IntroEmVerse 1Em
The boy I love’s got another girl
He might be fucking her right now
Am
I don’t have an apartment
Em
Thought if I was smart I’d make it far
But I’m still at the start
Em
Guess I’m contagious it’d be safest if you ran
Fuck that’s what they all just end up doing in the end
Am
Take my car and paint it black
Take my arm, break it in half
Em
Say something, do it soon
It’s too quiet in this room
ChorusG
I need noise
Am
I need the buzz of a sub
Em
Need the crack of a whip
Need some blood in the cut
G
I need noise
Am
I need the buzz of a sub
Em
Need the crack of a whip
Need some blood in the cut
Em*
I need blood in the cut
I need blood in the cut

Verse 2Em
Met back up with the boy I love
Cried on the streets of San Francisco
Am
I don’t have an agenda
Em
All I do is pretend to be ok so my friends
Can’t see my heart in the blender
Em
And lately I’ve been killing all my time
Reading through your messages
My favorite way to die
Am
Take my head and kick it in
Break some bread for all my sins
Em
Say a word, do it soon
It’s too quiet in this room
ChorusEm
I need noise
I need the buzz of a sub
Em
Need the crack of a whip
Need some blood in the cut
Em
I need noise
I need the buzz of a sub
Em
Need the crack of a whip
Need some blood in the cut
Em*
I need blood in the cut
I need blood in the cut

IntroFA#DD#FA#DD#VerseFA#DD#
Nobody showed you how to live? Me either
FA#DD#
Get a steady job, couple kids, act decent
FA#
But I’ve been on a ten-speed
DD#
Thinking about the time as the sun sets
FA#
Like, what would I do different
DD#
If I hit rewind and did it again?
FA#
I, I tried to figure it out
But nothing was coming to mind
D
Remembered all my mistakes
D#
But the memories made me smile
FA#
I told the one that I loved
That love would mean letting me go
D
Even though I was afraid
D#
You gotta do some things on your own
ChorusFA#DD#
This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea
FA#DD#
This life is only what you want it to be
FA#
And I want more, I want more
DD#
I want more, I want more
FA# N.C. D#
I want more, I want more, I want more
VerseFA#DD#
You go to heaven when you die I’m betting
FA#D N.C.
You’re still with me on the line? Just checking
FA#
Cause I’ve been making fast friends
DD#
Late at night the kind when the sun sets
FA#DD#
Like, waking up and thinking honey why I do it again?
FA#
I, I came to in a cold sweat
With a nosebleed feeling hopeless
D
Thought I maybe might be dead
D#
Till I got my pen sat down and wrote this
FA#
Suddenly I felt fine inside a mind so full of ghosts
N.C.
The darkest nights mean you see the stars the most
ChorusFA#DD#
This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea
FA#DD#
This life is only what you want it to be

I want more, I want more, I want more
BridgeGmF
I used to knock on wood, I used to never curse
DmD#
I used to think I could control the universe
GmF
With my obsessive thoughts and what felt like a prayer
DmD#
I shouted to the sky don’t let my family disappear
GmF
I used to feel alone, I used to not belong
DmD#
But little did I know I had the power all along
GmFDmD#
The only thing to fear is never being scared

IntroC#F#C#F#Verse 1C#
We met on a Wednesday
In the summer, it was blazing
F#
You looked at my black jeans, said "are you crazy?"
C#
I guess I might have laughed
And after that you stuck to me like glue
F#
But you had a girl at home and too many tattoos
C#
I was in a rough patch, real depressed
F#
You took my hand and said "the sun it rises in the east"
But I came from the west
C#
My heart it skipped and that was that
F#
I should have known don’t trust a poet
Cause they can’t do the math
ChorusC#
I’m always in the wrong place at the wrong time
F#
Headed on a bad trip with the wrong high
C#
I don’t really know why
F#
But you felt right to me
C#
I hadn’t had a good thing in a long time
F#
Moving in the fast lane with the wrong guy
C#
I don’t really know why
F#
But you felt right to me
InterludeC#F#Verse 2C#
We met on a Friday
In the winter, it was freezing
F#
Felt a bit like history repeating
C#
We’d been on a break
But then decided we could try to spend the night like friends
F# N.C.
And roam the city, knowing what that meant
C#
So we were back and I was pouring poison
F#
Texting you reports from everywhere I went
And you’d write back I miss you even more
N.C.
And it was torture for me
I should have known don’t trust a poet
Cause they prefer to bleed
ChorusC#
I’m always in the wrong place at the wrong time
F#
Headed on a bad trip with the wrong high
C#
I don’t really know why
F#
But you felt right to me
C#
I hadn’t had a good thing in a long time
F#
Moving in the fast lane with the wrong guy
C#
I don’t really know why
F#
But you felt right to me
Verse 3C#
Wrote this on a Sunday after months out on the road
F#
Wonder if you have regrets and which direction those thoughts go
C#
Like was it worth it in the end?
F#
Sometimes it feels like you just used me for my mind and innocence
C#
And now I heard you had a kid, finished a book and got a wife
F#
Things been good to you since that last goodbye
N.C.
But I just have to say my piece
You should have known don’t trust a poet
Cause we know how to speak
[Final ChorusC#
I’m always in the wrong place at the wrong time
F#
Headed on a bad trip with the wrong high
C#
I don’t really know why
F#
But you felt right to me
C#
I hadn’t had a good thing in a long time
F#
Moving in the fast lane with the wrong guy
C#
I don’t really know why
F#
But you felt right to me
C#
You felt right to me
F#
You felt right to me
C#F#
You felt right to me
