C5The end of the world makes me E5nervous
Because I, for F5one, have not founG5d God yet
Or C5someone to fall in E5love with
Rob a F5bank, shoot a cG5op with
[Chorus]
I watch C5this girl being E5choked
By a man she hardlF5y knows
In a room full of G5strangers
That probably don't know C5her name
The first time I had E5sex
It was with a stranger in F5a bathroom
My friends were G5right
Since that day, it felt the F5same
I want to go G5back to when I C5laughed
At things I thought were F5funnyG5

I like running when it'C5s dark out
And the E5people in the cars drive F5fast
Cause they went to geG5t home
Their high beams C5blind me
It remE5inds me just bad F5timing
And reasons I'm G5alone
[Chorus]
I watch C5this girl being E5choked
By a man she hardlF5y knows
In a room full of G5strangers
That probably don't know C5her name
The first time I had E5sex
It was in a bathroom with a F5stranger
My friends were G5right
Since that day, it felt the F5same
I want to go G5back to when I C5laughed
At things I thought were F5funny
At G5things I thought

[Verse 1]

C5 E5

The end of the world makes me nervous

F5 G5

Because I, for one, have not found God yet

C5 E5

Or someone to fall in love with

F5 G5

Rob a bank, shoot a cop with

[Chorus]

C5 E5

I watch this girl being choked

By a man she hardly knows

In a room full of strangers

That probably don't know her name

The first time I had sex

It was with a stranger in a bathroom

My friends were right

Since that day, it felt the same

G5 C5

I want to go back to when I laughed

F5 G5

At things I thought were funny

[Instrumental]

C5 E5 F5 G5

(2x)

[Verse 2]

I like running when it's dark out

E5 F5

And the people in the cars drive fast

Cause they went to get home

Their high beams blind me

E5 F5

It reminds me just bad timing

And reasons I'm alone

[Chorus]

C5 E5

I watch this girl being choked

By a man she hardly knows

In a room full of strangers

That probably don't know her name

The first time I had sex

It was in a bathroom with a stranger

My friends were right

Since that day, it felt the same

G5 C5

I want to go back to when I laughed

At things I thought were funny

At things I thought

[Instrumental]

C5 E5 F5 G5

(2x)

And it goes

At my funeral, don't lie

At my funeral, don't lie

I didn't want to die

At my funeral, don't lie

At my funeral

My funeral, don't lie
