First one and so I'm sorry if it's not great or if I mistook any lyrics, I got them from a website.

[Intro]
G Am Em
* * * (x2)
[Verse 1]
G Am Em
* * *
That slow burn waits while it gets dark
G
*
Bruising the sun
Am Em
* *
I feel grown up with you in your car
I know it's dumb
G Am Em G Am Em
Oooooooooooooooooohh
G Am Em
* * *
We both got a million bad habits to kick
G
*
Not sleeping is one
Am Em
* *
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip
I'm biting my tongue
G Am Em
Ooooooohh
G Am
But people are talking, people are talking
Em
But people are talking, people are talking
[Chorus]
G Am
Raise a glass, cause I'm not done saying it
Em
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
G Am Em
Let 'em talk, cause we're dancing in this world alone
Em G
*
World alone, we're alone
[Verse 2]
Am Em
* *
All my fake friends and all of their noise
G
*
Complain about work
Am Em
* *
They're studying business, I study the floor
G
*
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
Am Em
* *
Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks
G Am
But people are talking, people are talking, but not you
Em
But people are talking, people are talking
[Chorus]
G Am
Raise a glass, cause I'm not done saying it
Em
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
G Am Em
Let 'em talk, cause we're dancing in this world alone
Em G
World alone, we're alone
G Am
All the double-edged people into schemes
Em Am
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
G Am Em
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
Em G
*
A world alone, we're all alone
C Em
* *
G Am Em
* * *
I know we're no-o-ot everlasting
G Am Em
* * *
We're a trainwreck waiting to happen
G Am Em
* * *
One day the blo-o-od won't flow so gladly
G Am Em G Am Em
* * * * *
One day we'll all get still, get still
[Instrumental]
G Am Em
* * * (x3)
[Chorus]
G Am
Raise a glass, cause I'm not done saying it
Em
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
G Am Em
Let 'em talk, cause we're dancing in this world alone
Em G
World alone, we're alone
G Am
All the double-edged people into schemes
Em
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
G Am Em
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
Em G Am Em
*
A world alone, we're all alone
[Outro]
G Am Em
