[Intro]
C G Dm Am 4x
[Verse]
C G Dm Am
Spent all my cash on trying to make a good feeling last
C G
Buying beer, so sincere is the way I think
Dm Am
When I'm walking around thinking about that missing link
C G
In my being here, I guess tired is what I am
Dm Am
Lack of sleep makes my brain numb and words dumb
C G
Eyes sagging, dark, bloodshot, hard to see
Dm Am
Hard to smile, crack a joke at a party
C G
Giving all the pretty girls halfhearted smiles
Dm Am
You know, the type where you think about how you look
C G
when you're doing it read it up in a book, waste of time
Dm Am
Like a candy-coated valentine
C G
Experience is what I got for a tortured brain
Dm Am
Lack of knowledge's what I got for feeling this pain
C G
What am I saying, stressing over some bullshit task
Dm Am
Oh, just chill and make the good times last but
[Chorus]
C G Dm Am
Please don't coax my mind
C G
'Cause what I see, I must behold
Dm Am
And I'm staring all the time
C
So I reach to my fridge
G Dm Am
Crack a beer just to have some fun
C G Dm Am
What I neeeeed is standing in the sun
[Verse]
C G
Cause every time I go out, trying to have fun
Dm Am C G
That's all it is about, dancing oh so drunk at my peak
Dm Am
Hooking up with girls I haven't even known a week
C G
Getting dumb enough to say the stupidest things
Dm Am
Laughing at the chumps doing the most ridiculous things
C G
Making fun of girls with sticks up their sexy asses
Dm Am
Getting dismissed and turned down and walked past
C G
There's one thing, though, and that's that I'm a hypocrite
Dm Am
Because I'm participating in the exact same shit
C G
Making fun of things that I do myself
Dm
Oh, well, I'm having fun, enjoy this
Am
Wealth, I guess, but
[Chorus]
C G Dm Am
Please don't coax my mind
C G
'Cause what I see, I must behold
Dm Am
And I'm staring all the time
C
So I reach to my fridge
G Dm Am
Crack a beer just to have some fun
C G Dm Am
What I neeeeed
[Outro]
C
G Dm Am
What I neeeeed
C G Dm Am C
What I need is that thing, that will make my heart go wild
G Dm Am
And what I see in you, lights my soul on fire
C G Dm Am
I hope you feel the same for me
C G Dm Am
And I'll feel it for a day, like a needle in my arm
C G Dm Am
And I'll scream out just the same even though it does no harm
C G Dm Am
But I got to know these things that put a burden on me
C G Dm Am C
I neeeeeeed youuuuuuu
