Verse:

D
You didn't mean it
Bm
But you still don't care
Em
I'm making excuses
A
I guess - I'm a little sacred
D
While all of this happened
Bm
I was just standing there and you're
Em
Throwing your weight around
A

Cause you don't know how to share



[Pre-Chorus}
D
Sometimes I do that
Bm
I lie to myself
Em
But this time I knew that
A
I needed an out
D
Happiest day of my life
Bm
It was the happiest day of my life
Em
Just like the perfectly sharpened blade of a knife
A
It was the happiest day of my life


Verse:
D
Change can be scary
Bm
So much to repair
Em
It's never enough I know
A
I'll just change my hair
D
I look in the mirror
Bm
Can't tell if I've grown
Em
It's like - I'm fighting this war
A
For what? guess I'll never know


Verse:
D
Sometimes I do that
Bm
I lie to myself
Em
But this time I knew that

I needed an out

Happiest day of my life
Bm
It was the happiest day of my life
Em
Just like the perfectly sharpened blade of a knife
A
It was the happiest day of my life

Nothing brings me sadness
Bm
Like the wasted time

I'm used to the madness

You can take whats mine
D
When you looked me in my eyes
Bm
And told me lies
Em
Nothing brings me sadness
A
Your words are benign
