C Am Em
Want to get dressed up and get pissed up I’m goin out tonight
C Am Em
Want to take a girl from the devils cup I’m goin out tonight
C Am Em
You’re a fine distraction but I need darker stuff
C Am Em
You won’t understand
C Am Em
See I remember I’ve been in love before it was a different life
C Am Em
What I wanted it didn’t matter it was a different life
C Am Em
Now I only care for me but I take you home at night
C Am Em
But you don’t understand

MEEEEE

C Am Em
Would you think awful mean if I run away tonight
C Am Em
My old heart break is flaring up and I just can’t fight
C Am Em
You shouldn’t have to see me cry the way I won’t cry for you
C Am Em
You wouldn’t understand

Right or wrong with a lover without a man you’re here

Because I don’t want to be in love and I don’t want to be lonely

Risk free kisses seem to me now the finest kind
C Am Em
I hope you can forgive
