Intro: E  B  A

E                    B A
Do you need a change,

like a new pair of running shoes?
          C#m
To make a quick escape
         B                 A
before this place fucking kills you.
 B       E
We're all hypocrites and half-assed liars.
A
 Lonely freaks with hearts on fire.
 B                  A             E
Burns so bright we had to hide behind our daily lives.

            A            E
'Cause you toss and turn every night
              A
to make it through the day,
     E         B              A
but something just ain't right
               E             B
as you try to balance on the edge of living.
 A                E
Right and wrong blur to gray.
  A                 E       B         A
Start the day with nothing good to say.
                     E
Never thought you'd be this way.
     B
So scared of growing...
A               E      A
old friend, hold on...

( E  B  A )

E                     B A
 Do you need a break?

Slow down that manic pace.
             C#m
That you're fucking bleeding
       B                  A
don't make you feel much better.
  B       E
From these shitty jobs and moldy houses
A
 broken bones and overdoses.
     B               A               E
The fact that we survived at all is kind of a surprise.

            A            E
'Cause you toss and turn every night
              A
to make it through the day,
     E         B              A
but something just ain't right
               E             B
as you try to balance on the edge of living.
 A                E
Right and wrong blur to gray.
  A                 E       B         A
Start the day with nothing good to say.
                     E
Never thought you'd be this way.
     B
So scared of growing...
Scared of growing!
Scared of growing!

A               E
Old friend, hold on...
    A                 E
If not, then end to this song.
A               E
old friend, stay strong.
       A                E
Take what you need and move on.

A               E
Old friend, hold on...
    A                 E
If not, then end to this song.
A               E
old friend, stay strong.
       A                E
Take what you need and move on.
