This is a cover of Lorde's song, however some lyrics are different.
Capo 4
[Verse 1]
  CEvery night, I live and die
Feel the party to my Embones
Watch the wasters blow the speakers, spill my guts beneath the Amoutdoor light
It's Gjust another graceless night
  CI hate the headlines and the weather
I'm nineteen and I'm on Emfire
But when we're dancing, I'm alAmright
It's Gjust another graceless night
Are you Flost enough?
Have another drink, get Amlost in us
This is how we get noGtorious, ah ah oh
'Cause FI don't know
If they keep tellin' you Amwhere to go
I'll blow my brains out to the Gradio, ah ah oh oh
[Chorus]
  FAll of the Amthings we're taking
 F'Cause we are Cyoung and Gwe're aFshamed
  Sends us to Amperfect placesG  
  FAll of our Amheroes fading
  FNow I can't Cstand to Gbe aFlone
  Let's go to Amperfect placesG  
[Verse 2]
  CEvery night, I live and die
Meet somebody, take 'em Emhome
Let's kiss and then take off our Amclothes
It's Gjust another graceless night, 'cause
[Chorus]
  FAll of the Amthings we're taking
 F'Cause we are Cyoung and Gwe're aFshamed
  Sends us to Amperfect placesG  
  FAll of our Amheroes fading
  FNow I can't Cstand to Gbe aFlone
  Let's go to Amperfect placesG

  FWhat the hell are Amperfect places Ganyway?
  FAll the nights spent Coff our Gfaces
  FTrying to find these Cperfect Gplaces

Every night, I live and die

Feel the party to my bones

Watch the wasters blow the speakers, spill my guts beneath the outdoor light

It's just another graceless night

I hate the headlines and the weather

I'm nineteen and I'm on fire

But when we're dancing, I'm alright

It's just another graceless night

Are you lost enough?

Have another drink, get lost in us

This is how we get notorious, ah ah oh

'Cause I don't know

If they keep tellin' you where to go

I'll blow my brains out to the radio, ah ah oh oh
