Everclear tune a whole step down nowadays (DGCFAD),
but if you just want to play in standard,
transpose down two semitones so the first chord reads "G".
[Chorus]
AWe burn out in the dark
DWe are invisible stars
F#mWe are a question mark
Be cDareful what you ask for
AWe are broken glass
DWe never had a chance
F#mWe want what we don't have
Be cDareful what you ask for
AWe will never die
DPut your hope in the F#msky
F#mTo burn a perfect light
Be cDareful what you ask for
[Verse]
AI'm sorry we are lDiving in the car
This F#misn't what you wanted when you gDave me your heart
AI'm sorry I got lDazy in need
This F#misn't what you wanted when you mDarried me
ALife looks better when you wDaste away the day
F#mLife looks better when you mDake it all a game
ALife looks better when you dDrink away the pain
F#mLife looks better when you lEook away
[Chorus]
AWe burn out in the dark
DWe are invisible stars
F#mWe are a question mark
Be cDareful what you ask for
AWe are broken glass
DWe never had a chance
F#mWe want what we don't have
Be cDareful what you ask for
AWe will never die
DPut your hope in the F#msky
F#mTo burn a perfect light
Be cDareful what you ask for
[Verse]
AI know you get mDad at me
When your cF#mard gets denied at the mDarket down the street
AI know that you wDanna leave
Yeah, this iF#msn't what you wanted when you married me
ALife looks better when you wDaste away the day
F#mLife looks better when you mDake it all a game
ALife looks better when you dDrink away the pain
F#mLife looks better when you lEook away
[Chorus]
AWe burn out in the dark
DWe are invisible stars
F#mWe are a question mark
Be cDareful what you ask for
AWe are broken glass
DWe never had a chance
F#mWe want what we don't have
Be cDareful what you ask for
[Bridge]
BmYou wanna belDieve
The world can be perfAect
That anyone A/G#can be redeemedBm  
That good is always bDetter than bad
That's where it all goes bAad
F#mJust when you think that everytAhing is gonna be alrF#might
That's where it all goes bAad
F#mJust when you think that everytAhing is gonna be alrF#might
That's where it all goes bAad

Be cDareful what you ask forA  
[Outro]
