Eb MajorEb  N.C.

Verse 1:
N.C.  FF
He was drunk, I was blind
     Bb majorBb     C majorC
Though we tried to be kind
   FF
I was sunk, always late
    Bb majorBb    FF C majorC
We were quick to rotate
     DmDm       C majorC
Let's be blunt, I was a bluff
      Bb majorBb      FF
And the surreal life was tough
    DmDm      C majorC
I was a runt, we told lies
    Eb MajorEb
But to our great surprise

Pre-Chorus:
    Gm7Gm7     C majorC
All the sh*t that we did
        Gm7Gm7   C majorC
Brought us some money, I guess
     Gm7Gm7     C majorC
And those snotty young kids
    G minorGm     C majorC
Were a standing success
     Bb majorBb     FF
Helped us conquer and rise
    Bb majorBb       C majorC
And we learned in this hell

Chorus:
N.C.        FF
We don't wanna get wise
FF
(I don't wanna get wise
FF
I don't wanna get wise)

Life teaches us well

Verse 2:
Eb MajorEb    FF
We still pull, we get smug
    Bb majorBb     C majorC
And we all like a drug
   FF
Over full, always sated
Bb majorBb     FF C majorC
Puffed up, elated
    DmDm     C majorC
Let's admit our mistakes
     DmDm      FF
Are what triggered our breaks
     DmDm       C majorC
We were sh*ts, oh, no disguise
    Eb MajorEb
And it is no surprise

Pre-Chorus:
     Gm7Gm7     C majorC
That the cr*p that we did
      Gm7Gm7    C majorC
Brought us money, God bless
     Gm7Gm7     C majorC
And those snotty young kids
    G minorGm     C majorC
Were a standing success
     Bb majorBb     FF
Helped us conquer and rise
    Bb majorBb       C majorC
And we learned in this hell

I don't wanna get wise)

Bridge:
Eb MajorEb       Dm7Dm7
Experiment, you universe
Cm7Cm7        Bb majorBb
We'll ask why you choose to curse
          AbAb
Why set a fire you plan to douse?

Why set a rat to catch a mouse?

We tried hard to stay young
    Bb majorBb       FF
But the high notes were sung
      DmDm         C majorC
We've been scarred, we've been prized
       Eb MajorEb       FF
But you could see in our eyes
