Capo 4
So occasionally when you transition between the G and the Em7 you'll want to to do this hammer on lick on the
E string (not every time though. Occasionally you may want to use the Bm7 as a passing chord instead)

[Verse 1]
GCaught me shoegazing like some lo-fi band,
A desperate beer in each one of my hands,
I’ll Am7dance the night awD7ay to prove it wGas great.
GTen minutes later, repetitive lines,
Valencia filters are passing the time, and
the Am7photo’s flash has mD7ade my eyes
ApBm7pear to be the ghoE7stly kind
but I’ve Gsunk into music just like the dead sea
I try and go further till buoyancy floats Am7me,
semi sobrD7iety,
an Gunconscious mess I guess Em7I’ll never be
[Chorus]
That’s fAm7ine, I’ll pop D7sugar pills all Gnight
All Em7night, all Am7night, I’ll pop D7sugar pills all Gnight
I Am7can’t see a thing in the hD7aze around me
I’m Gstill having fun 'cause I kEm7now I should be
Am7When will I stop being sD7uch a dumb kid and go
wherB7ever real life iEm7s?
But Am7why would I lD7ie when I said that I Gwon’E7t?
I Am7know that I am damned if I D7do or if I Gdon’E7t.
That’s fAm7ine, as I’ll pop D7sugar pills all Gnight,
all Em7night, all Am7night,
placebo-D7ing on Friday nGight
[Verse 2]
GI’m just a weed growing out of the wall -
it’s an obvious secret that’s kept by us all
toAm7night, but this will D7die with me,
I’ll Gbury it deep in my bE7roken phone screen
alAm7right, till the D7backlight kills my Gsight
But Gtell me that funny things don’t go away
and just promise we’ll keep being stupid all day
So Am7hey, who needs life D7anyway?
Let’s sGtay immature and let's E7not ever stray
[Chorus]
All Am7right, let’s pop D7sugar pills all Gnight
All Em7right, all Am7right, let’s pop D7sugar pills all Gnight
I Am7can’t see a thing in the hD7aze around me
I’m Gstill having fun 'cause I kEm7now I should be
Am7When will I stop being sD7uch a dumb kid and go
wherB7ever real life iEm7s?
But Am7why would I lD7ie when I said that I Gwon’E7t?
I Am7know that I am damned if I D7do or if I Gdon’E7t.
And that’s Am7fine, as I’ll pop D7sugar pills all Gnight,
all Em7night, all Cnight, all Cm7right
plaCcebo-ing on FridCm7ay night

[Intro]

Am7 D7 G Em7

Am7 D7 G

[Verse 1]

Caught me shoegazing like some lo-fi band,

A desperate beer in each one of my hands,

Am7 D7 G

I’ll dance the night away to prove it was great.

Ten minutes later, repetitive lines,

Valencia filters are passing the time, and

Am7 D7

the photo’s flash has made my eyes

Bm7 E7

Appear to be the ghostly kind

but I’ve sunk into music just like the dead sea

Am7

I try and go further till buoyancy floats me,

semi sobriety,

G Em7

an unconscious mess I guess I’ll never be

[Chorus]

Am7 D7 G

That’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night

Em7 Am7 D7 G

All night, all night, I’ll pop sugar pills all night

Am7 D7

I can’t see a thing in the haze around me

G Em7

I’m still having fun 'cause I know I should be

Am7 D7

When will I stop being such a dumb kid and go

B7 Em7

wherever real life is?

Am7 D7 G E7

But why would I lie when I said that I won’t?

Am7 D7 G E7

I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t.

Am7 D7 G

That’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night,

Em7 Am7

all night, all night,

D7 G

placebo-ing on Friday night

[Verse 2]

I’m just a weed growing out of the wall -

it’s an obvious secret that’s kept by us all

Am7 D7

tonight, but this will die with me,

G E7

I’ll bury it deep in my broken phone screen

Am7 D7 G

alright, till the backlight kills my sight

But tell me that funny things don’t go away

and just promise we’ll keep being stupid all day

Am7 D7

So hey, who needs life anyway?

G E7

Let’s stay immature and let's not ever stray

[Chorus]

Am7 D7 G

All right, let’s pop sugar pills all night

Em7 Am7 D7 G

All right, all right, let’s pop sugar pills all night

Am7 D7

I can’t see a thing in the haze around me

G Em7

I’m still having fun 'cause I know I should be

Am7 D7

When will I stop being such a dumb kid and go

B7 Em7

wherever real life is?

Am7 D7 G E7

But why would I lie when I said that I won’t?

Am7 D7 G E7

I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t.

Am7 D7 G

And that’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night,

Em7 C Cm7

all night, all night, all right
