Everclear tune a whole step down nowadays (DGCFAD),
but if you just want to play in standard,
transpose down two semitones so the first chord reads "G".
[Chorus]
A
We burn out in the dark
D
We are invisible stars
F#m
We are a question mark
D
Be careful what you ask for
A
We are broken glass
D
We never had a chance
F#m
We want what we don't have
D
Be careful what you ask for
A
We will never die
D F#m
Put your hope in the sky
F#m
To burn a perfect light
D
Be careful what you ask for

Life looks better when you waste away the day

Life looks better when you make it all a game

Life looks better when you drink away the pain

Life looks better when you look away

I know you get mad at me
F#m D
When your card gets denied at the market down the street
A D
I know that you wanna leave

Yeah, this isn't what you wanted when you married me

Life looks better when you waste away the day

Life looks better when you make it all a game
