Typically, Kip of Pains... plays this with power chords, but this
sounds good if you are playing solo. Also at the bottom, I included
a different way of playing the "E B C#m A" pattern
INTRO
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
VERSE1
E B C#m A
What did you take? ‘Cuz that’s what I’ll take,
E B C#m A
And I can’t take it without you
E B C#m A
When I feel dead, I lay in my bed
E B C#m A
I don’t want to lay here without you
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
Now you can’t stand, well I understand
E B C#m A
You can take my heavy hand
E B C#m A
‘Cuz I can’t resist the touch of your lips
E B C#m A
I feel the bliss on my fingertips – oh shit
CHORUS 1
B C#m
And I’m scared that this could end
B C#m
Face down in the park again
B C#m
Wondering where I left my mind last night
A B E
But that’s alright, you’re my terrible friend
B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
VERSE 2
E B C#m A
Everyone is pretty and fun, everyone is lovely and young
E B C#m
Everyone is gentle and gone, but everyone’s just everyone
CHORUS 2/END
E B
And you’re the one who’s breaking me
C#m A
And you’re the one who just won’t leave
E B C#m A E
Still I don’t want it to end, you are my, you're my terrible friend
B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
---END---
