[Verse 1]
DYou are no comedian, your scene is not a joGke
Dthe message left intact until you spoGke

Dtil you cracked the glass, snatched it and ran awGay
the kids in their Dbedrooms are screamiGng
we're old enough Dnow
      Ato reclaim a conscious Gclear
      Dwe have to start sAomehoDw
Elet tGhem be
the Bmsentiment Dis all but lost on all Gbut me
Ecause Gunknown
a Bmsense of losDs makes me feel leGss alone
[Chorus]
Adays are so muFmch better spent wadBming through seGas of disconteDnt yeaaah

Dthe time has come to come to terms with all the things you've dGone
Dthe guilt and anger you try and outGrun
Dspend your days having pillow talk with the bottle on your flGoor
