VERSE ONE:
                                                  
Here I go again, put me on the first train heading eastbound.
                                                                    
And if by June I'm still alive, I promise not to tell my dad I'm miserable
      
but thanks for all his sacrifice.
                     
Cause I'm ashamed of the things that I did,
           
I said whatever it took just to get her in bed and
 
It's kinda fun when you're only a kid
                                          
but you grow up to learn that the scars you cut are permanent


BRIDGE 1:
                                         
But I haven't had one drink in three whole years.
                    
There's no need for drinking when you're not here.
                                   
Do you find it amusing I'm seeing clear?
             
in this haze of hateful atmosphere.


                                     
So come on we're not fooling anybody tonight
                                    
We're the king and queen of social suicide.
                                                                 - 
And things are better now knowing that we've never found anyone else.


CHORUS:
                                          
So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone.
                                                    
and if anyone can help, I think I'm losing it
                            
I grab and hold on tightly but i start to slip.
                                        
I've got a problem with my self control, (Hold on)

I fall in love when I'm with any girl. (Honest)
                                          
They got it wrong saying love is blind it's fine,
                    
It's just disguised as sex tonight.


BRIDGE
  
                        
And it's too hard to deny.


VERSE TWO:
                     
Cause she's got that dress on,
                                                            
you know the one that shows off the things that she can do to me.
                                    
And I'm taking lessons how not to beg for sex
                            
it's just a side effect we're feeling from the ectasy.

                                                     
So come on we're not getting any younger tonight.
                                                              
Your the gracious host and I'm the parasite.
                      
It's the simple act of growing old
                           
mixed in with chemicals
                               
and we're the end results, slow down...
                             
Cause I can tell when you're aroused, (like now...)


CHORUS


BRIDGE 2:
   
                       
And as long as I'm alive
            
I'll try to mend this broken future (we call life)

                        
I'm feeling better all the time
                       
(Pretend you care for me tonight)
                                     
It's safe to say that I'll be fine, this time

BUILD UP
                                        
So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone.
                        
And if anyone can help, I'm losing it
                          
So this one goes out,


                       
to all you lovestruck fools
                                                   
I've got news for you, I know a thing or two on giving up.
                                                                
To all you heartless souls i think it's best you know i play the leading 
               
role on giving up 

                 
To all you lovestruck fools,
                                                   
we've got news for you,We know a thing or two on giving up.
                                                                
To all you heartless souls we think it's best you know we play the leading 
               
role on giving up.

I'm only 80% sure this is correct, I'm currently trying to figure out the 
tab for this song but sadly my music player crashed so I'm currently having 
a hard time doing tabs (as I can't listen to the song...)
