[Intro]
D F# E D B F#m A
[Verse]
DWe woke up sweating and grinning
F#mWe gotta kick it while the Eworlds still spinning
DWe don't even know about thBme night before
We F#mput on purple raincoats and then we walked out the door
DWe're so numb
Pretending that we still feel
F#Took one pill now thinking were the real dealD  
Now we'll be Bup for days
We're just a F#mbuck and change
But then we'll go the long waAy
DIt's like we're working just to waste the funds on
F#mSomething that'll burn the lungs and get us Dthrough the week
BmWhile we half asleep and trying to F#mmake a face fit in that magazine
DWere lying on the basement floor and F#no body wanna leave to Eget up and get more
[Pre-Chorus]
DWe should leave it alone Bmleave it alone
F#mWe should leave it alone leave it aloneBm  
[Chorus]
And we Dstill waitedG  
BmWe Dcan't take Gmore than you'll ever knowBm  
We still Gwaited
Death I Bmdare you to Dcome my Gway
[Instrumental]
D F#m D Bm F#m
[Verse]
DIt's five am wondering where F#time went
The conversation trying to make a new friend
DWhose trying to take a Bchance at life
F#Sit back take turns and we can roll the dice
DJust leave it all on the basement floor
F#Ain't no body wanna leave to get up and get more
[Pre-Chorus]
DWe should leave it alone Bmleave it alone
F#mWe should leave it alone leave it aloneBm  
[Chorus]

We are Gstill waiting
Death I Bmdare you to Dcome my Gway
Death I Bmdare you to Dcome my Gway
[Bridge]
GOur hearts beat with the Dwaves
We're calling Gdown acid Bmrain
Darling would you stay awake so we can do it again
GWe are as low as the ground
A mountain high as the clouds
BmAnd if we reach to the top
Well they can watch us make the Astars all Gdissolve
We got the world within our palms
Imma let em Bknow
BmImma let em know
That this is Aall for us to Gtake until we give our lives away
Imma let em Bmknow
Imma let em knowBm  
[Chorus]
We still Gwaited
BmWe can't Gtake more than you'll ever knowBm  
We still Gwaited
Death I Bmdare you to Dcome my Gway
