Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck.
 F                         C                 G 
Some nights I call it a draw.
 C                                                       F                                 C 
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle.

Why don't we break the rules already?
               F                       C 
I was never one to believe the hype.
 F                                     C 
Save that for the black and white.
               F                                       C 
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,

Five minutes in and I'm bored again.

Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands.

This is not one for the folks back home.

Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister
