Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Everclear tune a whole step down nowadays (DGCFAD),
but if you just want to play in standard,
transpose down two semitones so the first chord reads "G".

[Chorus]

A
We burn out in the dark
D
We are invisible stars
F#m
We are a question mark
D
Be careful what you ask for
A
We are broken glass
D
We never had a chance
F#m
We want what we don't have
D
Be careful what you ask for
A
We will never die
D F#m
Put your hope in the sky
F#m
To burn a perfect light
D
Be careful what you ask for

I'm sorry we are living in the car
F#m D
This isn't what you wanted when you gave me your heart

I'm sorry I got lazy in need
F#m D
This isn't what you wanted when you married me
A D
Life looks better when you waste away the day
F#m D
Life looks better when you make it all a game

Life looks better when you drink away the pain

Life looks better when you look away

A D
I know you get mad at me
F#m D
When your card gets denied at the market down the street
A D
I know that you wanna leave
F#m
Yeah, this isn't what you wanted when you married me
