  A
it's all somehow getting better 
E                                   A
'Cause I know how to play it pretty good 
A
against the measure 
G                                    
Everyone started out a little insane 
E                           
But we learned pretty quick 
A
how to fake it for the game, 
G                  E
but some you never learned to drop the act
A                                G 
so under that skin of yours is a heart-attack

Chorus:
                     E
Cause everybody's so scared 
                  G
We don't want to go there 
                   A
We don't want to make a move 
                     E     
We've got all our lives to lose 
               G
Screaming in the dark 
                A     
While we just play our part 
            E
I'll play right along 
              G 
Like I don't know what's going on 
          A
Somebody make a move 
        E
Somebody make a move 
          G        
Please, somebody, make a move 
           A       
We all know, we all know what's going on

Verse 2:
E                    G
And if I the answers I'd have written them out
A                             
So I could tell you what to do 
 E
and what this thing is about
G                         A
But all I've ever learned comes second hand
E                            G
And I dare not preach what I don't understand
A                  E
You and I we share the same disease
G                   A
Cover up compromise is what we grieve 
E                     G
I've let more than my share of revivals die 
A                  E
This isn't pretty, but it's what I am tonight

Chorus:
                     E
Cause everybody's so scared 
                  G
We don't want to go there 
                   A
We don't want to make a move 
                     E     
We've got all our lives to lose 
               G
Screaming in the dark 
                A     
While we just play our part 
            E
I'll play right along 
              G 
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move

Somebody make a move

Please, somebody, make a move

We all know, we all know what's going on

Bridge:
          E
Pointing my fingers 
          G
The problems still linger 
          A
They keep getting bigger 
           E 
And I hold the trigger 
          E
Running with fire
          G
I live like a liar 
          A
Please, somebody, make a move

Chorus:
                     E
Cause everybody's so scared 
                  G
We don't want to go there 
                   A
We don't want to make a move

Screaming in the dark

While we just play our part 
            E
I'll play right along

                     E
Cause everybody's so scared

It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm

For my darkened depression is making me go mad
        Em                           C
I hear there's a fine line between crazy and sad
       G                             D       
But I can't tell the difference up close
          Em                         C
There's a lot of us you know ill and undiagnosed
             G                        D
But I don't need a piece of paper to tell me 
D
what I already know
Em                      C                
I'm not alright, for tonight, can we let 
           G
that be alright?
                     D
Pick up the battle again in the morning light

Pre-Chorus:
    Em                            C
And I'm fighting so hard to come out of the dark
           G                 
Trying to turn off the night, 
          D
finally let in the light
           Em                     C
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
   G                     D
А little less victim, a little more victory

Chorus:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
 Em              C              G       D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em              C
I keep getting better 
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G
What's wrong with me when happy hurts?
(D)      Em
  Happy hurts

Verse:
Em                              C
Today I feel okay guess it was all just in my head
        G                    D
I just need to try harder I guess
               Em                    
Yeah everyone else in the world seems 
        C
to be doing alright
             G
Yeah, I'm alright for tonight
                D
Can we let the pain and the happy mix
            Em                   C
Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess
           G                    
Because I swear I have them both 
          D
already beating in my chest
    Em                       C
If that makes me crazy even numbers don't lie
       G                               D
But I don't call that crazy I call it being alive

Pre-Chorus:
    Em                            C
And I'm fighting so hard to come out of the dark
           G                 
Trying to turn off the night, 
          D
finally let in the light
           Em                     C
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
   G                    D
А little less victim, please

Chorus:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
 Em              C              G       D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em              C
I keep getting better 
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G
What's wrong with me when happy hurts?
D        Em C G Bm | Em C G D
  Happy hurts

Verse:
     Em                       C
If I had to pick between the way that I am 
         G                        D
And the way that everybody else seems to pretend 
   Em                           C
I wouldn't consider it, not for even a second 
         G                       D
Between psycho and sanity, it's not even a question
             Em                      C
My favorite parts of myself seem to make
C
the least sense, 
          G              
All the cracks in my skin 
            D
they just let the light in
             Em              C
My favorite parts of myself make the least sense
          G                D
All the cracks in my skin let the light in

Chorus:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
Em                C                G   D
All I want's the one thing I can't fi-ind
Em              C
I keep getting better 
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G   D Em C
What's wrong with me when happy hur-urts?

 G                    D          Em C G D
What's wrong with me when happy hurts?

Outro:
Em              C
I keep getting better 
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G    D   
What's wrong with me when happy hurts?
 D     Em  C G D
Happy hurts

Capo on 3rd fret

Verse 1:
Em
We throw tantrums like parties 
C                     D                
We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick 
Em
And that's just how we like it 
C                       D
We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned it 

Pre-Chorus:
Em
Don't tell the others but it's all getting old 
        C                            D
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:
Em           C             D             
I meant it when I said I wanna get well, 
A
I wanna get well 
Em                   C
Are the rest of you so content
 D                        A
Stay where you are but it hurts like hell
C
And I'm sure it's fun at first
D                    A
Test your pulse and check your vitals 
Em             C
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 
C              D
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 
C                               D
The more battle scars the more attention it gets you

Pre-Chorus:
Em
Don't tell the others but it's all getting old 
        C                            D
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:
Em           C             D            
I meant it when I said I wanna get well, 
 A
I wanna get well 
Em                   C
Are the rest of you so content
 D                        A
Stay where you are but it hurts like hell
C
And I'm sure it's fun at first
D                    A
Test your pulse and check your vitals 
Em             C
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
C                    D 
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 
        C                         D
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

Em                    C               D ~
I meant it when I said I wanna get well

Chorus:
Em           C             D            
I meant it when I said I wanna get well, 
 A
I wanna get well 
Em                   C
Are the rest of you so content
 D                        A
Stay where you are but it hurts like hell
C
And I'm sure it's fun at first
D                    A
Test your pulse and check your vitals 
Em             C
If it's only a game you lost me
D
I quit it with the suicidal recital
Em             C
If it's only a game you lost me
D
I quit it with the suicidal recital
