[Verse 1]
[G]It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a
[G5]Typical story where the
bassist kills the singer
[G]And the guitarist and the [G5]drummer find
they're in love with each other
It's the story of the kid [G]who
clearly [G5]won't [G]know what to [G5]say
[G]When the lov[F]e of his life starts
to [Bb]calmly walk away
And it's the [G5]story of the dad
who decides to chase his dream
He quits his job,
he falls apart and he loses everything
And it's the story [G]of the kid who who
just wants to make a record
Loves and [Am]crafts it but nobody [F]ever,
ever cares about [G]it [G5](well)

[Verse 2]
Hey hey, what's your name?
Talk is for the guys you [D5]hate
[G5]We should sit in silence while we
think of what to say, hey
Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
Will you for[F]get I even asked you
to come [G]over [F#]to my h[G5]ouse?
Hey, hey, I don't think I know [D]much
[G5]But I know I couldn't take a good punch
So [Dm]if you fe[G5]el like I've
been talking enough
[G]Just tel[A]l me to shut up [Am]and I[A]
will [F]gladly shut the [F#]fuck up

[Verse 3]
I'm [B]afraid of everything
staying the same or worsening
So what's the point of finding calm,
when calm to me is unsettling?
Settle down, little kid,
your bones are shaking in your skin
[A5]Go and t[Am]ry and take a breath, th[A5]ough nothin[G]g more,
nothing less (it's a, it's [G5]a, it's a)

[Verse 4]
Typical story of the king who had it all
Except for citizens who didn't
want his head up on a wall
It's the typical story of the wife
who couldn't [G]quit
[F]Being in love with such
a gi[F#]ant piece of shit
It's the [G]story of the queen
[G5]who could never ever think
[D]Of [G5]any redeeming qualities
a man could ever bring
It's the story of the [G]dog
[G5]who wanted to run away
[G]'Til he [Am]learned that his life is
way [F]safer inside a [F#]cage[Bb]

[Verse 5]
I don't [Bb]really need much
Just [G]a place to [Am]be alone and
you won't really see much
[A5]I thin[Bb]k that I'm invisible,
my mirror shows another [G]guy
[Bb]A guy [Am]doesn't do shit,
he just sits in his [G5]miserable
Every[G]body's gotta live a [G5]life
That [G]they didn't ask for
[G5]Why would [G]he put me here j[G5]ust [G]to die?
[G5]Just to, just to, die[G]
[G5]Hey

[Verse 6]
hey, what's your name?
Talk is for the guys you [Dm]hate
[G5]We should sit in silence while we
think of what to say, hey
Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
Will [F]you forget I even asked you
to come [F#]over to [G]my house?
[G5]Hey, hey, I don't think I know [Dm]much
[G5]But I know I couldn't take a good punch
So if you feel like I've
been talking enough
[G]Just [Am]tell me to shut up and I will [F]gladly [G]shut the
[G5][G][G5]
[G][G5][G][G5][A][Am][F][D]
[G5]fuck up
Every[G]body's [G5]gotta

[Verse 7]
live [G]a l[G5]ife
That [G]they didn't [G5]ask f[G]or
[G5]Why would [G]he put me
here [G5]just [G]to [G5]die?
Just to, just to, [G]die
[G5]Hey

[Verse 8]
hey, what's your name? [Gm]Talk

[G5]We should sit in silence while we
[Gm]think of [G5]what to say, hey

[G]Hey, [G5]hey, [G]I don't think I know muc[G5]h[D]
[G5]But I know I could[G]n't [G5]take a good punch
So [Gm]if you fe[G5]el like I've
been [G]talk[G5]ing e[G]nough
Just [Am]tell me to shut up and
I will [F]gladly shut the fuck up
