Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
C F G
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
C C9 G F
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
C C9 G
I took a shot and didn't even come close
C F G
At trust and love and hope
C F C G
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
C F G
and never had it at all

C F
And the record won't stop skipping
C F
And the lies just won't stop slipping
C F G
And besides my reputation's on the line
C F
We can fake it for the airwaves
C F
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
C F G
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
G C F C F
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
C F G
Blame everyone but me for this mess

And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
C F G
We never seemed so far

And the lies just won't stop slipping

From comparing myself to everyone else around me
