G                         A
She turned to me and she whispered,
C                                  G           
“hey man you don’t know where it’s at”
G                           A
I stared at her until I figured 
C                         G
That she wasn't staring back
G                     A  
Another tale for the epic
C                          G
Rejection in the starring role
G                         A
A vixen cast among the shadows
            C                              G
Where empty coffee cups as bitter as your soul

Why, why, why
C                                G
Why, why, why must things be so hard?
C
Why, why, why
C                         G   D
Why, why, why can’t it be easy?

If I feel like a rockstar with nowhere to perform 
D                  Am
Will you stroke my ego
           Em         D
‘Til that feeling is gone?
C
I don’t see the glass half empty
          G
Cause I filled it to the brim
D     
And I’ll drink it down
Am
Gulp by gulp
         Em           D
‘Til the devil calls again
C                G
Devil calls me again
         C           G
If the devil calls again
D                C
Tell him I’m not in
D               G
Tell him I’m not in


[VERSE 2]
G                                 A
And the boring day is run like clockwork
C                         G
And I never know what they mean
G                      A
But it must be hard to live
           C                              G
Under the weights and wills of a frozen dream
G                              A
So let’s get fucked up and be happy
    C                                  G       
And run around the streets without our clothes
G                      A
Laughing harder at the joy
C                   G
That they’ll never know
