GYou almost always pick the best times
to drop the Emworst lines
you almost made me cry again this Cadd9time
another false alaDrm
red flashing lights
well Gthis time I'm not going to watch myself die
[Verse 2]
GI think I made it a game to play your game
and let myseEmlf cry
I buried myself alive on the insCadd9ide
so I could shut you ouDt
and let you go away for a Glong time
[Chorus]
GI guess it's ok I puked the day away
EmI guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own wCadd9ay
and if you want me bacDk
you're gonna have to askG  
[Verse 3]
GI think the chain broke away
and I felt it the day that I had my Emown time
I took advantage of myself and felt fiCadd9ne
but it was worth the nighDt
I caught an early flight and I Gmade it home

[Intro]

G Em Cadd9 D

[Verse 1]

You almost always pick the best times

to drop the worst lines

Cadd9

you almost made me cry again this time

another false alarm

red flashing lights

well this time I'm not going to watch myself die

[Verse 2]

I think I made it a game to play your game

and let myself cry

Cadd9

I buried myself alive on the inside

so I could shut you out

and let you go away for a long time

[Chorus]

I guess it's ok I puked the day away

Em Cadd9

I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way

and if you want me back

you're gonna have to ask

[Verse 3]

I think the chain broke away

and I felt it the day that I had my own time

Cadd9

I took advantage of myself and felt fine

but it was worth the night

I caught an early flight and I made it home

[Chorus]

I guess it's ok I puked the day away

Em Cadd9

I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way

and if you want me back

you're gonna have to ask

Em D Cadd9

nicer than that

Em D Cadd9

nicer than that

[Break]

Cadd9

Cadd9 Em

with my foot on your neck

G Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9

I finally have you

D Em G Cadd9

right where I want you

D Em G Cadd9

right where I want you

D Em G Cadd9

right where I want you

D Em D Cadd9 D G

right where I want you

[Chorus]

I guess it's ok I puked the day away

Em Cadd9

I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way (your own way)

and if you want me back

you're gonna have to ask

nicer than that (I guess it's ok I puked the day away)

nicer than that (I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way)

Cadd9 D

and if you want me back

you're gonna have to ask

nicer than that

nicer
