Tuning is a full step down
Verse:
I've been worDking longer hCours watching mGoney streaming Din
I've been truBmsting crooks Gand liars like AI don't have any friends
I've been finGding myself pAraying when I'm DdeepesAt in thBme sin
And reinventiGng happAiness Bmagain
I've been reiGnventinAg happDiness again
It's been paiDnful resolutCion set to jGubilant appDlause
It's been soaBmring highs and crGushing lows and griAnding in my jaw
It's been begGging for forAgiveness after lDaying Adown tBmhe law
It's like surGgery to get Athrough all the Bmflaws
It's like surGgery to get Athrough all the Dflaws
Chorus:
Will this oBmverture seem Ddull to all my Gfriends?
Will you loBmve me if I lDeave you here agGain?

DPour the drinks and we'll cEmause the dancing to starGt
Verse:
Yeahhhhh
I've been stanDding at a crosCsroads for what seGems like many dDays
If I gBmo will the hGouse fall down will I Aburn it if stay?
Will I be figGhting like a Acoward or ruDnning Alike a Bmbrave?
I'll be laughGing like a maAdman either Bmway
Oh I'll be laGughing like a Amadman eithDer way
Chorus:
