[Verse 1]
[E]Don't convince [G]your[A]self [E]to wait in
For some use[G]less [A]in forma[E]tion
The atten[G]tion you've
[A5]been[A] cra[E]ving
isn't life [A5]-sav [A]in[E]g
[G]Not [A]half -va[E]porizing, no
[C]If you close [G]your eye[D]s
and you listen [A]close[E]
[C]If you hold [G]your breath
[D]till your heart[A]beat [E]slows
They won't know [C]it,
[G]they [D]won't care, [A]either way[E]
An[C]d the most y[G]ou'll
[D]get is a [A]little [F#]taste
[F#m]It's just for a little e[G]xplana[A] ti[E]on
While you wait [G]in [A]line to [E]embrace them
And you kill [G]your[A]self
trying [E]to please them
When contempt [G]is [A]all you're
[E]feeling[A][E][G][A][E]
If [C]you close [G]your eye
[D]s and you listen [A]close[E]
[C]If you hold [G]your breath
[D]till your [A]heart beat [E]slows
They [C]won't know, [G]they [D]won't care
[A]Either [E]way
An[C]d your m[G]outh's j[D]ust dead,
it's a little [A]taste[F#]
[F#m]It's just fake p[E]raise[D][A][D][E][D][E][D][E][D][E][D][E][G]

[G][A][E][G][A][E][G][A][E][G][A][E]
Oh, [C]if you'd [G]your eye[D]s
and you'd [A]listen close[E]
[C]If you hold [G]your breath
[D]till your heart[A]beat slows
[E]Oh, they won't know and[C] they don[G]'t care
[D]Eit[A]her way[E]
An[C]d the knowl[G]edge you'll
get [D]is a [A]little [F#]taste
[F#m]It's just pain for race[C]
[G]It's [D]jus[A]t pai[E]n for rac[C]e[G]
[D]It's [A]just [E]pain, [C]for real[G]
[D]It's [A]just [E]pain, for [C]real[G]
[D]It's [A]just pai[E]n, for[A] real[E]
