Nothing feels better than hiding these days

We bury our fears in the drinks and these tears

Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity

The apathy surrounding me
Em        D       F   C    G
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time
     D            F   C
And we'll never get back what we gave away
    D
When we still have that fire in our eyes

Verse:
G            C
Don't believe everything happiness says
G            C
Nothings as real as our old, reckless ways
     G      C     G      C
When we'd drink by the fires, the burning car tires
  G       C     G      C
Bad girls and good liars, the dreams we'd conspire
  Em      D     G        C
The days we went crazy, the nights wild and hazy
   Em     D        C  Dsus
Man, how in the hell did we get here?

The apathy surrounding me
Em        D
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away, away, away

   G           C
