The Kill
DHe’s Still Afeeling like he’s 16
EAnd you’re chasiAng all of the same drink
DOnly AlEiving on the weekend nights
DThe card is empty
BAut the tab got paid
AEnd yoAu think it’s funny how some things change
DThere’s gAot to be Emore to life
DHe Acan’t stand knowing he’s dying
BTicEk tock timing
DHe feAels Ethe kill
DAnAd my goBd he’Ed love to know to why he’s dead inside
DCause Ahe Ejust can’t get each fill
DStill siAtting at the desk job
And you’rEe stiAll staring at the clock wall
DAnd now AyouE’re working for the weekend ride
DIt’s just Athe money it will change one day
EAs you’re stuck in trAaffic on the highway
DAnd knAow yEou’ve have said it for the thousandth time
DHe Acan’t stand knowing he’s dying
BTicEk tock timing
DHe feAels Ethe kill
DAnAd my goBd he’Ed love to know to why he’s dead inside
DCause Ahe Ejust can’t get each fill
Oh…
Ah… 
Nana…
Oh…
DWe Acan’t stand knowing we’re dying
BTicEk tock timing
DWe feAel Ethe kill
DAnAd my goBd we’Ed love to know to why wer’e dead inside
DCause Awe Ejust can’t get each fill

And now you’re working for the weekend ride
