• G

Intro: 
  
G Em C - this three times in arpeggios 
THEN 
G Em G D Em D C - strummed. listen for the changes! 


Verse 1: 
G 
I am the pain that bleeds through your temples  

Every morning when you wake up  
Em 
I am the boy with alcohol poisoning  
G 
From all the parties Chris would throw 
  
That summer that they took us in  

Like every other American  
Em 
For getting drunk in back of the Lion's Club  
G                                        D 
Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up  
                 Em              D 
Then some kids played hacky sack  
                           C 
While the others just got high  


Interlude: G Em G D Em D C 


Verse 2:
 
G 
It's not hard to fall for a waitress  

When you both smoke  

Smoke the same cigarettes  
Em 
You'll get seated as diners lovers 
G  
You'll get the check that Scranton's for the better  
D                                 Em         
You'll carve your names into the Parpat Cliffs  
           D                  C 
Just read them when you get old enough to know 
  
That happiness is just a moment  



    G                        C       G 
So I'm marching up to your gates today  
   Em               C 
To throw my lonely soul away  
      G           
'Cause I don't need it  
C         G       Em   C 
You can take it back (2x) 



Bridge:
 
     Am               C            G 
And they will make examples out of us  
                 D                          Em 
Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot  
       C 
But I fed the liars, I fed the liars, I fed the liars 
G  
Everything I got  
Em 
Everything I got 
      C 
in my cabinet brain  
     G 
Of canned thoughts  
     G 
Everything I've got  
          Em 
It was everything I've got  
         C 
In my cabinet brain, in my cabinet brain 


 
   G                        C       G 
So I'm marching up to your gates today  
   Em               C 
To throw my lonely soul away  
      G           
'Cause I don't need it  
C         G       Em   C 
You can take it back  


Outro: 
    G                        C       G 
So I'm marching up to your gates today  
   Em               C     G    C     G 
To throw my lonely soul away  


Em 
Yeah I don't need it  
C                    G 
You can take it back
