Capo 5 C Am F G
Oh please just promise me
you wont spend all you money
on fucking cigarettes again
I know it's how you tend to fight through your day
but you have more important things
and you have bills you need to pay
I can't get you to quit so I'm just gonna start
maybe then I'll understand why they're so close to your heart
you never let anything rule your life quite like
the nicotine each and every night
CHORUS
In the morning it sounds like you're dying
and one of these days you finally will
In the Evening why bother lying to yourself we both know
Cigarettes'll kill
Loving you is the worst thing that I'll ever do
You'll ruin my head and you'll ruin my health
At the end of the day
I wouldn't have it any other way
SO TELL ME
CHORUS (alternate ending)
"why bother lying to yourself or me or anyone at all"
CHORUS
Cigarettes'll kill

A D A E (occasional E7's at the end of a line)
I never meant to say those things that I said to you
I didn't want to drag you down with me too
I never meant for you to have to see
What I call the darkest part of me
I lose my shit more often than I'd like to admit
It's just a side effect of living the way I live
CHORUS
I admit a lot of things in the midst of a panic attack
I admit a lot of shit that I wish that I could just take back
(x2)
It's not that it wasn't the truth
Or that I didn't mean it
I just tend to keep to myself
And I promise that that's for a reason
I get worked up I get stressed out
My words never come out right
I start to shake I start to choke
Can we please call it a night
CHORUS
The fact that you stuck around
And the fact that you talked me down
Really Sticks out in my mind
The fact that I know you're there
And the fact that I know you care
Really helps me in these times
CHORUS (with stops)
CHORUS
Wish that I could take it back (x2)
I wish that I had taken that shit back

Intro/Verse G D Em C G D C
Bridge G D C
Intro
I wanna leave I wanna get away from here
I'd rather not stay for another year
My mind is terrible and goddamn this town's unbearable
I don't know why anyone would stay
Intro
I don't know where I'm gonna go
But I know this place is not my home
You may not understand I do not need a helping hand
I need to do this on my own
Intro
Bridge
And though it's highly unlikely
You might just see me on the street
And maybe I'll say
(with pauses)
"You were right I should have stayed"
"I should have never gone away"
"I know that now"
(spoken) "I really hate lying to people tho"
If you didn't know I'm already packed
I can promise you that I am not coming back
I didn't want this to upset you
But we both know its the truth
G D C
But we both know its the truth
Intro (Hold out the C a few times at the end and then end on a G)

Capo 3
Verse C Am F G
Chorus Am F G C Am F G
People ask me why all my songs sound the same
People ask me why I can't get you off my brain
People ask me if I know another why
But I can't answer those questions
People ask me if I tried to run away
People ask me if I need a place to stay
People ask me if I'll make it through another day
But I can't answer those questions
CHORUS
Someday maybe that'll change
Maybe I'll figure it out
Someday maybe that'll change
But for right now
Please don't ask me where it is that I'm going
Please don't ask me if I plan on coming home
Please don't ask me if I know just what it is I'm doing
I can't answer those questions
Please don't ask me where it is that I'm headed
Please don't ask me if I know just what I left behind
Please don't ask me if I knew my mothers heart would break
I can't answer those questions
CHORUS
I'm living my life
I'm trying to do it right
I'm doing what it is that I've gotta do
To survive
(2nd time repeat "to survive")

My Letter To You
02:21
|

|
Capo 5 G D Em C
It's a letter, It's a withdraw
I'm taking myself out of your game
I'm tired, I'm fed up
You were playing, while I was waiting
For you to finally come back home
Now I realize, that can't happen
CHORUS
I promise you, I'm not losing sleep anymore
I promise you, this is the last time my heart hits the floor
I promise you, I'm not losing sleep anymore
I promise you, this is the last time
I gave my all to you, and you just threw it back
You said you felt trapped
You lead me on for months, only to then say
You never felt the same way
CHORUS
Hope you're happy, know that I am
No this was never part of my plan
But you're a liar, and a fake out
I don't know what we've been fighting about
CHORUS

Mr President

Capo 5 G D Em C
Mr President could you please spare a moment
I have some questions for you
Mr President how is it that you live
Knowing you do the things you do
You've denied thousands of people
Of their basic human rights
You've made a joke of a system you're supposed to uphold
How is you sleep at night
Mr President I promise this to you
No we won't stand by
Mr President America is pissed with you
We won't take it this time
You blame the media but we all know the truth
Why do you continue to lie
As you signed off on an order that strips us bare
Do you care if we die
The people are crying out
"He's not my president, Not my president"
Away
The people are crying out
"He's not my president, He's not my fucking president"
Okay
Mr President could you please spare a moment
I have some questions for you
Mr President how is it that you live
What are you going to do
