[Intro] 
Em  Em
[Verse]
If I'm a joker and a Emfool tonight
If I'm a shadow at the Ambar
No one would listen anCyway
So I'll compF#lain and wBhine out loud
Oh, hold me closer, hold me Emtight someone
I wanna dance and hit the gAmround
Pour me that spirit 'til I Cstart a fight
And Blose a Emthousand rounds
[Chorus]
I wanna mess arGound
I wanna lose it Dall at once
If I can make the Emworst mistakes
The CdeDvil ever made
I wanna mess arGound
I wanna lose it Dall at once
If I could make my Emlife a hell
I'd Cfeel Dalive somehow
It only takes a CnighDtEm  
It only takes a CnighDtG  
Em   Em
[Verse]
I'm in a comfortable disgEmrace tonight
In fact a pain of great deAmlight
Isn't it funny how the Cwind can turn
With F#people Bof your kind
Ooh, I'm devastated just like Emeveryone
But everyone enjoys mAme much
I'm afraid I've never felt as Cgood as now
Is tBhere's Emmy best lie?
[Chorus]
I wanna mess aGround
I wanna lose it Dall at once
If I can make the Emworst mistakes
The CdeDvil ever made
I wanna mess arGound
I wanna lose it Dall at once
If I could make my lEmife a hell
I'd Cfeel Dalive somehow
It only takes a CnighDtEm  
It only takes a CnighDtG  
It only takes one CnigDhtG  
To make everything CrighDt.G
