[Verse 1]
EI can see the mystery of you and me will never quite add C#mup
ANo one is your perfect fit
I C#mdo not believe in that shit
ADon't you know that every bubble bBursts
Kill me
EI'm aware you can't repair a light bulb
What's your dart board hC#mistory
It's Anot a phase
The doughnut glaze
Will C#mrot your teeth
And leave you crazed
Time Ato drag your dead heels in the diBrt
[Chorus]
AIt just might hEurt
AIt just might hEurt
C#mYou've seen the acF#tion that coAmes in the fElood
C#mThe wait now is ovF#er
You're sAtuck in the Emud
D  A  E
[Verse 2]
EI was made to mock charades
To call spades spades
When will it leveC#ml off
ASuch a buzzkill yes I am
I C#mkill momentum when I can
There's Ano parade I cannot rain on with my poison eByes
Kill me
ELurking in the shadow of the good life
What's real for you is C#mreal pretend
APlay the turtle to the hare
C#mSoon enough it's everywhere
AGet it over
Win and just conBverse
[Chorus]
AIt just might hEurt
AIt just might hEurt
C#mYou've seen the acF#tion that coAmes in the fElood
C#mThe wait now is ovF#er
You're sAtuck in the Emud
