[Verse 1]
C#
I took a pill in Ibiza
B
To show Avicii I was cool
A
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
E B
But fuck it, it was something to do
C#
I'm living out in LA
B
I drive a sports car just to prove
A
I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollars
E B
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Chorus]
C#
But you don't wanna be high like me
B
Never really knowing why like me
A E B
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
C#
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
B
Never knowing who to trust like this
A
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
B
Stuck up on that stage singing
C# B A E B
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
C# B A E B
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse 2]
C# B
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
A
I get along with old timers
E B
Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
C#
And I can't keep a girl, no
B
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
A
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
E B
But the truth is I can't open up
[Chorus]
C#
But you don't wanna be high like me
B
Never really knowing why like me
A E B
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
C#
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
B
Never knowing who to trust like this
A
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
B
Stuck up on that stage singing
C# B A E B
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
C# B A E B
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse 3]
C#
I took a plane to my home town
B
I brought my pride and my guitar
A
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
E B
And the people still think I'm a star
C#
I walked around downtown
B
I met some fans on Lafayette
A
They said tell us how to make it cause we're getting real impatient
E B
So I looked 'em in the eye and said
[Chorus]
C#
But you don't wanna be high like me
B
Never really knowing why like me
A E B
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
C#
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
B
Never knowing who to trust like this
A
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
B
Stuck up on that stage singing
C# B A E B
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
C# B A E B
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
