[Intro]
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9
[Verse]
G
Stuck in the jet wash
Cadd9
Bad trip I couldn't get off
Em
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew
Cadd9
And overhead of the aqua blue
G
Fall to your knees bring on the rapture
Cadd9
Blessed be the boys time can't capture
Em
On film or between the sheets
Cadd9
I always fall from your window to the pitch black streets
Cadd9
And with the black banners raised
Em
As the crooked smiles fade
Cadd9 Em
Former heroes who quit too late
Cadd9 Em Dsus
Just wanna fill up the trophy case again
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
And in the end, I'd do it all again
Em
I think you're my best friend
Cadd9
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
G Cadd9
I'll be yours, when it rains it pours
Em
Stay thirsty like before
Cadd9
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
G Cadd9
[Verse]
G
I'm not passive but aggressive
Cadd9
Take note, it's not impressive
Em
Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse
Cadd9
On my bedroom floor, we put your curse in reverse
G
And it's our time now if you want to to be
Cadd9
Maul the world like a carnival bear set free
Em
And your love is anemic and I can't believe
Cadd9
That you couldn't see it coming from me
Cadd9 Em
And I still feel that rush in my veins
Cadd9 Em
It twists my head just a bit too thin
Cadd9 Em Dsus
All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
And in the end, I'd do it all again
Em
I think you're my best friend
Cadd9
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
G Cadd9
I'll be yours, when it rains it pours
Em
Stay thirsty like before
Cadd9
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
[Bridge]
Em G Cadd9
And sometimes I just want to sit around, and gaze at my shoes yeah
Em G Cadd9
And let your dirty sadness fill me up, just like a balloon
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
And in the end, I'd do it all again
Em
I think you're my best friend
Cadd9
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
G Cadd9
I'll be yours, when it rains it pours
Em
Stay thirsty like before
Cadd9
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9 G
