[Verse]
CI see a choir coming down the hillG  
They're singing devil sAmongs
I lFove a twisted melodCy
CThey don't ask but still they come aroundG  
They're sweeter than I waFnted
I dCon't want you to ruin it
[Pre-Chorus]
They had eDmyes like a backward suAmnset, a golden curFve
They gave me arDmmbands made of coAmncrete
I have to sFwim, I have to sCwim
[Chorus]
'Cause you were not riCght
You were just riFghteous
With a frGiend as good as you who needs enemiesAm?
I guess we Amall mGake mEmistakFes
[Verse]
CI took a road I didn't recognizeG  
And waited for a cAmall to
FHelp me get her stabilizedC  
I nursed hFer and then she came aroCundG  
I prefer her conFscious
Than dreams within a dreamC  
[Pre-Chorus]
Her eDmyes were described as dAmeep set cigarette buFrns
Please kDmeep me in the right coAmntext
I have to learnF, I have to learCn
[Chorus]
'Cause you were not riCght
You were just riFghteous
With a frGiend as good as you who needs enemiesAm?
Was it that bCad? (Let me tell you 'bout the truth in us)
Am I really that vFenomous? (Let me tell you 'bout the world)
With a frGiend as good as you who needs enemAmies?
I guess we Amall mGake mEmistakFes
