Verse:

G          Dadd4/F       G                    Dadd4/F#
It meant a lot, it meant more than you'd ever know

G              Dadd4/F#         G                     Dadd4/F#
We moved apart and in different directions we'll go

G                     Dadd4/F#             G           Dadd4/F#
And you made choices,   and I'd have never thought any less of you

         G                   Dadd4/F#        G                         Dadd4/F#
But with all your education,   thought you'd have figured out what I'm trying to do and...


Interlude:
G    Dadd4/F#    Cadd9    G    G    Dadd4/F#    Cadd9    G


Verse:

G                 D                     Cadd9    G
  Some things are bigger than hellfire
G                D                  Cadd9    G
  Some lives are smaller than most

G            D              Cadd9      G
 And I can't justify an existence

G       D              Cadd9     G
  spent dancing with a ghost...


Bridge:

Cadd9     G   Cadd9   G    Cadd9   G      Cadd9       G
      And we're    gonna get    ourselves       outta here


Verse:

   Cadd9 G      Cadd9      G
So don't   make me feel small

Cadd9         G         Cadd9   G
I try as hard as anyone

    Cadd9 G      Cadd9      G
And don't   make me feel young

            Cadd9         G                 Cadd9   G
It's just semantics and a matter of months

       Cadd9         Dadd4/F#      Em            Dadd4/F#
And if everything we fought for is now a fucking joke

        Cadd9
Well at least I'm  not the punch line


Bridge:

G  Cadd9     G   Cadd9   G    Cadd9   G      Cadd9       G     Cadd9  G  Cadd9
         And we're    gonna get    ourselves       outta here


Verse:

   G                                    Dadd4/F#
So get this scribbled on your chest, "A loss that's shared is a loss felt less,"

      Em                           Cadd9
And I know we lost something, just can't think of when or where

    G              Dadd4/F#
And if I knew, I'd meet you there


Chorus:

    G                                                       Dadd4/F#
And I'd say, "I'm sorry," and that I'm wrong, but how would you understand if you don't sing along?

       Em                                                 Cadd9
You've changed and outgrown, that's fine I'll stay young

        G                                   Dadd4/F#
Because when I die I won't be old, so let's take this one out into the cold

   Em                   Cadd9
If we only get tonight, let's go out in style

    G                                                       Dadd4/F#
And I'd say, "I'm sorry," and that I'm wrong, but how would you understand if you don't sing along?

       Em                                                 Cadd9
You've changed and outgrown, that's fine I'll stay young

        G                                   Dadd4/F#
Because when I die I won't be old, so let's take this one out into the cold

   Em                   Cadd9
If we only get tonight, let's go out in style


Bridge:

G  Cadd9     G   Cadd9   G    Cadd9   G      Cadd9       G     Cadd9  G  Cadd9
         And we're    gonna get    ourselves       outta here
