You'll have to know the rythm of the song. You'll get it with some time and help from
baked cookies your mom made. Obviously this is not 100%, But if you just want to have
some fun playing along, here it goes. Chords:(You are saying "Hey those are not the

Intro:
C G C G <--(Continue into verse)
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
(C) (F7)(C) (G)
At trust and love and hope
(C) (F7)(C)(G)
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
# G
and never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
(Play riff and come back in with 'G')
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
(C) (F7) (C) (G)
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
# G
But we never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me
That's it, so if you have something to add, let me know. Peace.
