Verse: 

C                            F 
I wanna be a writer I don't mind 
                                      C 
Making up some lies just to pass the time 
                                     Am 
If we're breaking up I guess that's fine 
              G                   C 
Cause I only care about half the time 
                                   F 
I wanna learn to play this damn guitar 
                                 C 
I wanna make you happy it's not hard 
                               Am      
You know that all it takes is certain days  
      G           F 
where we can stay up late 
        G 
Woah-oh-oh 


C         F   
Don't look  
                   G 
you might fall down 
                                        C 
Cause I never cared who was around and I'm  
        F 
so sure  
                 G 
that I'm failing 
                                   C 
But it's hard to say who hates me now 

Interlude: C F G (x2) 

Verse 

C 
Wanna watch the sunrise and fall asleep 
N.C.                                    
Talk about the nineties and make believe 
                                   Am   G                  F 
These thoughts are just as good as I remember but they're not 
           Am         G                     F 
And if we never slow down then we'll never get caught 
        G 
Woah-oh-oh 


C         F   
Don't look  
                   G 
you might fall down 
                                        C 
Cause I never cared who was around and I'm  
        F 
so sure  
                 G 
that I'm failing 
                                   C 
But it's hard to say who hates me now 
          F   
Don't look  
                   G 
you might fall down 
                                        C 
Cause I never cared who was around and I'm  
        F 
so sure  
                 G 
that I'm failing 
                                   C 
But it's hard to say who hates me now 

Interlude: C 

Bridge 

C  F         Am         G               C 
I can't look back I'm afraid that I'll change 
   F         Am            G         C 
I can't move on so I just count the days 
       F         Am            G          C 
These days I'm afraid to even make a sound 
         F          Am         G 
Cause I could choke on these words  
         F        G 
I could choke on these words 
            C 
I probably will
