Pale Beneath The Tan Squeeze

• D

A great song from their first release I Hate My Friends.


D       B
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!

           D
Squeeze my arms a little tighter
       F#
Let me know I'm still alive
                 B                             A  
Cause you're the only one here keeping both my eyes open tonight
      D
And I know that we got problems
        F#
Who are they to criticize
     B                                 A
If I tell you all my secrets would you tell me all your lies
           D
And when I stop writing her letters
              F#
I want her to know that it's because
       B                                    A
I have someone that makes me feel the same exact way that she does
           D                                 F#
And I will not deny the privilege to someone else who wants my love
       B                                      A
I have stitched a mask of confidence and I'll wear it like a glove 

      G                                 E
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today
              G                                     E
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say
      G                               E
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie
           G                                      E
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's no point to even try
               D           F#              B                A            
No point to try, no point try, no point to try, no point to try

D                               F#
I don't get it for real, this is blowing my mind
        B                                  A
We keep saying we're unhappy and they keep saying that we're fine
        D                              F#
I guess pain will be the only thing I ever get to bring
           B                                      A
But I will send it through the air like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing
           D                                    F#
All I ever wanted was something different, maybe by another name
         B                     
We could set ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame

G
So keep clapping and dancing
         E                                     G
Let them know you're still alive and if you're tired of giving up
                   E
At least make them think that you survived
        G                              E
So keep laughing, its not funny but at least you don't have to cry
         G                              E
When you wake up in the morning and you know you're still alive
             D                            F#
You're still alive, you know you're still alive
             B                      A
You're still alive, you know you're still alive

         D                  F#
Until we break down, til we shut down
          B                                    A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
         D                  F#
Until we break down, til we shut down
          B                                    A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
         D                  F#
Until we break down, til we shut down
          B                                    A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

      G                                 E
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today
             G                                      E
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say
      G                                 E
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie
           G                                          E
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to even try
                G
Little point to try
