I don't want to want feel that weak and insecure,

As if, As if, As if, Black me out

E                        
All the young graves filled.

Don't the best all burn out so bright and so fast? 
E                    
All the young graves filled. 
          A                     Am 
Don't the best all burn out so bright and so fast? 
B                    A            Am  
Full-body high. I'm never coming down. 
         E 
Black me out
