Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
The night we said that we
Bm 
D 
had won at life
G 
We were high as fucking kites, above the city
A 
D 
And no one's ever looked as pretty as
A 
D 
when you turned to walk away
Had to silence my addiction,
Bm 
my inherent invincibility
D 
But we all learn from and
G 
yearn for what we had
Em 
A 
In the guts of the glory days
D 
Look back and be nostalgic,
Bm 
to blanket our current fears
D 
A 
G 
I look death in the eye once a  week,
Em 
for a couple of years
A

My formative years,
I got as drunk as anyone

And I wonder how that

will affects me
Now that those years have

been and gone
D 
My stagnant half form
My mind malnourished and
Bm 
my bones near breaking
G 
Or does everyone come up like this?
D 
Em 
A 
Never giving, always taking
D 
The issues that we let cloud our heads
Bm 
To distract ourselves from how
fucked we truly are
G 
And passion can be pointless if
it's all for passion sake
A 
Thank everything that I found
this or my life
Would've been a complete waste
D 
Come on teach me self

These dreams unfamiliar but sincere
Let myself disappear in the

Press my knees into the fake sheepskin
Trying to pick who next to run

But trying to keep a lid on it

I want some dive- in happiness
A

I want to be in love again
