Where did we go wrong?

Wanna get the fuck out this lonely town

Where will you be when I go insane?

I don't give a fuck, it all feels the same

[Verse 1]

By now, I should be in LA

Wasting my time chasing better days

But I know way too many things to stay

Alone, at loss for words, but still

C D Em7 Bm7

I've won and I've lost but I've fell and I've fucked it up

I've won and I've lost but I've fell and I've fucked it up

Laying in bed with my headphones on

Chasing our ride in the pouring rain

Staying up late just to walk you home

Clinging to me like it's all you know

[Chorus]

What do you desire? (Hold me down when I fall apart)

(Hold me down when I fall apart)

Caught between hits of your cigarette

Alone, at loss for words, but still

I've won and I've lost but I've fell and I've fucked it up

I've won and I've lost but I've fell and I've fucked it up

[Bridge]

C D

But damn, you look good in your photographs

Em7 Bm7

Breaking my heart every time you laugh

C D

All of these shots poured down the drain

Em7 Bm7

I tried, but it tastes like Novocaine

C D

Now that you're free, do you feel alright

Em7 Bm7

Downing these shots with another guy

C D

I know you've moved on, just know that I'm trying

Em7 Bm7 C D Em7 Bm7

Anything it takes to feel alright

[Instrumental]

C D

[Outro]

Em7 Bm7 C D Em7

For you, yeah I've heard it all and made mistakes

Bm7 C

Chased my days with Novocaine

In the end you'll understand

(For you)
