I was kinda hoping your tattoos
    E
at least meant something to you
C#m                      A
and every time that you find a bruise
          E
will you think of what you've got to lose
C#m                      A
and every time that you hear my voice
     E
you say I give you the blues
C#m                 A
well unfortunately there's times in life
E
baby, where you've gotta choose
                           A
I'm sure you know of the danger
                       E
in going home with a stranger

at least meant something to you
E                          C#m
'cause when you don't have me at all
G#m                A        E
baby, whatcha you gonna do?
      C#m
Cause I don't think that you can hold
     A                          E     A   E
the weight of the world by yourself
            B
you let it crush you
                            A
before you shared it with someone else

Pre-Chorus:

A                                     E   A   E

I don't need a friend

I need somebody who doesn't give a shit

Chorus:

                 A
And we can get wasted,
            E
We can get wasted
            A
We can get wasted

We can get wasted

Verse:

C#m               A
If I came to the bar where you are
       E                           B
Would you stay or would you leave?
C#m                          A
Do you think that you could share the air
    E                    B
or would you rather not breathe
         E         C#m
because everybody knows
             G#m           A        E
where you'll be when the taverns close
   C#m                     A
Is this the life that you chose?
          E                             B
dodging through while you strike a pose

We can get wasted (Together we sing)

We can get wasted (and pretend that we're kings)
            C#m                      A
We can get wasted (and not feel anything)
            E
We can get wasted
            A
We can get wasted,
            E
We can get wasted
            A
We can get wasted,
            E
We can get wasted (I know it won't be long)
            A
We can get wasted (before we find where we belong)
            E
We can get wasted (I'm going down if I'm alone)
            A
We can get wasted (And we can get...)
            E
We can get wasted
            A
We can get wasted
            E
We can get wasted
            A
We can get wasted
