Capo 4
So occasionally when you transition between the G and the Em7 you'll want to to do this hammer on lick on the
E string (not every time thought. Occasionally you may want to use the Bm7 as a passing chord instead)

[Intro]
Am7 D7 G Em7
Am7 D7 G
[Verse]
G
Caught me shoegazing like some lo-fi band,
A desperate beer in each one of my hands,
Am7 D7 G
I’ll dance the night away to prove it’s great.
G
Ten minutes later, repetitive lines,
G
Valencia filters are passing the time, and
Am7 D7
the photo’s flash has made my eyes
Bm7 E7
Appear to be the ghostly kind
G
but I’ve sunk into music just like the dead sea
Am7
I try and go further til buoyancy floats me,
D7
semi sobriety,
G Em7
an unconscious mess I guess I’ll never be
[Chorus]
Am7 D7 G
that’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night
Em7 Am7 D7 G
all night, all night, i’ll pop sugar pills all night
Am7 D7
I can’t see a thing in the haze around me
G Em7
I’m still having fun cause I know I should be
Am7 D7
when will I stop being such a dumb kid and go
B7 Em7
wherever real life is?
Am7 D7 G E7
But why would I lie when I said I won’t?
Am7 D7 G E7
I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t.
Am7 D7 G
that’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night,
Em7 Am7
all right, all right,
D7 G
placebo-ing on friday night
[Verse]
G
I’m just a weed growing out of the wall -
G
it’s an obvious secret that’s kept by us all
Am7 D7
tonight, but this will die with me,
G E7
I’ll bury it deep in my broken phone screen
Am7 D7 G
alright, till the backlight kills my sight
G
But tell me that funny things don’t go away
G
and promise we’ll keep being stupid all day
Am7 D7
so hey, who needs life anyway?
G E7
let’s stay immature and let's not ever stray
[Chorus]
Am7 D7 G
that’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night
Em7 Am7 D7 G
all night, all night, i’ll pop sugar pills all night
Am7 D7
I can’t see a thing in the haze around me
G Em7
I’m still having fun cause I know I should be
Am7 D7
when will I stop being such a dumb kid and go
B7 Em7
wherever real life is?
Am7 D7 G E7
But why would I lie when I said I won’t?
Am7 D7 G E7
I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t.
Am7 D7 G
that’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night,
Em7 C Cm7
all right, all right, all right
C Cm7
