Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I've been staring at your shoes all night

thinking how did you walk through my life

without me ever knowing that

we both hate all the same things

and now I'm wondering where you will walk next

maybe to an apartment complex

in New Jersey or Tennesee

or somewhere else I never ever ever thought you'd be.

Or maybe you'll be right here,

or maybe you'll be right here,

or maybe you'll be right here

next to me watching bad TV

Intro

Verse

Resting on rooftops sneaking cigarettes from your mothers purse again

13 held such awkward days

Counting stars wishing one of them would fall on your house,

maybe then you'd have a story you're proud to tell

Chorus

Younger days, they seem so far away

But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar

pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles

away But certain faces will bring me back to that awful rotten place

I remember your mother having sex in her bedroom with her new lover

while we watched reruns of Pete and Pete

I left my innocence at your doorstep from that day on

the world was scary I didn't trust anyone or know anyone

Chorus

Younger days, they seem so far away

But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar

pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles

away But certain faces will bring me back to that fucking rotten place

Intro

Verse

Great escapes have made up a third of my time on this place

and most of it's a blur and now I'm falling out of love

with the idea that if you don't like it just run away

The phrase time and place seems so dumb

when my time and place changes every month

And now I'm feeling like my roots are showing

if I don't find dirt I'll just stop growing

Chorus

I've never really cared about solution or remedy

I'll take what I get and hope it don't upset me

Now I'm done feeling like this can't be wrong

I'm doing this to me but I hope that you come along

come along

come along

come along

End on

Intro

Verse

The lines are blurry they're hard to make out as a ?

and what's the hurry, and what's the importance in what makes me

Less of a man and more of a mystery

And why the hell do we let these things define how we talk to each other

We talk to each other

Chorus

These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to

And these hands they are mine

These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to

And these hands they are mine

Bridge

Under what rock did you find the nerve

to tell me what I think I just heard

If I came from your lover's womb, what colour would you paint my room?

Would you paint it pink or blue?

Chorus

These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to

And these hands they are mine

These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to

And these hands they are mine

End on

, x4

Verse

I think we've both a little scared

I think we may be unprepared

I think we're both a little unaware of our faults

and our strength to overcome them

Pre-chorus

We've been running the same speed around the track

But if you need to run ahead just drop back

I'll be happy to do just that

I'll be happy to do just that

Verse

I'm okay if you think you're not ready

I'm okay if you need the space you need

I'll be okay if you're okay

Can I still sleep over when your parents are gone?

Lonely, lonely nights keep on knocking me down

Lonely, lonely nights seem less and less since you've been around

It's cliché but we've got our whole lives to say goodbye to those

Lonely lonely nights

Pre-chorus

We've been running the same speed around the track

But if you need to run ahead just drop back

I'll be happy to do just that

I'll be happy to do just that

End on

Break away

-

Hey Michael could you help me better understand

your tendancy for dishonesty I've been looking for years on end

It's got me thinking maybe you've got a lot of hate in your guts

And maybe you find pleasure in being an asshole

Best of luck

Chorus

Break, break away it's time to break break away

Break, break away it's time to break break away

Verse

Self-worth is hard to find but never seen someone so quick to deny

Hating the mirror hating the thought of

looking inside

Chorus

Break, break away it's time to break break away

Break, break away it's time to break break away

Break, break away

Break, break away

Break, break away

Break, break away

Intro

Verse

I appreciate what you thought was a compliment

I hope you understand why I'm not smiling

We've never been close I've never told you how I feel

I'm not really sure why you think this needs fixing

Pre-chorus

Maybe you've been misinformed

Maybe you just had it easy

Pointing it out makes it seem like I've got a problem well I do

Chorus

A problem with you

A problem with you

A problem with you

A problem with you

End on

Anger ain't a big part of me but lately I've been feeling like

I wanna take a bat right to your skull

break your teeth and keep them in a box on my desk

so when I'm feeling sad I can count them and know

you're eating your food through a straw
