[Verse 1]
(Mute your strums a little, and lift them up a little as you get closer to 
each chord change; It's like a slight crescendo on each line)
GBack in school they never taught us what we needed to Dknow,
like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your Cheart.
For twelve years I've held it all together but a Dnight like this is Cbegging 
to pull me Gapart.
I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation.
I Dfelt uncool and hung out around the kitchen.
I Cremember I kept thinking that I know you never would,
and now I Dknow I want to kill you like Conly a best friend could.
[Chorus 1]
GEveryone's caught on to eCverything you do
GEveryone's caught on Cto.
[Verse 2]
(Same thing as Verse 1, slight crescendos)
GAs if this happening wasn't enough I got to Dgo
and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked.
CIgnore the sun, the cover's over my head.
I wrote a Dmessage on my pillow that says, "CJesse, stay asleep in bed."
GSo don't apologize. I hope you choke and Ddie.
Search your cell for something with which to hang yourself.
CThey say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
but they don't Dtell you what to say when your wChole life has gone to hell.
[Chorus 2]
GEveryone's caught on to Ceverything you do
GEveryone's caught on Cto
And Geveryone's caught on to Ceverything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again.)
GEveryone's caught on Cto (And I can't let you, let me down again)

(Still pretty chill, Whole strums)
So, is tGhat what you call a getaway?
EmTell me what you got away with.
Cause I've sDeen more spine in jellyfish.G  
I've Cseen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
GHave another drink and drive yourself home.
EmI hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can Dthink of me when you forget your seatbelt,
Gand agCain when your head goes through the windshield.
[Bridge Pt. 2]
(Goes to Arpeggios here, and they lose the funny vocal affect)
And is tGhat what you call tact?
You're as Emsubtle as a brick in the small of my back.
So let's Dend this call, and end this cGonversCsus2ation.
and is Gthat what you call a getaway?
Emwell tell me what you got away with.
cause you Dleft the frays from the ties you severed 
Gwhen you Csus2say best friends means friends forever

[Verse 1]

(Mute your strums a little, and lift them up a little as you get closer to

each chord change; It's like a slight crescendo on each line)

G D

Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know,

like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart.

D C

For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is begging

to pull me apart.

I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation.

I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen.

I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would,

D C

and now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could.

[Chorus 1]

G C

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

G C

Everyone's caught on to.

[Verse 2]

(Same thing as Verse 1, slight crescendos)

G D

As if this happening wasn't enough I got to go

and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked.

Ignore the sun, the cover's over my head.

D C

I wrote a message on my pillow that says, "Jesse, stay asleep in bed."

G D

So don't apologize. I hope you choke and die.

Search your cell for something with which to hang yourself.

They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven

D C

but they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.

[Chorus 2]

G C

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

G C

Everyone's caught on to

G C

And everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again.)

G C

Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you, let me down again)

[Interlude]

(Still pretty chill, Whole strums)

So, is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with.

D G

Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.

I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.

Have another drink and drive yourself home.

I hope there's ice on all the roads.

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,

G C

and again when your head goes through the windshield.

[Bridge Pt. 2]

(Goes to Arpeggios here, and they lose the funny vocal affect)

And is that what you call tact?

You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back.

D G Csus2

So let's end this call, and end this conversation.

and is that what you call a getaway?

well tell me what you got away with.

cause you left the frays from the ties you severed

G Csus2

when you say best friends means friends forever

[Bridge pt. 3]
