[Verse 1]
Ab
this week's the trend
Db
Was to not wake up till 3 p.m.
Fm
I picked the few conscious hours that I chose to spend
Bb Eb
And slept away the rest of them
[Verse 2]
Ab
this week the trend
Db
Was to crash and burn and then return again
Fm
To practice the life that I pretend
Bb Eb
Provides enough to get me through the weekend
[Chorus]
Ab
So I say
Db Ab Eb
Get me a solution and watch me run with it
Ab
And then You gave
Db Ab Eb
You gave me a solution what have I done with it?
Fm
'Cause I was absolutely sure
Gb Db Eb
I had it all figured out way back then
Db
And now it's this minute, this hour, this day
[Verse 3]
Ab
And this week the trend
Db
Was to backstab every single one of my friends
Fm
And leave a voicemail message trying to make amends
Bb Eb
All the while hoping things work out in the end
[Solo]
Ab Db/Ab
[Verse 4]
Ab
this week's the trend
Db
Was to borrow all the strength that You could lend
Fm
To keep my head above the water and not descend
Bb Eb
Back to where I said I'd never go again
[Chorus]
Ab
So I say
Db Ab Eb
Get me a solution and watch me run with it
Ab
And then You gave
Db Ab Eb
You gave me a solution what have I done with it?
Fm
'Cause I was absolutely sure
Gb Db Eb
I had it all figured out way back then
Db Ab
But after this day it's this week all over again
[Solo]
Ab Db/Ab
Ab (hold)
[Bridge]
Db Ab
And I just want to get mugged at knifepoint
Bb Fm
To get cut enough to wake me up
Db Ab
'Cause I know that I don't want to die
B Fm
Sitting around watching my life go by
Db Ab
And what we take from this is what we'll get
Bb Fm
And we haven't quite figured it out just yet
Db Ab
Because all of us are all too stuck
Bb Fm
Strapped to a chair watching our lives blow up
Db
Stuck watching our lives blow up
[Outro]
Ab
