Friendship is Rare
02:51
|
|||
Tuning - C# Standard
D G
If you love something, you'll make it stay
D Bm A
And if you love someone, you'll say sorry at the door
G D Bm A G
Sometimes you just don't care enough to fight, even if you know you're right
A G A D
Because the effort we put in, is always good enough
CHORUS:
D Bm A
Cause I've pulled my best friends out of fights
G D
A handful of times we all didn't stay the night
Bm - A G D
Here is a rational, best friends die old together
A G A D
We know it takes twice as long, to correct, one single wrong
VERSE 2:
D G
I know friendship is rare, Ryan tells me so
D Bm A
And the loves I leave, there no sorry for being me
G D Bm A G
And the girls make sure to remember, every anniversary
A G A D
I'm just happy enough, they listen to my shitty stories
CHORUS 2:
D Bm A
I love waking up to coffee
G D
Listening to records till our ears bleed
Bm A G D
We are the perfect match, in a house that won't collapse
A G A D
Because the day we break up, someone had kids

Slogans
03:36
|
|||
I'm on a roof without a ladder and the house is always on fire
I'm time and money spent living in denial
And I've blown up so many times it's like I've died
Just remember to spike your ticket on the line
These things take over half of my life
But it's truth, and a bullet and another night, here
But it's truth, and a bullet and another night, here
Have you ever gotten in one of those moods
Where everything's wrong and there's nothing you can do
There's a room with sun and it's always shining, I know it's true man
I'm sick of the slogan "I'm doing the best I can"
Someone save me from myself
I'm not happy anymore, l can't even remember what I signed up for?
Before it's too late and I get colder
Before it's too late and I get colder
You'll be surprised at the things hard work can get you
All you fuckers do is leave behind things to do
And the things that I cherish, won't always be there will they, mommy?
When I'm too busy in the backyard drinking, singing "Clementine"
I don't like too strict, Japanese business men
It's not worth the trouble, calling me sensitive

I'm sorry but, it's the sad songs that makes me happy
F G F G
What was that feeling when I met Say Yes?
C F G
You're the first to hate when it's sappy
Yet the first with no address
C F G
I found the guts and I met the man
C F G
Scream out to embarrass my name
C F G
Yet anxiety keeps me along
C F
There's joy in a sad song
C F C F
I'm done making sense to other people
I'm done making sense
C F C F
C F C F
C F C F

VERSE 1:
I know what you said, "have a good time at your show"
But I know what you meant
Too scared, to introduce me to your friends
CHORUS:
Words you say, only multiply
No court big enough, to testify
24, no more in depthe than what, makes me fear my sorry life
VERSE 2:
Maybe it's the times,
Weren't really about you man
You stumble, on my doorstep
Like I don't matter
Sometimes you lie
About things you believe in
The crazy part is
We'd probably get along just fine
CHORUS 2:
Structure is what makes me not belong
I need a conscience, to feel wrong?
Everything should come with liquor and beer
Cause what else, would I have to fear?

Thank God, Sarcastically
03:23
|

Capo: 0
VERSE 1:
C
I'm a subway car, rushing down the boulevard
F C
And you're a pretty girl with an actual meaning
G F C
And you know I always get lost on the way to your house
G F C
And I usually don't find out where I'm going until my coffee's all cold
CHORUS 1:
Dm C E7 F
But there's nothing worse than, making money
That's why I thank god, sarcastically
It seems like I've got no one left, to impress
But who the fuck am I to question progress
F G C
I'm a tightly wound rope, hanging in my dreams
C7 F
You're a constant addiction
C
I can't stand living life the way it seems
VERSE:
You will swoop up all the women (I know you will)
You will leave me looking like a case of goodwill
I just wish I could be the feeling hearing my favorite song on the radio
But I don't' keep much of anything in my memory
CHORUS 2:
Dm C E7 F
Cause there's no alibi for things that have already died
So thank god sarcastically, for what's on your mind
I'm another night, stuck where I might drown
Ehh, you know what they say, it's all the shit you do that follows you around

Hello darling, you let me be who I want to be
You won't ask, but I'll tell, I don't hold hands well
I swear I don't write puns to be funny
I got no stories, worth telling, that don't involve a pause
I get lost real easy, and I always feel queazy
We'll get coffee and discuss our lives
E Eb-D
mmmmm, mhhhmmmm, mmm
A E D A
That's why confusion at heart is the worst
Am I blind or is my heart in a hearse?
I can't see all these things in front of me
It feels like life is freezing
But will you love me? No no.
Will you love me?
Will you love me, darling, no no.
The friend that got lost, cause of love, was a friend with their lines crossed
You'd say that whiskey and beer, make anything shine
I'd buy you 50 cent rings, and a movie
I might get caught up
In things I don't understand about you, darling
But the last time I checked, you still earned my respect
And I'll love you forever, signed Bob
CHORUS:
But will you love me?
Will you love me? Yeah, yeah
Will you love me? Yeah, yeah
Will you love me?
Will you love me?

Tuning: C# Standard
INTRO INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE 1:
Eb
This isn't a peaceful song
It's a way to make myself belong
Rendezvous inside my sorry mind
But you deserve more
CHORUS - (ANSWER & REPEAT) G-Eb (4 times)
G# Eb
I can't be let down! (Can't be let down)
I can't be worn out, inside my mind
I'll have my cake and eat it too, so fuck all of the things you do
Inside my mind, it's a constant war, and I don't wanna be, myself anymore.
INSTRUMENTAL LICK with 1st guitar octaving.
VERSE 2:
Eb
You're so cutthroat when you talk about
The ways that I act out
I acted like I forgot to offer you coffee
Cause I was afraid you'd never leave
CHORUS - (ANSWER & REPEAT) G-Eb (4 times)
G# Eb
I will let you down, (I'll let you down)
You'll wear me out, inside my mind
Don't hold my composure well
Cause not much what I do is noble
Inside my mind, it's a constant war, and I don't wanna be, myself anymore.
