Capo 1
[Verse]
C C/B
Let's get fucked up and die
C F G C
I am speaking figuratively of course
C C/B Am
Like the last time that I committed suicide
G
Social suicide
C C/B
Yeah so I'm already dead
C F G C
On the inside but I can still pretend
C C/B Am G
With my memories and photographs I have learned to love the lie
[Chorus]
F G Am G
I want to know what its like to be awkward and innocent not belligerent
F G Am G
I want to know how it feels to be useful and pertinent and have common sense yeah
F G Am
Let me in let me into the club 'cause I want to belong
G/B
And I need to get strong
F G
And if memory serves I'm addicted to words
C
And they're useless in this department
[Verse]
C C/B
Let's get fucked up and die
C F G C
I'm riding hard on the last legs of every lie
C C/B Am
And the BMX bike of my life is about to explode
G
I'm about to explode
C C/B
I'm a mess I'm a wreck
C F G C
I am perfect and I have learned to accept
C C/B Am G
All my problems and shortcomings 'cause I'm so visceral yet deeply inept
[Chorus]
F G
I want to thank you for being a part of my
Am G F G
Forget me nots and marigolds and other things that don't get old
Am G
Is it legal to do this I surely don't know
F G Am
It's the only way I have learned to express myself
G/B
Through other peoples descriptions of life
F G C
I'm afraid I'm alone and entirely useless in this department
[Verse]
C C/B
Let's get fucked up and die
C F G C
For the last time with feelings we'll try not to smile
C C/B Am G
As we cover our heads and drink heavily into the nights that still shock and surprise
C C/B C F G C
I believe that I can overcome this and beat everything in the end
C C/B
But I choose to abuse for the time being
Am G
Maybe I'll win But for now I've decided to die
[Chorus]
F G Am G
Sister soldier you've been such a positive influence on my mental frame
F G Am G
If I could ever repay you I would but I'm hard up for cash and my memory lacks initiative
F G Am
Goddamn the liquor store's closed We were so close to scoring
G/B F G
It hurts it destroys 'til it kills I am tired and hungry and totally
C
useless...in this department.
