[Intro]
 E   Esus4   Ex2
[Verse]
E“Pull out your clothes
You’re Esus4made for something Especial.”
If Athat’s what it takes to get you out of bed
Db5You think you’re Emeant for CalifAornia
But Ethat’s just in your head
[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E
EI saw you Esus4howling at the stEreet lights
APressed against the skin you want to shed
Db5You tore down Eall the walls fAor answers
And found this shit instead
[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E
[Chorus]
Db5You and I rAemember in dEistinctly different ways
How we Db5realized that we Asimply don’t Ebelong
Like a Db5cast of shallow cAharacters perfoErming on a stage
Our Gbmfinal bow before the curtaAin comes
EThrow up your hands like Esus4everyone’s Eoffensive
AGive up to God if that’s your cup of tea
Db5Once everyEbody else Aaround you
Is bitter just like EmeEsus4  E  
EDon’t let the Esus4poison that surrEounds you
AStifle out the life you want to live
Db5Please know it Etruly doesn’t Amatter
And truly never did
[Instrumental]
E  Esus4  E
[Chorus]
You and I Db5have woken upA  
With hollow cEopies of our names
With your sDb5cripted and Adirected set of lEines
Like a Db5cast of shallow cAharacters perfoErming on a stage
GbmYou know we’ll soon be fading from their Aminds
You and Db5I, we both rAemember in dEistinctly different ways
How we Db5realized that we Asimply don’t Ebelong
Like a Db5cast of shallow cAharacters perfoErming on a stage
Our Gbmfinal bow before the curtaAin comes
Our Gbmfinal bow before the curtaiAn comes
Before the curtain Ecomes…

Throw up your hands like everyone’s offensive

Give up to God if that’s your cup of tea
