G                          C  
Don't believe everything happiness says  
G                          C  
Nothing feels better than hiding these days  
     G        C             G              C  
We bury our fears in the drinks, in these tears  
Em                 D              C                  D  
For the days we believed we could fly  

G                            C  
Call up your brothers and sisters and friends  
          G                           C  
We'll go back to the place where the night never ends  
         G           C           G          C  
We'll remember the fires, the burning car tires  
    Em          D                C             D  
Boy how in the hell did we get here?  

    G                      C  
So why don't you meet me, down behind the old school  
        G                            Em       D  
We'll waste away the weekend, with perfect regard for how  
G                                C  
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity  
       G  
The apathy's surrounding me  
Em                D              G C G  
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away  

G                  C  
Over and over and over again  
        G                      C  
We sat down for a minute, grew up into men  
             G          C           G          C  
Now we're putting out fires and changing car tires  
     Em      D               C          D  
Man how in hell did we get here?  

    G                      C  
So why don't you meet me, down behind the old school  
        G                            Em       D  
We'll waste away the weekend, with perfect regard for how  
G                                C  
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity  
       G  
The apathy's surrounding me  
Em                D            Am     C       G  
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time  
            D  
And we'll never get back what we  
Am     C            D                          D  
Gave away, when we still have that fire in our eyes  

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


    G                      C  
So why don't you meet me, down behind the old school  
        G                            Em       D  
We'll waste away the weekend, with perfect regard for how  
G                                C  
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity  
       G  
The apathy's surrounding me  
Em                D              G  
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade...  
                          C  
why don't you meet me, down behind the old school  
        G                            Em       D
