F# B D#m B
[Verse]
F#Stuck in the jet wash
Bad trBip I couldn't get off
And maybe I D#mbit off more than I could chew
And overBhead of the aqua blue
Fall to your knF#ees bring on the rapture
Blessed be the bBoys time can't capture
On fiD#mlm or between the sheets
I always fall from your wBindow to the pitch black streets
And with the bBlack banners raised
As the cD#mrooked smiles fade
BFormer heroes who qD#muit too late
BJust wanna fill up the tD#mrophy case aC#gain
[Chorus]
And in the eF#nd, I'd do it all agBain
I think you're my best frD#miend
Don't you know that the kBids aren't all, kids aren't alright
I'll be yF#ours, when it rains it pBours
Stay thirsty like befD#more
Don't you know that the kBids aren't all, kids aren't alright
[Verse]
I'm not paF#ssive but aggressive
Take noBte, it's not impressive
Empty your sD#madness like you're dumping your purse
On my bedroom flBoor, we put your curse in reverse
And it's oF#ur time now if you want to to be
Maul the wBorld like a carnival bear set free
And your D#mlove is anemic and I can't believe
That yBou couldn't see it coming from me
And BI still feel that D#mrush in my veins
It tBwists my head just a bD#mit too thin
All those peBople in those old photogD#mraphs I've seen are dC#ead

[Intro]

F# B D#m B

[Verse]

Stuck in the jet wash

Bad trip I couldn't get off

D#m

And maybe I bit off more than I could chew

And overhead of the aqua blue

Fall to your knees bring on the rapture

Blessed be the boys time can't capture

D#m

On film or between the sheets

I always fall from your window to the pitch black streets

And with the black banners raised

D#m

As the crooked smiles fade

B D#m

Former heroes who quit too late

B D#m C#

Just wanna fill up the trophy case again

[Chorus]

F# B

And in the end, I'd do it all again

I'll be yours, when it rains it pours

D#m

Stay thirsty like before

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

[Verse]

I'm not passive but aggressive

Take note, it's not impressive

D#m

Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse

On my bedroom floor, we put your curse in reverse

And it's our time now if you want to to be

Maul the world like a carnival bear set free

D#m

And your love is anemic and I can't believe

That you couldn't see it coming from me

B D#m

And I still feel that rush in my veins

B D#m

It twists my head just a bit too thin

B D#m C#

All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead

[Chorus]

And in the end, I'd do it all again

I think you're my best friend

And let your dirty sadness fill me up, just like a balloon

And in the end, I'd do it all again

D#m

I think you're my best friend

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

I'll be yours, when it rains it pours

Stay thirsty like before

Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
