A great song from their first release I Hate My Friends. If you want to play this song like Brian Sella does,
then use two string power chords. 
[Intro]
DSqueeze, Bmsqueeze, squeeze!
[Verse 1]
Squeeze my Darms a little tighter
Let me F#mknow I'm still alive
Cause you're the Bmonly one here keeping both my Aeyes open tonight
And I Dknow that we got problems
Who are F#mthey to criticize
If I Bmtell you all my secrets would you Atell me all your lies
And when I Dstop writing her letters
I want her to F#mknow that it's because
I have Bmsomeone that makes me feel the same eAxact way that she does
And I will Dnot deny the privilege to someone F#melse who wants my love
I have Bmstitched a mask of confidence and I'll Awear it like a glove 
[Chorus]
And a Gman that knows what he's talking, Emspoke to me today
He said that nGo ones going to listen until you mean Emevery word you say
So if Gyou can't find the feeling, you Embetter learn to lie
And if you Gknow we're gonna fail, then there's no Empoint to even try
No point to tryD, no point F#mtry, no point to Bmtry, no point to Atry
[Verse 2]
DI don't get it for real, this is F#mblowing my mind
We keep Bmsaying we're unhappy and they keep Asaying that we're fine
I guess Dpain will be the only thing I eF#mver get to bring
But I will Bmsend it through the air like a loosely Agripped baseball bat swing
All I ever Dwanted was something different, maybe F#mby another name
We could Bmset ourselves on fire, there is Acleansing in the flame
[Chorus]
GSo keep clapping and dancing
Let them Emknow you're still alive and if you're Gtired of giving up
At least make them Emthink that you survived
So keep Glaughing, its not funny but at Emleast you don't have to cry
When you Gwake up in the morning and you Emknow you're still alive
You're still Dalive, you know you're still F#alive
You're still Bmalive, you know you're Astill alive
[Bridge]
Until we Dbreak down, til we Ashut down
Until the Dweight of our lifeless bodies hit the Aground
Until we Dbreak down, til we Ashut down
Until the Dweight of our lifeless bodies hit the Aground
Until we Dbreak down, til we Ashut down
Until the Dweight of our lifeless bodies hit the Aground
[Chorus]
And a Gman that knows what he's talking, Emspoke to me today
He said that Gno ones going to listen until you mean Emevery word you say
So if Gyou can't find the feeling, you beEmtter learn to lie
And if you Gknow we're gonna fail, then there's little Empoint to even try
Little point to Gtry

D Bm

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!

[Verse 1]

Squeeze my arms a little tighter

F#m

Let me know I'm still alive

Bm A

Cause you're the only one here keeping both my eyes open tonight

And I know that we got problems

F#m

Who are they to criticize

Bm A

If I tell you all my secrets would you tell me all your lies

And when I stop writing her letters

F#m

I want her to know that it's because

Bm A

I have someone that makes me feel the same exact way that she does

D F#m

And I will not deny the privilege to someone else who wants my love

Bm A

I have stitched a mask of confidence and I'll wear it like a glove

[Chorus]

G Em

And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today

G Em

He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say

G Em

So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie

No point to try, no point try, no point to try, no point to try

[Verse 2]

I guess pain will be the only thing I ever get to bring

Bm A

But I will send it through the air like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing

All I ever wanted was something different, maybe by another name

Bm A

We could set ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame

[Chorus]

So keep clapping and dancing

Em G

Let them know you're still alive and if you're tired of giving up

At least make them think that you survived

So keep laughing, its not funny but at least you don't have to cry

G Em

When you wake up in the morning and you know you're still alive

D F#

You're still alive, you know you're still alive

You're still alive, you know you're still alive

[Bridge]

Until we break down, til we shut down

Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

D A

Until we break down, til we shut down

D A

Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

[Chorus]

G Em

And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today

G Em

He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say

G Em

So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie

And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to even try
