This is my first chord contribution, hope this helps.
Standard tuning: EADGBe
Intro: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)
WokFe up on the cold bathrooCm floor
DmWorldly-wise; you were yoBbung, you were bored 
With a sFcar from the night beCfore
Etched frDmesh on your chest
But that's pBbar for the course these days
Instrumental: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)
When she caFlled you up out of the bClue
You felt sDmick for a bit but that paBbssed and you knew
That grFowing up happened too fCast
You can't remDmember last summer
Or the wBbay that she laughed
Well you cDman't remember mBbuch at all anFymore
Instrumental: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)
On a nFight filled with stuttering sCtars
You oDmnce watched the skies 
From your bBbeat up old car
FParked at the side of the rCoad
DmGuided by voices from the Bbradio
Well you're fFeeling down so you mighCt go out
And Dmif you get lucky you migBbht fool around
With some gFirl in some roCom
While the rDmoots you put down
Are still strBbaining to move
And you'll Dmleave before the mBborning lights your shaFme
You're cyDmnical and you've Bbonly got yourself to blaFme
F, C, Dm, Bb

Standard tuning: EADGBe

Intro: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)

F C

Woke up on the cold bathroom floor

Dm Bb

Worldly-wise; you were young, you were bored

F C

With a scar from the night before

Etched fresh on your chest

But that's par for the course these days

Instrumental: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)

F C

When she called you up out of the blue

Dm Bb

You felt sick for a bit but that passed and you knew

F C

That growing up happened too fast

You can't remember last summer

Or the way that she laughed

Dm Bb F

Well you can't remember much at all anymore

Instrumental: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)

F C

On a night filled with stuttering stars

You once watched the skies

From your beat up old car

F C

Parked at the side of the road

Dm Bb

Guided by voices from the radio

F C

Well you're feeling down so you might go out

Dm Bb

And if you get lucky you might fool around

F C

With some girl in some room

While the roots you put down

Are still straining to move

Dm Bb F

And you'll leave before the morning lights your shame

Dm Bb F

You're cynical and you've only got yourself to blame

F, C, Dm, Bb
