Off of Happy Birthday, Dad.
Every chord is palm-muted up until "and I know that you're hurt".
G5I'm on the outside, B5let me in your insides
F#5I am the back porch, B5you are the new guy
G5She is the back pains B5that make the friendship F#5dieB5  
I am a G5liar, a joker, a B5king, and a thief
And F#5people will hate me, they B5mock how I think
And is the G5road that is easy the B5one I should take?
The F#5road that is easy is the B5one that will break
And I'm a G5liar, a joker, a B5king, and a thief
And F#5people will hate me, they B5mock how I think
And is the G5road that is easy the B5one I should take?
The F#5road that is easy is the B5one that will break
I'm like a G5fox, but I don't hunt at A5night
Everybody's D5sleeping, but darling that's alB5right
And when the fall leaves G5fall think of all the A5calls that you'll never have to D5makeB5  
And when the G5fall leaves fall think of A5all the calls that yoD5u'll never have to mB5ake
And it's the G5friends of friends who just A5go to bed and wD5e all just stay up lB5ate
And when the G5fall leaves fall think of A5all the calls that yoD5u'll never have to mB5ake
And it's the G5friends of friends who just A5go to bed and wD5e all just stay up lB5ate
And I kG5now that you're hA5urt
