AThDere she goes again she says I'm her best friend
and "we're better off this way" she says
A   DGGG

Pictures He Drew
E B C# D
He got up this morning
Rolled out of bed
And went out to change the world
Her head on his shoulder
He settles her down
It all started over and over again
E(wB/eC#ffeDcts)
EHiBs mom made him breakfast
AGets on the bus Goes out to see the world
EHe BlAies on the ground, wipes blood from his nose
EWonders why he's the one that doesn't fit In
(chorus)
EThBe pictures he drew
ABuDt if only they told him
EYoBu're never gonna be like anyone
C#And Dthat's okay
EGive into your feelings
BDoAn'Dt give in to the ones that will own ya
ESoBmeC#timDes they just don't go away
(w/effects)
ESiBx Adouble martinis, a night on the town
It sure makes the mornings long
EHe BnAever imagined a life time like this would be
EThe only thing to let him get in Break down:
AHe Bgets up
EHe falls down
AWishes he could get the nerve to end it all now
AHe Bpicks up the phone
EAnd he slams it down
And swallows another
ANow he'll never come around
AItB's all or none
CIt's one for one
You can make it
DBut ya' gotta do it all for yourself
