[Intro]
 Am  G  Am G Csus4
[Pigeon John]
 AmI spent six months on the road
 Watching the trees through the window
 GSingin my songs to packed-in shows
 Girls fill the whole front row
 But it Amdon't mGean a Csus4thing... hmm-mmm-mm
 AmThe scene's insane on the low
 Bathroom stalls packed full of snow
 GAnything you want is yours on the go
 Suicide Girls at the do'
 But it Amdon't mGean a Csus4thing... if you're not hAmere
 ..If you're not hGere
 But it Amdon't mGean a Csus4thing... hmm-mmm-mm
 AmI'm in a brand new Cadillac
 The engine purrs, the paint spills black
 GRollin with homies who don't know how to act 
 and we all got our seats pushed back
 But, it Amdon't mGean a Csus4thing... if you're not hCere!
 [Chorus]
 This ain't another love songDm  
 I'm tryna figure out what's right or wrongAm  
 Before we're gone (before we're gone) oh-ohC  
 Let's stand outside of all regretDm  
 and share another cigaretteAm  
 Before we're gone... oh-oh
 [Pigeon John]
 AmUh, it seems the party never end
 Hundred dollar tab bills, so-called friends
 GThey promise and smile and laugh and pretend
 that they all wanna share this syringe
 But, it Amdon't mGean a Csus4thing... hmm-mmm-mm
 AmI sing this song from inside
 Behind the walls, behind all the pride
 GFor fear that I'll never realize
 that you are the prize 
And it Amdon't mGean a Csus4thing... if you're not hCere!
 [Chorus]
 Hey, this ain't another love songDm  
 I'm tryna figure out what's right or wrongAm  
 Before we're gone (before we're gone) oh-ohC  
 (Hey) let's stand outside of all regretDm  
 and share another cigaretteAm  
 Before we're gone... oh-ohC  
 You go ahead and reapply your Chap-stickDm  
 Me? I'm gonna take my last sipAm  
 Before we're gone... oh-ohC  
 You run ahead and call shotgunDm  
 I don't, and then you smile and say I'm not funAm  
 Before we're gone, before we're gone

[Intro]

Am G Am G Csus4

[Pigeon John]

I spent six months on the road

Watching the trees through the window

Singin my songs to packed-in shows

Girls fill the whole front row

Am G Csus4

But it don't mean a thing... hmm-mmm-mm

The scene's insane on the low

Bathroom stalls packed full of snow

Anything you want is yours on the go

Suicide Girls at the do'

Am G Csus4 Am

But it don't mean a thing... if you're not here

..If you're not here

Am G Csus4

But it don't mean a thing... hmm-mmm-mm

I'm in a brand new Cadillac

The engine purrs, the paint spills black

Rollin with homies who don't know how to act

and we all got our seats pushed back

Am G Csus4 C

But, it don't mean a thing... if you're not here!

[Chorus]

This ain't another love song

I'm tryna figure out what's right or wrong

Before we're gone (before we're gone) oh-oh

Let's stand outside of all regret

and share another cigarette

Before we're gone... oh-oh

[Pigeon John]

Uh, it seems the party never end

Hundred dollar tab bills, so-called friends

They promise and smile and laugh and pretend

that they all wanna share this syringe

Am G Csus4

But, it don't mean a thing... hmm-mmm-mm

I sing this song from inside

Behind the walls, behind all the pride

For fear that I'll never realize

that you are the prize

Am G Csus4 C

And it don't mean a thing... if you're not here!

[Chorus]

Hey, this ain't another love song

I'm tryna figure out what's right or wrong

Before we're gone (before we're gone) oh-oh

(Hey) let's stand outside of all regret

and share another cigarette

Before we're gone... oh-oh

You go ahead and reapply your Chap-stick

Me? I'm gonna take my last sip

Before we're gone... oh-oh

You run ahead and call shotgun

I don't, and then you smile and say I'm not fun

Before we're gone, before we're gone
