Intro

------------------

Verse 1

I stood by somebody else

and then I stood by you

I couldn't move my legs

I didn't know what to do

I fail to find the words

I try hard to be cool

I die to hear your voice it's

smoothly ringing in the room

Verse 2

I see you're a surgeon in the looks

what could you possibly see in me

I lost the job I had who picked

me up when I'm in mom and dad's

You know I'll let you cut me up

I know you hate to see me bleed

Is it the color of my blood

or me in the complete?

Chorus 1

18 They had it out for us and

We were always set for a fall

You saved 197--9 to me it was

the end of the world

Yeah right, we're

safe we're cool

I know you always wanted more

Pick me we're so

clean we'll wake

up when the worst is over

Interlude

----------------

Verse 3

Did I tell you I was premature?

I'm not fit to follow rules

I always fuck things up I guess

that makes life more interesting

You think that I'm absurd

well certainly with you

I am absolutely assured

I am ill conceived

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Interlude

Bridge

There is always something wrong

but I need to see it through

I don't mean to be obsessed

I don't need to be amused

I can't stand to be a stain

that needs to be removed

If I sacrificed myself then

(hold)

I'd know I never knew you

Chorus 2

18 They had it out for us

We were always set for a fall

You saved 197--9 to me it was

the end of the world

Yeah right, we're

safe we're cool

I know you always

set for fall

always set for fall

Chorus 3

18 They had it out for us

18 They had it out for us

I know you always wanting more

Pick me we're so clean we'll

wake up when the worst is over

Take me steering wheel to the

cliff now we're going over

Kiss me kiss and bleed we'll

wake up now the worst is over
